SCHOOL BOARD President ..................................................Mr. S. D. Cantrall Secretary ..................................................Mr. T. W. Kenyon DIRECTORS I)r. G. S. Van Wormer Mr. John Dirks Mr. J. D. Primn The Athens Community High School has long enjoyed an enviable reputation among the high schools of our state. In a very large measure this reputation owes its being to the splendid work of the Board of Education. These men have given willingly of their own time and energy for the one purpose of maintaining and strengthening the school’s standing. The guiding motto for all their action has been “Maximum opportunities for A. C. H. S. students”. Their fine spirit of cooperation and sincere interest have been an inspiration to teachers and students alike. The members of the class wish to express their appreciation for such a Hoard of Education. Page Ain c S. B. SULLIVAN, B. E. Illinois State Normal University. Coach. Mathematics.

S. would not be what it is if it were not for our teachers, these men and women who have had our experience and are now guiding us in our course. It is they who mould the success of student efforts. More than a decade of service stands behind Mr. Augspurger. The things he has done for us in his eleven years will always live. He has seen many students come and go; he has lightened their burden and brightened their way. His friends are innumerable in the school and in the community as a whole. He has become a student ideal with his golden wit. and bright energy. Many things have come in the scope of his influence. The orchestra, that patience-devouring organ, he has led; stunts, that will he long remembered for their originality and superb comedy, have come from him. Classes, of which he has been the sponsor, owe to him their enjoyable class activities. Mr. Augspurger’s achievements have brought him his deserved reward. Though County Superintendent he will always remain to us, who have known him intimately, our faithful friend and teacher. The Domestic Science department feels the loss of Miss Braucht. who, at the end of the first semester departed from A. C. H. S. May she enjoy the success which her work here has shown that she justly deserves. She had been for three and a half years the Domestic manager of our school. Banquets, parties and entertainments of all kinds she managed efficiently to a delightful result. Her place was filled by Mrs. Heinsch. She has assumed all the responsibility and quickly become a part of A. C. H. S. The Music Department is becoming very prominent through the influence of two very competent instructors. Mrs. Sullivan, on every Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday guides the students interested in this course. She is responsible for improved Glee Clubs and the other vocal entertainments. In her beginning sightreading classes she initiates Freshmen in happy expression, and cultivates upper classmen’s voices; inspiring students to express themselves through song. For four years Mr. Chambers has been faithfully giving instruction every Wednesday to pupils in instrumental music. His efforts are bearing fruit: at present he deals with about thirty students. He makes music all that it is supposed to be. and more, with the addition of his humorous observations. A. C. H. S. students enjoy great opportunity by having such teachers.

Page Nineteen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years have passed since thirty-nine students, each with his own idea of what he wanted to accomplish while here, began work at A. C. H. S. As we review our fellow classmates, we find that four years have left their marks on the class. No longer is it a gallant thirty-nine; it has decreased to twenty-one students who have held together to the end, to make up our Senior Class of 1931. Let us go back to September 5, 1927, when our number first came in contact with A. C. H. S. ideals and methods. The officers elected this year were: President—Ell win Warmoth. Vice-President—Maxine Power. Secretary Treasurer—Vida Primm. We were not long in adapting ourselves to A. C. H. S. Freshmen began to find themselves in literary, music and athletics. They began to show what they would be as Sophomores. September 1, 1928. No longer are we the “verdant Freshmen”—that is twenty-one of us aren’t; for our class has lost eighteen students. Our efforts are greater this year to make up for loss in members. A few of us are getting prominent in various activities. We are carrying the ideals of A. C. H. S. another step higher. As Sophomores we earnestly endeavor to give our best as a class and as individuals. The officers of this year were: President—Maxine Power. Vice-President—Louise Primm. Secretary Treasurer—Stanley Barnes. Two years are completed: the A. C. H. S. race is half won; we are Juniors. This year we attempt and succeed very well in doing a few things of a larger scale. The Junior Play. “When a Feller Needs a Friend” was a big hit”. There were many little things in the course of its production which every classmate will remember. