THE 1942 ATHENIAN The story of the 1941-1942 school year told In word and picture by the Class of 1942. Athens Community High School Athens, Illinois DEDICATION We, the Class of 1942 of Athens Community High School, dedicate this book to all graduates of A.C.H.S. who are now in some branch of our national service, and to our two former teachers, Lieut. S. L. Buddemeier and Pvt. R. C. Ferguson, who are also in the service of their country. APPRECIATION The faculty and student body take this means of expressing their appreciation to Mr. S. D. Cantrall and Dr. G-. S. Van Wormer for their years of loyal service as members of the Athens Community High School Board of Education. It was with feelings of regret that we learned of their intention to retire from active ser- vice, but we have their assurance of their continued interest in the success of our school. Mr. S. D. Cantrall Mr. Cantrall has been a life-long member of this community, having been born and reared on a farm near Athens. He was elected November 5, 1917, as a member of the first board of the Athens Community High School, and he has given twenty-five years of faithful service to the school. Mr. Cantrall served as president of the Board three terms: 1924-25, 1925-26, and 1931-32. He is the father of three children: Mrs. Theodore Rein- ders, Ashland, Illinois; Mrs. Merle Estill, Springfield, Illinois; and Henry Cantrall, Athens—all of whom at- tended A. C. H. S. Dr. G-. S. Van Wormer Dr. Van Wormer, who was born in Virden, first came to Athens in 1905. He can be justifiably proud of hav- ing been a member of the grade school board which fathered the present community high school. He was elected to the board in 1920 and has been a member con- tinuously. Since that time Dr. Van Wormer served as president of the board four successive terms, 1927-28, 1928-29, 1929-30, and 1930-31. Since 1931 he has been its secretary. As a token of his loyal interest in the school, Dr. Van Wormer is leaving a plaque which will be engraved annually with the name of some outstanding student. His daughter, Miss Marjorie, of Chicago, Illinois, was graduated from A. C. H. S. in 1934. Both Dr. Van Wormer and Mr. Cantrall are ardent fishermexi_and basketball fans. Their Wednesday fishing excursions have long been a tradition in Athens, and a basketball game without-JtJtiein just doesn't seem right. We hope that they will continue to attend all our school functions, and we wish to assure them of a warm welcome. A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS To all Readers: With this issue of the Athenian we are trying to bring to the readers a picture of life as it took place in A. C. H. S. this past year. We present both formal and informal pictures of the seniors and many action shots which were taken during special events. We hope that this book will remain a living record of our school life long after we have forgotten our American history and English literature. This year the graduates wish to show their appre- ciation to those who are defending our country in this national crisis by dedicating their yearbook to them. On the division pages we have printed the names of dif- ferent branches of the service, and with each branch we have listed the A. C. H. S. graduates now serving in that particular division of service. The omission of any names is unintentional. May we, in behalf of the class, extend our very best wishes to all those men who are fighting to keep our country free.

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Lucille Smith Mildred Hill Dorothy Rath Mary Van Eman The girls in the G. A. A. had a very interesting program this year. In the fall, they entertained some of the near by schools at a Play Day. During the course of the year, they entered such soorts as softball, vol- ley ball, badminton, basketball, and several different phases of dancing. Because of the fact that the gym is usually in use by the boys, the girls had to put in their required number of hours after school. TRACK The track schedule is only partically conroleted. It is as follows: Petersburg Here Greenview Here Ashland Here Track has played a minor part in sports in Athens for several years, but the underclassmen have shown that they are good track material.

The staff and the class are especially oroud to dedi-' cate their book to former Athenians who are fighting for their country. Production has been somewhat ham- pered by the paper shortage and the necessity of get- ting the book to the bindery earlier than usual. LIBRARIANS The librarians—Ruth Kincaid, Dorothy Williams, May Jean Kopp, Virginia Claypool, Jeannette Brown, Anna Mae Freligh, Wilda Dirks, and Velda Van Eman—are de- serving of much praise for the fine spirit of coopera- tion and helpfulness which they showed in trying to meet the students' book needs. The names of Mary Van Eman, Lois Johnson, and Mary King should be included, for these girls also helped during the year. Outstanding accessions of the year were the new World Books and several helpful biographies. THE GAS BAG For the third consecutive year, Gene Kenyon edi- ted the Gas Bag. He was assisted by a very capable staff made up of representatives from the four classes. For the first time in several years, the advanced typing class was responsible for the production of the Gas Bag. The staff carried on a lively exchange vrith other schools. These papers were made available to the en- tire student body. ATHENIAN STAFF Row 1: Miss Spelbring, White, Estlll, R. Kincaid, M. J. Kopp, Kenyon, H. Stone, Claypool.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA President Vice President Secretary- Reporter Wayne Canterbury Loren Hopwood Thurman Ingram Donald Kincaid The F.F.A. boys found a full schedule awaiting them upon their return to school. Among their activi- ties were the F.F.A.—Home Ec. party, the sponsoring of the annual Vocational Ag. Fair, and the' selling of garden seeds. At Christmas time, the boys raffled a turkey to make monpy for their club treasury. STUDENT COUNCIL President Dean Mitts Vice President Howard Stone Secretary-treasurer Winifred Eddy Dean Mitts directed the activities of the Student Council this year. In addition to having charge of the check room and student elections, the Council inaugu- rated a new plan for financing assembly programs. Among the better programs were those given by Wilda Weaver, who read Webster1s Daddy Long Legs and the lecture by the ichthyologist, H. D. Preston. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB President Harriett Tobias Vice President Lucille Vasconcellos Secretary-treasurer Helen Kinner The Home Ec. girls have had a very pleasant year. One of the early events of the school year was the party given in their honor by the F.F.A. boys. In October, the girls entertained their mothers at their annual Mothers1’Tea. Just prior to the Christmas holi � days, the club sponsored its annual children’s party. Mr. Bain, who acted as Santa Claus, presented each lit- tle guest with a gift, a sack of candy and an orange.

