Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1952 volume:

DEDICATION The Great Spirit is a guiding light to the Warriors of the A.C.H.S. tepee just as it was to the Warriors of old. Because their interest, devotion, and guidance have inspired us to the higher things of life, and because they have provided us with all the necessities of living so that we might obtain our education, we dedicatewith deepest love and esteem, the 1951-1952 edition of the Athenian to the Great Spirit, our parents. Big Chiefs Big Chief, Second Chief, and his Scribe Keep the records of this big tribe. Big Chief Breauninger is kept very busy as superintendent of Unib District 213. He has 598 Warriors in his entire camp. 434 of these are from our four papoose camps, and the remaining 164achieve their knowledge from our own tepee (ACHS). Mr. McWilliams, his assistant, takes charge of the tepee when the Big Chief is absent. He keeps the attendance record and teaches biology and band. Phyllis Pittman found herselfa bigger chief and resigned her position at Athens High to become Mrs. Robert Clemens. Betty Wilcox, who replaced her in November, is now the secretary of the Unit District. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Braeuninger, Phyllis Pittman, Mr. McWilliams.

We walked around in a daze for a few moons getting used to teachers, schedules, and regulations. As our treasury was low (zero dollars and zero cents, to be exact) we started a campaign to make money. We sold Christmas holly, balIpoint pens, and held a magazine drive. With our large membership, the class enthusiasm, and the help of Mr. Freemen, our advisor, we were able to obtain money for our treasury, hold a class party, and start on our way to becoming full-fledged warriors. We returned in the fall of '49, not as silly sophomores, but as serious sophomores. We got into everything including biology, basketball, and '’Detention. We sold basketball schedules, pennants. Warrior licence plates, and had a magazine drive. In the spring we enjoyed a weiner roast, which brought to a climax a wonderful sophomore year. For two years we had wai ted for this moment: we were now upperclassmen. We took part in many activities. Wesold popcorn and ice cream at home basketball games; two juniors edited the Athenian Sun; and a party was held in the gym. In the spring we gave twoone-act plays, Cornin'Round the Mountain and Spring Formal and put our funds to good use by giving the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Washington Park Pavilion. Now came our last but most remembered year at ACHS. We sold cokes and hotdogs at games. Activities went by in a whirl, the spaghetti supper, the senior plays, senior skip day, the junior-senior banquet, and at last graduation. Of course a good deal of our time was spent in editing the annual. We became full-fledged Warriors and there was no doubt in our minds that we had had a wonderful four years ACHS. 17 We, the senior class of 1952, do bequeath and bequit, leave, give away, and get rid of the following possessions.