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the finishing touch to the most successful year yet experienced. Junior officers were: President—Wilma Zschoche. Vice-President—Wanda Wiseman. Secretary Treasurer--Rosalyn Cantrall. Page Tzvcnly When the next term began we still had twenty-one; it is true that some had taken the places of others, but we adopted them heartily and embarked upon the Senior voyage which would lead us from A. C. H. S. to things which each individual must encounter himself without the strength of his trusty classmates. A. C. II. S. ideals have become very dear to us now; we will carry them onward after we have left. They will help us to overcome future obstacles just as they have helped in the past. Seniors put forth their golden efforts this year: This book “The Annual had a rough voyage, to be sure, but our Seniors who have piloted it over shoals and through narrow passage have, we hope, made a thing of appreciation for all. Two one-act plays, “The Trysting Place and “A Case of Suspension. followed a few weeks later by a three-act play, “The Mummy and the Mumps,” are the final additions to our last year’s work. We are departing from the place which through four years we have come to love. We have gained the “flowing black” and cast away the “fresh green ; we have gained in education, in social experience, in character, we have lived four years of outstanding life. Our officers this year were: President—Robert Marten. Vice-President—Stanley Barnes. Secretary Treasurer—Arthur Fisher. Chas. Jensen: Well, I had to shoot our old dog this morning. Kldon Heprikson: Was he mad? Chas: Well, he wasn’t so durned pleased about it. Mr. Augspurger: Ben. can you tell me what takes place between the transmitter and the receiver of a telephone? Bernhard Tobias: Telephone poles. Page Tzvcnty-onc CLASS WILL Now that we are just about to finish another lap in the field of education and opportunities, we feel that our talents and personal property should be dedicated to the under classmen. Therefore, we the Seniors of 1931 of the Athens Community High School, being sound of mind, do hereby make, declare and publish this, our last will and testament. First, we appoint our patient and persevering teachers, executors of this, our last will and testament, for their excellent efforts to better our standards. They have valiantly helped us on our weary way to the end of the trail. We as individuals do hereby bequeath our earthly property as follows: Stanley Barnes bequeaths his speaking ability to Helen Jones. Gilbert Wiseman bequeaths his studious ways to Howard Agee. Maxine Power leaves her acting ability to Frances Handlin. N. O. Primm bequeaths his crushes on under classmen to Carl Jensen. Rosalyn Cantrall wills her aristocratic ways to Sarah Walsh. Carl Richardson leaves his gentlemanliness to Carl Smith. Wanda Wiseman leaves her dependability to Eleanor Shaw. Bernhard Tobias bequeaths his easy and carefree ways to Wendell Grant. Jeanette Council bequeaths her wavy hair to Martha Derry. Louise Primm wills her worry over non-prepared lessons to Thomas Markey. Eldon Henrikson leaves his ability to chew gum to Melvin O’Neal. Wilma Zschoche bequeaths her vocal talent to Mildred Jensen. Charles Jensen bequeaths his power to bluff to Eugenia Baugher. Mary Clemens leaves her lady like manners to Mary Opal O’Neal. Ruth Dixon wills her surplus avoirdupois to Donald Hopwood. Hazel Adams leaves her quietness to Frances Miller. Barbara Batterton bequeaths her height to Belle Allen. Arthur Fisher bequeaths his witty chatter to Gladys Sanders. Nora Thompson leaves her energy and pep to Harriett Cantrall. Robert Marten wills his basketball ability to Neville Holler. Kenneth Greer bequeaths his task of running errands to Claude Elliott. Besides our personal gifts we leave of our own free will our tender memories of our pleasant association together, our forgiveness of anything we may not have appreciated enough, and our pledge of friendship together. In witness, whereof, we the class of 1931. do hereby set our hand and seal on this, the 26th day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-one. Page Twenty-two CLASS PROPHECY Before taking up my position at Heidelburg University I decided to return to the United States. While in Paris I met Nora Thompson, a prominent young society woman, and Eldon Henrikson. a great scientist. Nora was leaving for America also so we made the trip together. While at sea we were saved from a terrible fate by the dear captain and crew. Later we discovered that the captain was Bernhard Tobias. After our arrival in New York we decided to look around. The signs above the Fox Theatre attracted our attention. We attended the play