'4 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS fi Of THE ATHENS COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL ATHENS, ILLINOIS i tt • t rr DEDICATION We, the senior class of A. C. H. S., wish to dedi- cate the 1943 edition of the Athenian to Tink Manis, our janitor. Not many people appreciate what he has done in his years of service here, but his task is not an easy one. He has to be at the high school early and late doing what he can to make school pleasant for us. We expect him to be everywhere and doing everything at our beck and call, but we often forgot to thank him,for his services, because we feel it is his job. So, to you, Tink, we hope in this way to show a small part of our appreciation for all you have done for us. Clarence “JinK lams FOREWARD The task of making this year's annual better than those of previous years is a search for new and differ- ent things. It is a difficult Job to find new ways of saying old things to make this Athenian more interest- ing. This is especially true since so many things have to be excluded because of the war. The staff has done its best, however, and we hope you will enjoy it and that it will bring back pleasant memories to you.

S. in the fall of '39 with an enrollment of thirty-nine students. We gained some new students as the years passed, but we also lost several of our classmates. With a roll of twenty-six, we are one of the smallest graduating classes in quite some time, but it is not quantity that counts; it is quality. Our freshman year passed quickly because high school was a new experience for us. In the fall, we and the sophomore class had a weiner roast that not many of us have forgotten. In the fall of '40, we came to school as upper- classmen, but we soon found out there were still others above us. Our Junior year proved to be more eventful. We gave the mystery, comedy, The Curse of the Crystal Ball , which was a great success. The high-light of our Junior year was the banquet at the Leland notel in Springfield. In the fall of '42, we returned to A. C.H. S. for our final year. We sponsored a momentous Hallowe en Carnival and a senior play, thereby, successfully fin- ancing our final year's activities. Now, we are about to launch, but where do we anchor?

The Editors 6262 South Campbell Ave Chicago, Illinois Siptemb:r 1, 1953 Dear Lois, Why didn’t you tell me before that you were in New York? Dick and I just returned from a trip there and could have visited you. I was very glad to find a letter from you waiting for me on my return. Your ambitions must have changed a lot because I never dreamed you'd be a copy girl on the New York Times. I simply must tell you of our wonderful second honeymoon 'trip through the states, made possible by cashing in our War Bonds. We started by going to the old home town, Athens. There are a few of the old gang there, but not many. Bob Wilcox Just closed a deal with Harve Wilson and is now the proud owner of the Wilson Mfg. Co.- His and Midge's little blonde girl is sure a spitfire, but very cute. Mary Ellen Drake is now living on a farm near Elkhart. They have four charming boys. From Athens, we journeyed west toward the coast. As we were going through Denver, we stopped to get our little girl a heavier sweater. We had some difficulty over correct money change and they called the president of the firm to talk to us. Who should come stalking out but Marcus Tobias, president of the Tobias Tiny Tots Toggery, Inc. We were talking over old times and he told us that Stanley Mellinger is now a Certified Public Accountant and audits Marcus' books. During our stop in Reno, Nevada, we visited a divorce court, where Betty Hall was sueing Bill for a divorce so she could marry Admiral Don McKean We went to Hollywood from there We planned to celebrate our first evening there by going to the Pepso- dent show. Imagine my surprise to see jump and Jive Harry Cummins strike ut his band; and then, my second surprise was to see the nation's leading comedian, hope Kincaid, on that program. After several days there, we turned south and made our first stop deep in the heart of Texas . We wanted to have a little fun while in Dallas, so vie took in a circus. We decided to see a side show featuring the strong man. G-uess who it turned out to be? Cone other than our own John Devocelle! The headliner of the cir- cus was the clown, Buddy. By his antics we could tell it was none other than Athens’ Buddy Basso. We wanted to visit the Mardi Gras city of New Or- leans before turning north again. Of course, we had to visit a Spanish restaurant and who could be the cute little waitress but Lucille Vasconcellos, And can you imagine, she's still unmarried! As we passed through the tobacco region, we went to a tobacco auction in Greensboro, North Carolina, and there was Bill Engel making use of his powerful voice. You know the chant— At 22------------sold to the American Tobacco Company, As our time was getting short, we hurried on to New York, Before attending the Metropolitan Opera, I wanted to be fitted by an exclusive dress designer. After in- vestigating, I stopped at Mille Fele Shoppe, The name made me curious, and sure enough it was Mildred Frcligh in person. After my fitting, I was prepared to attend the opera. The music was superb, especially the duo by the stars of the performance, Christina Chandler and Alfy Pautsch, Afterwards, I went backstage to compliment the two on their fine work and there was Dorothy Hath, She is now Christina's personal maid. While visiting West Point, vie ran on to our old classmate, General McKean. He is really doing a fine piece of work there as an instructor, On our return trip, we stopped at the nation's cap- ital, We took a cab to the White House, Just as I was stepping from the cab, I tripped and fell, hurting my ankle, (I've never gotten over being clumsy,) The cab driver rushed me to the nearest ..doctor—a woman doctor, by the name of Lucille Smith, It was a coincidence that I should run on to our old classmate in such a way, wasn’t it? Finally, after having my ankle bandaged, we went on to the White House. After presenting our letter of introduction to the doorman, we were allowed to enter. While showing us through the building, the guide introduced us to the head janitor, Alvin Csmt bell, and his assistant, Wayne Canterbury. Of course, we had to talk over old times, then we went on to the House of Representatives. We were lucky enough to get to attend a session. We were especially interested in this because the Speaker of the House was my old classmate, John Brown. Going west towards home, we stopped at a small town drugstore to get a bromo-seltzer for my headache. Standing behind the counter, Jerking sodas, was John Downey. We stopped in Indiana long enough to see the campus of Notre Dame. We were looking through the faculty list for the coming season and ran across tne name of Honry Sheppard, coach. It's amazing how much one can change in ten years, isn't it? The rest of our trip was rather dull turning home to Chicago, we read in the Merrill Hurt was the English professor . After re- paper that at the Univer- sity of Chicago. I guess that about ends our trip, but maybe you would like to know what we've been doing. As you prob- ably know, Dick owns the Woods Transfer Company here in Chicago and he is kept busy with his work. Well, I must close now because it is time £o get dinner. If you know anything more about the old gang, be sure to let me know. Sincerely, SENIOR SNAPS 1. A General's pose. 2. Senior basketball boys. 3. Going somewhere, Monkey? 4. Taste good, Betty? 5.

S. band, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Basso, has completed another successful year. The band was rather small at the beginning of the year but everyone participated with great enthusiasm. Private instructions were given by Mr. Basso and as the year went by the band increased in size. The band played at all basketball games and played a short concert preceding the annual Christmas program. Due to gas rationing this year, it was impossible for anyone to participate in contests. LIBRARY The library is one of our vital needs and without librarians to take care of it, where would we be? They certainly work hard all year and deserve a lot of credit. This year even the boys helped out and they're to be congratulated. Many new books have been added to the library this year to better it and to help the students find suppli- mentary material needed for their studies. STUDENT COUNCIL Standing' G.