Johnny and Louise were talking about it and went along. Their jet plane wasrather crowded with the children of both families. They had seen a lot of each other these past ten years because they were pretty close neighbors. Joan lives in Elkhart, and Louise lives just a few miles away. It seems the class '52 had migrated westward after graduation. After ten years, they decided it was time to see each other again I As Arizona is just sixty seconds from Elkhart, they arrived in sixty seconds. The building that looked most like a hotel was named Muskhogen. Chief Bryant answered the knock. He and his squaw Pat Watts were running a home for retired Warriors combined with the hotel. Of course Pat wasn't in. She was living up to her title, Flying Farmerette. After unpacking their bags, they found a restaurant, The Montezuma. A red-headed Warrior was smoking a pipe in a corner and adding long columns on a piece of birchbark. He looked up and greeted them. It was Charles Boone. Naturally, they had to have quite a powwow about old times. His children were helping wait on tables. The tiling that caught their attention for evening entertainment was a sign Indianer Racetrack -Proprietors, Beverly and Don Smith. They went to the warmup grounds amid all the clatter and noise. A mechanic popped his head up from underneath a Hot Rod and waved a greeting. It was John Eden under all the grease. Bev and Smitty gave them seats in their special grandstand. It was an exciting race. The winner was red-headed Donna Ingram! She was given a string of wampum by her boyfriend. They hated to leave, but all the noise and mud made them feel like eating. They climbed in a taxi driven by Dottie Ingold. She and Bubbins are running the InNarko Taxi Service. Her mother baby sits for her. They caught up on a lot of the latest. She advised them to go to the Abnake Night Club. It is run by Larry Wasilewski. He usually has a pretty good floorshow.He is living up to his ambition of being a bigamist. His wives, Joyce Cantrall and Mary Ann Freeman, are helping make the night club a success. The main attractions of the evening were the Skitte-hagan Dance by Hopi Powell and Yaqui Yoakum. Accompanying them were Punkin Young and Lee Stott. Also, one of the attractions was a solo, Indian Love Call, by Mona Mattingly. She is married to the band leader. Hop (Norma) and Yaqui (June) are living happily together in a double lodge. It is rather crowded with all their children, but they have a good time. Punkin has a little Jack-O-Lantern (son). Lee is raising his own band and quite a lot of noise with his family. The taxi driver was patiently waiting for them. They returned to their lodge in the wee hours of the morning. Rising early, in spite of their late evening, they breakfasted and were soon on their way to the new hos- Prophecy pital. The desk nurse was Donna Wilcoxon. She is married to Dr. Tom. We hear he’s a good Dr. We were shown around by Barbara Adams. She gave up Chevies for the career in white. Of course, horses still have first place in her heart. After their hospital tour, they decided to visit the school. They interrupted class, and Lillie Canterbury was rather disgusted with them, but we don’t think she minded too much. They were surprised to find Wilbur Messersmith in the Principal's office. He and Lillie went to college together and got their master in English. Back at Muskhogen, they asked the Chief the best place to get some laundry done. He said, Washoan. They found it only a few blocks from the hotel. The girl at the desk couldn’t give them the information they wanted. The managers appeared on the scene. Corrine Wells and Frances Nea villi It didn’t take long for them to straighten things out. Corrine marriedthat Middletown farmer. She keeps pretty busy trying to raise them Cheaper by the Dozen, and helping out at the laundry. Frances has chargeof most of the laundry, as her husband is employed there, too. They lunched at the Montezuma again and went from there to do a little shopping. The Shawnee Dress Shoppe was the first stopping place. Frances Rogers was right on the job. Phyllis Myers designs the best in Indian frocks, and Frances sells them. Their husbands go: roped into the job of sewing the dresses. They get along fine. While sightseeing, they came upon a huge used-jet lot. Mary Jo and Bud are selling planes and raising little Good-sons as a sideline. They asked what brand was topmost on the list of jets. Fords naturally. They had an invitation out to supper that evening. Bob Chastain took them out toa ranch.Mary Ann Noonan and DavePrimm were to be the hosts. Bob runs a butcher shop in connection witli Dave's sheep ranch. Mary Ann just raises a family. Dot and Red are trying to revive the old Indian Mission, and are doing a pretty good job. After supper at the ranch, they attended church there. The children are junior revivers. They revive you all right! The two-day journey soon came to a close. They believed it to be a success, though, as they saw a 11 their old gang. They arrived home, talked it over, and decided to return. Now they are all living happily ever after I 19 Corrine Wei Is hAory Ann oonoo Phyllis Myers Papooses Barbara Adams Charles Boone Louise Pittman __________I Mary Ann Freeman Pat Watts Mona Mattingly Larry Wasilewski Wilbur Messersmith Lillie Canterbury Walter Bryant Donna Beverly Showalter Joyce Contrail Donna Ingram Frances Rogers ROW I: Music, Music, Music, Doin’ What Comes Naturally, Whistle While You Work.

There are 43 in number with Delores KikendalI and Frances Dixon being added to the roll. They were named the friendly freshmen last year and this year they can well be called the friendly sophomores. This class competed with the freshmen and juniors in selling magazines. Even though they were beaten, they netted a sizable profit. Everywhere you looked you saw Kenny Critcheloe, the business manager, or Leann Grant, the captain, working with magazine sales. Three war-whoops for David Young, the individual high salesman for the sophomore class and for the school. David sold over $50 worth of magazines. FRONT ROW: Ronald Robison.