and were very happy to find our old classmates, Stanley Barnes and Maxine Power. Later we went to our hotel where we met Kenneth Greer, a great broker, and Charles Jensen, a great surgeon. The next morning we went shopping and made another discovery. Rosalyn Cantrall was the Manager in a large department store in New York. Rosalyn gave us some tickets for a concert with Mary E. Clemens as the leading lady. Mary E. has acquired much fame as a singer and a great future lies ahead of her. We left New York for Washington, D. C., where we met Louise Primm. private secretary of the President of the U. S. Leaving Washington we boarded a train for Chicago. On the train we met Jeanette Council, who was now a delegate for some big corporation in Florida. In Chicago we attended a large Agriculture Fair which was being sponsored by Gilbert Wiseman, Agriculture Instructor at the U. of I. We saw some excellent farm products which were exhibited by Carl Richardson, a farmer who resided near Chicago. We also met at the fair Mr. and Mrs. N. O. Primm and the former Hazel Adams who was married to a wealthy farmer and lived near Champaign. Nora had some old friends she wanted to see in Champaign so we went there for a day. That night we attended a basketball game and saw Robert Marten, who was coach of U. of I. As we were leaving who should we meet but Barbara Bat-terton. Barbara told us that she was matron of one of the Sorority houses. The next morning we started for Athens. On arriving in Athens we visited A. C. H. S. which had changed a great deal since we, the class of ’31 had departed. We discovered here Arthur Fisher, who was the Art instructor of the new class of art which had been added to the other list of subjects. Leaving Athens we arrived in St. Louis where we went to the hospital to see a dear friend. As we were leaving the hospital we met Wilma Zschoche, a white-capped nurse, who is so loved by all the patients in the hospital. Finally we reached California and went to the University of California where we knew Wanda Wiseman was teaching home economics. Soon Nora and I separated because time was drawing nearer for me to start back to Germany. Page Tzccnty-three Kt 0 -fLLDG€ mohc juniors MfcS?

In several weeks, when the same adventurers were well acquainted with each other, they held their first meeting and appointed for the first lap of the journey their leaders. John Zschoche, Paul Wasilewski, Mary Ann Downey and Dean Silvey. Harriett Cantrall exhibited much ability as a pianist and others made themselves prominent by their hard work in school thereby earning a vacation. In Athletics our class was also outstanding. The Freshmen Basketball Team won six games and lost none. They helped to win the sweepstakes in the Athens Holiday Carnival. Three members were placed on the Freshmen all star team. There were two good socials during the year, a party at one of the classmates’ home and a picnic at Springfield. This was the close of the activities of the first year. Page Twen ty-seven In the fall of 1929. thirty-four members arrived to begin the second lap of the journey. A few members had dropped out but four new names were added to the roll during the year. The officers elected were Carl Jensen. Cloyd Hurt and Helen Lott with Lois Canterbury as Student Council Representative. In September a weiner roast was held at Indian Point and a picnic in Spring-field. in May. The Liteweight Team, which was made up mostly of Sophomores won the Little Six League and lost only two games during the year. The Sophomores were well represented in the Inter-Society Contest, including Humorous Declamation, Girls’ Glee Club, and orchestra. As we entered the third lap of the journey, we realized that half our enjoyable school days were over and that we must now prepare ourselves for the difficulties we shall meet in the years to come. The officers for this year were: Lois Canterbury, Carl Smith and Gleneth Taylor, with John Kincaid as Student Council Representative and Frances Miller as Class Reporter. Our class still kept up their basketball record with Harry Nichols, John Zschoche, Melvin O'Neal. John Kincaid, Oliver Van Email, Thomas Markey, and Cloyd Hurt on the first squad. This year we had a larger representation in the Literary field than last year. Our class was represented in the contest by vocal solo, Carl Smith. Cloyd Hurt, and Melvin O’Neal. In piano solo by Harriett Cantrall and Corrine Smith, and in humorous declamation by Frances Miller and Gwendolyn Carlson. The Junior Play was given with great success and with the proceeds the Juniors will entertain the Seniors at a Banquet. Carroll Knoles: What would you do with $1,000 if I was to give it to you? Carl Smith: The first thing I would do would be to count it. Page Twen ty-eigh t SOCRATES “True wisdom is to know what is good and to do what is right.” Sophomores Page Twenty-nine C. HALL M. L.