The annual Christmas program was a success. Candle light and soft music from the Hammond organ, lent by Harold Mott, produced an effect long to be remembered. The combined community and High School choruses sang ar- rangements of favorite Christmas carols, and the High School chorus sang a group of numbers alone. This spring, a Spring Concert was presented. The girls wore pastel formals and the boys wore light suits. The stage was beautifully decorated. The outstanding feature of the program were the unique tableaux. BAND The band has gone modern this year. Everyone was pleased with the numbers played at the basketball games. Mr. Pursglove's Solo-Vox gave an added sparkle to the band and enabled them to play novelty arrangements of such numbers as: Hold That Tiger! , Street Sue , Tea for Two , and others. In the spring, they collaborated with the chorus to present a Spring Concert , which was well received by the oublic. CHORUS Row 1: M. Wilcox, 2. Ferguson, Vasconcellos, Kiss Anderson, A.

The setting was laid in a tourist camp which an old gypsy insisted was under the curse of the crystal ball. After many mysterious deaths the frightened tourists be- gin to believe the fortune teller. Finally the murderer was discovered. He had been attempting to perfect a ray machine to be used in war time. In his craze to succeed he experimented upon those in the camp, killing ruth- lessly. The play was full of suspense and Tom Ivey did an excellent piece of acting in his portrayal of the desperate murderer. The cast was as follows: Christina Chandler, Loren Hopwood, Alfred Pautsch, Lucille Vasconcellos, Betty Hall, Mary Van Eman, Don Kincaid, Wayne Canterbury, Bill Engel, Tom Ivey, Lois Johnson, Helen Reinders, Mary King, Jim McKean, G-len Beal. AMERICA FIRST The Senior class play, America First , was pre- sented May 8. This timely play concerned a high school boy, Lee Holmes, who became involved in a plot to undermine the morale of American youth. Ola and Franz Kring, under guise of conducting a dancing school, were carrying on subversive activities. They borrowed Lee's grocery truck to steal munitions from a train guarded by Lee's uncle, an F. B. I. man. They also stole the plans for a new type airplane invented by Owen Blake, Fiance of Dorothy Holmes. Evidence seemed to point to Lee, and how he, with the help of his mother and the rest of the family, finally cleared his name and caught the leaders of the ring, comprised the rest of the story. The cast was as follows: Ruth Kincaid, May Jean Kopp, Virginia Claypool, Gloria Eckler, Winnie Eddy, Bob Krell, Gene Kenyon, Clyde Oliver, Don Hamrick, Dean Mitts, Harold Engel. The future Olympic champion. Smile pretty, now. A good try, Don. The Curse of the Crystal Ball cast: Seated: D. Kincaid, M. Van Eman, Hall, Vascon- cellos, King, Johnson, Reinders. Standing: W. Engel, Pautsch, Miss Anderson, Canterbury, Hopwood, Christina Chand- ler, Beal, McKean. Is there room for anymore? The giggling freshmen. Wait for me, Campbell. You tell 'em, Winnie.

Why stand there? HUMOR We wonder: If the school buses are good places for romancing? It seems that quite a few affairs have started and ended there. What Miss Game! would do if every girl dressed for gym on the same day? If Major Mitts had a good time News Years' eve? What the American history class would do if it didn't have a friendly argument every so often to liven it up? What Miss Spelbring would do if everyone came to Latin class with a perfect lesson? If the humor editor really knows what humor means? If Athens shouldn't start having boxing matches along with their basketball games? It seems that Duke Campbell gave a good exhibition at the Lanphier game. If Dean Mitts has found out what the government calls its official business year? Surely not a physi- cal year. Why Donald White doesn't start knitting for the Red Cross? He was sure making the needles click one morning on the bus. Where Kenneth Cantrall keeps his diary? It couldn't be in his history book could it? Where Mitts learned all those poems he was recit- ing on the bus the other night? Take a tip! Don't get him started when you are in a hurry. If Norman Wiseman was puzzled or frightened when Mr. Braeuninger suddenly took a flash picture of him?

Then she super- vised the hanging of a new Chandler (chandelier) which she had recently purchased. Kincaid, her chauffeur then brought her expensive Eckler automobile to the door and she went for a ride in the country. On the way she met the Sexton, a very Wiseman, with whom she talked for awhile. Out in the country there were many hills and Hol- lands in the road, and also many little Cla.yoools or chuck-holes. At one side of the road was a low Stone fence, and Brown and White cows were grazing In the pas- ture beyond. A little farther on she watched a little stream Eddy by in the bottom of a small Kenyon (canyon). As she was rushing back to Cantrall for an after- noon conference with her business clients, Wasilewski. Shlnnebargor. Estill. Hamrick. Tobies. Mitts. Krell and Kinner. a Kooo stopped them. Miss Vaughn impatiently paid the fee and hurried home. As they drove into the estate she noticed that her prized G-lasscock statue was was sitting at a precarious Engel and she instructed Kincaid to attend to it at once.