This party was a result of their magazine drive. The class was divided into two teams with a captain, Sharon Jackson and Margery Young, for each team.

The cheerleaders were Carolyn Dixon and Beverly Wise. Not only have the freshmen shown a lot of interest in school activities, but they have also been enthusiastic in their school work, as shown by the number who captured their positions on the honor roll. From a group of warriors who know that the battle is about, here's hoping you come out with as few battle scars as we did. 33 l,o n o 0,0.0 o w ROW I So Dear to My Heart1 Carefree ROW 2 The Lemon Drop Kid' The Third Man ROW 3 I'll Get By .

The student council has had a successful year and appreciates the co-operation of the students and teachers. 38 Library Where's 'Sitting Bull'? I can't find it. This is just one of the many questions asked the 15 librarians and Mrs. Hill, the supervisor who takes care of the library at A.C.H.S, The library, which is located in the back of the study hall, contains 500 books. There are books of all kinds: love, adventure, travel, biography, and reference books. If you're hunting for a book, the library is where you will find it. This year there were 50 new books added, including 30 dictionaries. At the beginning of the year the library was rearranged according to the Dewey Decimal System.

Future Homemakers of America The F.H.A. squaws have been very active this year inside and outside the A.C.H.S. tepee. An activity period is held once a month directed by the following officers. Donna Wilcoxon...................President Mary Sandidge....................Treasurer Louise Pittman .... Vice-President Mrs. Eldridge.................... Sponsor Judy Gard........................Secretary Mrs. Becker.................Chapter Mother Wampum for the club has been secured by the sale of potato chips, a carnival, a Sock Hop, and the frolicsome fun but wearisome work of Hobo Day. A pre-school Christmas party was held and also a Mother's Tea. In January came the candle light initiation and emblem service. Members attended the House of Delegates meeting in the fall and the rally at Tallula in the spring. F.H.A. week was observed Nov. 4 through 10. A publicity book was published so that others may know of the many projects the F.H.A. squaws were always Cooking Up for the good of their club and for the good of others. Future Farmers of America The 38 members of the FFA have been very busy this past year selling ice cream at noons, garden seeds in the spring, and entering contests.

The tom-tommers were outfitted in new green buckskins with white beaded trimming this year., thanks to their Squaw Mothers Club. They showed off their regalia by marching at several basketball games. The band entered the contest of all the big Warriors and did the best beating they could. Eleven Warriors entered solo contests and were coached by the Spirit of Music—Mr. Mac. We are very proud of our war drum beaters and tooters, for after all, they are the rhythm of this big tepee. 44 Band has debut of new uniforms at Christmas Assembly First Try On of Uniforms Louise sells a box of salt water taffy to help pay for her uniform Mr. Mac and Donna look over Band Booster calendars Mr. Mac in full dress uniform SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Byram, Advisor; Lovell Glasscock and Barbara DeSilva, Editors; Mrs. Hill, Advisor; SECOND ROW :Corrine Wells, Production; Joan O’Neal, Production; Joyce Cantrall, Production; Phyllis Myers, Art Editor; Jack Noonan, Agriculture; Beverly Showalter, Production; Donna Wilcoxon, Production; Carol Neibert, Subscription Ed.; Bill Winterbauer, Sports.

The Athenian Sun ” Staff The Athenian Sun crew of 1951-52 sailed theirbirchbark canoe down the sea of Knowledge in search of the Isle of Know, with Barbara DeSilva and Lovell Glasscock acting as Captains. Many products were brought back to theA.C.H.S. Tepee, including: interviews of different Warriors, editorials, news from other schools, feature articles, the latest jokes, and other news that take place in our big Tepee, A.C.H.S. 46 The Athenian” Staff The council of war (Athenian Staff) gathered around the campfire (Typing Room) to discuss the possibilities of defeating the approaching enemy (Deadline.) Armed only with copy sheets, typewriters, photo stickers, and creative minds, and war-painted with elbow grease, they made the attack. The battle (Nights of Working on Annual) was successful and their spoils of war (The 1951-52 Athenian ) were placed in the hands of dozens of other Warriors.