H. S. Some of the pioneers showed great talent in the early high-school days. There were Earl Hawkins, who made the Varsity basketball team, and Helen Culver and Albert Basso who showed ability before the footlights. The leaders of this pioneer group were Henry Hackman, President; Gladys Sanders, Vice-President; Elma Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer. With a number of socials and good times, the first of the four-year journey was ended. Page Thirty-one In the fall of 1930. there were thirty-two of this number returned, including two pioneers who did not start the journey at A. C. H. S. They were Zana Cox and Hoy McDaniels. However. Zana did not complete the year at Athens. The next step was to elect the officers of this group of hearty pioneers. The ballots were cast and the following officers elected: Charles Hall—President. Herschel Primm—Vice-President. Mary Lynn Johnson—Secretary-Treasurer. Then Mr. Kambly and Miss Raisty were appointed as the advisors. The group was represented in the X-Y contest by Helen Culver, Albert Basso, and Klma Johnson. This group of pioneers who were called Sophomores won the annual class basketball tourney and also placed one of its members, Earl Hawkins, on the All-Star team during the Athens Tourney. The thing that this class regretted most was the illness of Edwin Grant. Among the Athletes, we feel proud to have members of all of the teams— Baseball. Track and Basketball. Paul Wasilewski was elected manager of the track team. There was one good picnic during the year—a weiner roast held at Lincoln Park in Springfield. Mr. Augspurger: What do we call a man who keeps on talking when people are no longer intere_sted? Mary Lynn Johnson: A teacher! Earl Hawkins: Claude Elliot claims he made a new record with his auto last year. Helen Culver: Yes, he put thirty-nine people in the hospital. Elma Johnson: Let’s see. whom were we discussing? Margaret Primm: I forgot. Who went out last? Page Thirty-two MARCUS AURELIUS Aurelius thanked the gods “for good teachers, good associates, and good friends” Freshmen Page Thirty-three R. KENYON E.

S. to launch their triremes into the sea of learning with a determination to fight on through the four years of school in a conquest of success. Page Thirty-five After they were well started on their journey the class organized and elected these officers: Richard Kenyon—President. William Mason—Vice-President. Eleanor Stone—Secretary-Treasurer. A few of this band succeeded in getting on the Light-weight Basketball Squad, they were Dale Naylor, William Mason, Howard Agee, Charles Henderson and Morris Hall. On the night of February 21, this jolly crew assembled at A. C. H. S. for a good time. (They succeeded.) In the early part of March a new member was acquired. It was Lowell Estill, formerly of Greenview. Seven Freshmen took part in the Annual Literary Contest. None succeeded in placing first, but three gained second place; those entered were: Piano solo—Marjorie Van Wormer, Marion McKean. Oration—Morris Hall. Vocal Solo—Mary O’Neal. Humorous Declamation—Eleanor Stone, Richard Kenyon. After finishing this first years lap this band, the largest in several years, is prepared to start their fight on through the next three years. Richard Kenyon: Why the crutches? Billy Mason: (On crutches) I was going home in the dark last night and I stumbled over one of those new Austins. Mr. Kambly was giving a lesson to the Freshmen on the weather idiosyncrasies of March. “What is it,” he asked, that comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb?” And Marjorie Van Wormer in the back row, replied: “Father.” Ethel Stewart: And when you told the policeman you were speeding to get away from a bandit he didn't arrest you? Edward Culver: No, he climbed into the car with me and told me to step on it. Page Thirty-six DISCOBOLOS Athletics Page Thirty-seven OUR COACHES When Mr. Sullivan came to Athens to take Mr. Porter’s place as coach as well as principal he was faced with the task of satisfying a community which was accustomed to winning teams. The first year he won thirty-eight percent of the games played. In this thirty-eight percent was the district title. The second year he won sixty-nine per cent of all games played and another district title. This year his team won seventy-nine percent of ail games played. They played in four tournaments, winning the Athens and Green view tournaments and placing second in the Pontiac and District tournaments. In addition to this basketball record he has consistently coached winning teams in the other sports. Mr. Kambly’s first year of Athletic coaching has been marked with the same success as his teaching. His fine personality and willingness to work have been an inspiration to the students. New interest has been created in track, and his four years’ experience on a college tennis team make him an able coach in that sport. The large number of under-classmen who have demonstrated an interest gives almost positive assurance of better teams next year. We wish you success, Mr. Kambly!

