ATHENS C. H. S. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ® President .......................Meredith Hurt Vice-President ........................Harold Hawkins Secretary......................June Van Meter Treasurer ......................Jane McKean Student Council Member .........Austin Stott Adviser.........................Miss Spelbring When the Class of 1937 entered school four years ago, it was somewhat larger than it is now. We started with forty-four in the Freshman Class. We now finish our high school career with a class of thirty-five members. We lost Wilma Doom. Mildred Bennett. Nelli Barnes. Eric Jones, and Herbert Ackerman before the first semester ended. Agnes Showalter entered school at the beginning of the second semester. Class parties and weiner roasts helped to round out our Freshman year successfully. The fall of ’34 rolled around, and we entered A. C. H. S. again, this time as Sophomores. Every- one had lots of fun initiating the Freshmen- we still remembered how our share of it was. We had class parties and weiner roasts, of course, and then our second year was finished. In September of ’35 we entered as Juniors. This ytar proved more eventful than the two preced- ing ones. We sold candy all year and gave a three act play, “For Pete’s Sake”, to finance the big social event of the year the Junior-Senior Banquet. We took the banquet to Springfield for the first time in the history of the school. It was given at Fisher’s Inn. and a colored orchestra and singer entertained. To wind up our high school days we entered A. C. H. S. as Seniors. This year, instead of edit- ing “The Athenian Sun”, we sent school articles to the Free Press. However, later we started put- ting out a six page Whirlwind”. We decided to publish a thirty-two page annual, and to earn money for it we raffled off two boxes of candy and gave two Senior plays. Baccalaureate and graduation finished our school year. 19)
