ATHENIAN Senior Class History Four years ago an assorted group of forty-two students, all more or less nervous, trouped up to the front desk and enrolled into the Freshman class of the Athens Community High School. This was the beginning of one of the most interesting four years of their lives. The officers elected were: President, Aurelia Craig; Vice-President, Clarence Basso; Secretary, Betty Johnson. The next year twelve of the original number were missing, having dropped out or moved away. Officers elected to pilot them this annum were: President, Betty Johnson; Vice-President, Clair Hurt; Secretary, Elizabeth Kenyon. Many literary artists were uncovered this year in the preliminary contest. One of our number, Aurelia Craig, represented A. C. H. S. in the County contest. Our Editor of the annual began his career at this time in A. C. H. S. Next comes the third year with a few more classmates missing, only half of the original number being left. Officers elected for the year were: Presi- dent, Watson Hall; Vice-President, Joe McLavish; Secretary, Elizabeth Kenyon. This group put on one of the best plays produced in High School. The cast included such stars as Elizabeth Kenyon, Betty Johnson, Alma Kincaid, Ituth Clemens, Arnola Young, Joe McLavish, Watson Hall, Robert Van Eman, and Cecil Fenton. Next comes the fourth and most successful year. Officers are: Presi- dent, Joe McLavish; Vice-President, Stella Whitenack; Secretary, Watson Hall; Treasurer, Betty Johnson. Our class now totals twenty-seven members. One distinction of this class is, that it is the first class in the history of A. C. H. S. to graduate in caps and gowns. One play has been received with great acclamation, some saying it was the best ever produced. Another is being worked on at this time. We hope that the class of ’28 carries on the standards of A. C. II. S. as well as the former graduating classes have endeavored to do. Five