Basketball Practice began early in October. There were about thirteen boys fighting for positions on the squads and about that many on the lightweights. The squad was very successful during the year, winning four trophies, three of which were firsts and the other a second. With only two letter men back it didn’t look very promising but the new material more than made up for the lack of experience. When the season ended it showed that the team had won thirty, while losing eight games. Athens won the honors in the Little Six League, losing only one game and that to Petersburg in two overtimes. In the Athens Tournament the team won its first trophy, then the following week they placed second in the Pontiac Tournament, having defeated some of the best teams in the state. Two weeks later the team walked off with the cup at Greenview. The boys were all keyed up to win the District, but Petersburg put a stop to that to the tune of 20-12. This wrote finis” to the 1930-31 basketball season. Pane Forty Back row—Nichols, Zschoche. Front row—Barnes, Marten, Hawkins.

A. succeeded in having a few meetings at the beginning of the school year. Our first meeting was a meeting to get the “Freshies” interested in this. Several of them joined. We did not do as much as we would have liked to, but hope we will accomplish something later on. Because of lack of points, several girls lost membership. The following officers are: President—Wilma Libbie. Vice-President—Harriett Cantrall. Secretary-Treasurer—Maxine Power.

The officers elected were: President. Carl Jensen; Vice-president. John Kincaid; Secretary and Treasurer, Gleneth Taylor. Twenty-four new members were drawn from the Freshman Class in the usual way. The society hopes to receive much talent from these new members. The “X Program was given on October 24. The program had a variety of numbers ranging from humorous readings to instrumental and vocal numbers, and concluded with a very appropriate discussion of “Halloween”. In the contest the society was represented in vocal by Carl Smith, in piano solo by Harriett Cantrall and Marjorie Van Wormer. in humorous declamation by Eleanor Stone and Gwendolyn Carlson, in dramatic by Elma Johnson and Eleanor Wiseman, in oration by Kenneth Greer and Stanley Barnes and in Extemporaneous speaking by Stanley Barnes. Page Fifty Hack row—Zschoche, Hall, Hurt, Basso, O’Neal, Front row—O’Neal, McKean, Wllcoxin, Miller, Kenyon, Wiseman.

Soon the Freshmen were divided and those drawn by the “Y's” were received with welcome. Two excellent programs were given by our society. The success was due to the talent of our members and the society sponsor. Miss Schumacher. In the intersociety contest “Y’s” were represented by the following people: Dramatic Declamation—Ethel Wiseman. Wilma Zschoche. Humorous Declamation—Richard Kenyon. Frances Miller. Extemporaneous Speaking—Ruth Dixon. Piano—Corrine Smith. Marion McKean. Vocal—Mary O’Neal. Wilma Zschoche. Helen Culver. Albert Basso. Melvin O’Neal, Cloyd Hurt. The “Y’s” came through with their third consecutive victory over the “X’s” and we were proud to have six of our members represent the A. C. H. S. in the sub-district contest. In the sub-district live of our members won and will compete in the district contest at Normal. May 2.

These people with the orchestra and Glee Clubs compete in the District Meet. “We are behind them and we wish them luck.” Page Fifty-tzvo DRAMATICS As a rule the dramatic activities of the A. C. H. S. include three full length plays, but this year the Seniors gave two one-act plays and one lengthy play. The first play of the season this year was given by the “Ag” Classes, the second by the Juniors and the last three by the Seniors. These plays are to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Annual. JUNIOR PLAY “The Man in the Green Shirt Following in the footsteps of A. C. H. S. Juniors of other years, the Junior Class of '31. co-operated in bringing to us a play tfcat Athens might well be proud of. Frances Miller, as the elderly Matron, once badly bitten by the society bug. and Carl Jensen, as her slaving husband, showed us the folly of life when spent in a search for money. Willie Roach and Lena Mae Crow, better known as Carroll Knoles and Eleanor Shaw, tickled everybody’s funny bone throughout the play. Janice Hudspeth and Carl Smith were lovable lovers while Lois Canterbury and Charles Holsheiser had the audience actually gnashing their teeth over the falseness of their scheme. Incidentally, we might say we liked it and think everyone else did, too. Page Fifty-three FIRST SENIOR PLAYS This year the Seniors, by way of variety, pave two one-act plays instead of one three-act play. The first of these plays was, “The Trysting Place.” There Barbara Batterton. Maxine Power, and Wilma Zschoche took the girls’ parts while Bernhard Tobias, Stanley Barnes, Charles Jensen and Robert Marten played opposite. The second play given was “A Case of Suspension”. This was a comedy. Here we found Arthur Fisher and Louise Primm very excellent “Professors”. Nora Thompson. Mary Clemens and Rosalyn Cantrall—three College girls; Elden Henrikson, Kenneth Greer and Robert Marten—under graduates of a nearby school. Jeanette Council, Irish maid, and Gilbert Wiseman, the “Seminary Man” were other characters. SECOND SENIOR PLAY “The Mummy and the Mumps This play will be given during the last week of school. The characters are as follows: Sir Hector Fish—who impersonates the Mummy.............Gilbert Wiseman Francis Briscoe—who impersonates Sir Hector ..............Clias Jensen William Laidlaw—who helps as much as possible ..........Stanley Barnes James Slammon—who has three men’s work to do but doesn’t do it.. .Arthur Fisher Perkins the Sheriff—who does his duty....................Robert Marten Anna Hampton—a western girl.............................Nora Thompson Maude Mullen—an eastern girl ............................Louise Primm Dulcie Dumble—rather beautiful but dumb............... Wilma Zschoche Agatha Laidlaw—founder of the most exclusive school in New England ..............Barbara Batterton Phoebe Beebe—reporter on the staff of the “Daily Deliverance”.. Wanda Wiseman Gilbert Wiseman: Say. if I invite a girl to the theatre, send her flowers to wear, take her down in a taxi, and treat her to a supper after the play, should I kiss her good-night? Charles Jensen: No! You’ve done enough for her! Page Fifty-four Back row—Rubles. Johnson. Stone. Kincaid. Wiseman, Smith, Yoacum. VanWormer, Auga- !)ur on °ro%v G |ji iav SGrant.TZschoch ! k m les!

We don’t know, but we do know that prophecy has been fulfilled. In the 1930 Athenian you will find it stated that the Orchestra this year will be the best of all and here they are. The best in seven counties in their class, having won that distinction by taking first place in our sub-district contest, held April 18. We played for several community programs as well as school affairs and have three tentative church engagements as this is being written. We also expect to give a Concert Commencement week. In the advanced group we have, Carl Smith. Lois Canterbury. Janice Hudspeth. Elma Johnson—violins; Beulah Ingram, mandolin; Carl Jensen, banjo; Donald Hopwood, saxophone; Carroll Knoles, cornet; Albert Basso and Stanley Barnes, trombones; Corrine Smith, piano, and Wilma Zschoche and Wendall Grant, clarinets. The above members are entered in the District Contest at Normal which will be May 2. We hope we may place in this meet, but competition is strong in our class. Mr. Chambers served as instructor of instruments and Mr. Augspurger as director during the year. Good music-will bring the soul of man in harmony with his maker. Let’s have more of it. Farewell ’till you hear from us next year. Page Fifty-five Back row—Yoacum, Zschoche, Walsh, Lawson, Barnes, Stewart, Ruggles, Stone, Prlmm. .mi.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB More interest was taken in the Girls’ Glee Club this year than ever before and an unusual number of Freshmen tried out. There was a membership of more than thirty girls. Officers were elected at the first meeting—Wilma Zschoche, president, and Harriett Cantrall, secretary. Rehearsals were held on an average of twice a week with such good results that the Glee Club, singing “The Song of the Mountaineer” and “Mistress Margarita” took first place in the Sub-District contest for the first time in its history. The Club was asked to sing a number of times; both on High School Programs and those of neighboring country schools. A. C. H. S. is expecting the Girls to give a good account of themselves in the District contest at Normal. Page Fifty-six Back row—McKean, Hurt, Jensen. Jensen, Nichols, Hackman. Hall. Ba.sso. Front row—Rugfrles, O’Neil, Smith, Primm, Wilcox, Knoles. Hawkins, Kliot. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club was organized at the beginning of the second semester. Seventeen boys reported at the first call and only one dropped by the wayside. So far the club has worked on only a few numbers as much time has been put on the required number for the State contest. Now that the contest is over, work will be started on several new numbers to be used during the rest of the year. The Glee Club was awarded first place in the Sub-District contest, without competition. In the district contest the Glee Club was cut to eight members for the one performance. Most of the boys will be back next year and with this year’s experience, they should furnish an excellent foundation for a better organization next year. Page Fifty-seven Back row—Doom. Johnson.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA A year ago last September, the boys enrolled in agriculture, and those who had taken agriculture before, and who are in school organized the Athens Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization which is divided into state and local chapters. The purpose of this organization is to give the farm hoys a chance to get together socially, to promote interest in the farm and its problems, and to give the hoys the confidence and ability in conducting meetings. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President .... Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .... Reporter ..... Gilbert Wiseman John Kincaid ....Charles Hall Kenneth Greer Arthur Fisher In the fall we sponsored the Ag. Fair at A. C. H. S. The play, “Fingerprints, ’ with a cast chosen from the entire student body was given to help finance the fair. In order to interest prospective Future Farmers, we gave a play, “Womanless Wedding.” at various rural schools, and we hope this will result in an increase in membership next year. Page Fifty-eight STUDENT COUNCIL Soon after the school year began members of the Student Council were elected. The following members were chosen: President of Student Body Freshman Class .......... Sophomore Class ......... Junior Class ............ Senior Class ............ “Y” Society ............. “X” Society ............. G. A. A.....:............ B. A. A.................. This organization represents the student body as a whole, and tries to bring about a better attitude between the students and to create a feeling of respect toward the school. Various plans were discussed and submitted to the students who were eager to carry them out. Through cooperation, of everyone, the Student Council feels that its plans have been successful.

This year our freshmen signed the pledge before the grand march to the “Gym where refreshments were served, and games played. The Parent-Teachers Reception was an all-around good fellowship event as the teachers and parents were soon acquainted and the evening began. Games were played and refreshments served while everyone co-operated willingly to make the evening a big success. The townspeople responded to our call for entries for the “Ag Fair and much variety was shown in those things on display. The evening activities consisted of a program, followed by a picture show. There was very good attendance, throughout. The annual Halloween Party was just as gruesome this year as ever. There was a program in the assembly before the “grand march” to the “Gym”. In the “Gym” games were played and refreshments served. Later the unmasking took place. The “Ag” Play, “Fingerprints,” displayed the talents of the “Ag” and Home Economics Classes. The cast was made up of: Arthur Fisher. John Zschoche. Maxine Power. Eleanor Shaw, Stanley Barnes. Charles Hall and Barbara Batterton. The Junior-Senior Banquet. This year the Junior Class is working hard to make their banquet a success. Both classes look forward to a pleasant evening. Page Sixty — MNEMOSYNE Memories Page Sixty-one CLASS CALENDAR August 25.
