The Athens Chapter was organized in 1949. Prior to that time, there was a similar organization here known as the Homemaking Club. The Athens Chapter consists of sixty-one members, thirteen of which are officers: President, Delores Deckardg Vice President, Karen Wilcox, Secretary, Janet Letzg umm.

Any girl who has been enrolled in a homemaking class or is presently enrolled in one may be a member of F. H. A. To be initiated into the Athens Chapter, a girl must pass a test on the creed and purposes of the or- ganization. This year's activities include: Regular monthly meetings the second Wednesday of each month during activity period. A Thanksgiving basket to a deserving family, a group exchange of gifts at Christmas, sale of UNESCO stamps. The F. F. A. was founded in 1928 as a non-profit, non- political, self-supporting, youth organization designed to A 1 A.. or have its origin and root in a definite part of the school 1113: Allyn, curriculum--vocational agriculture. Membership in the 5 il?3,,gi?S-B F. F. A. is entirely voluntary. The only requirement is ggffgeii 5 gl that the student is enrolled in vocational agriculture. The jf' LOA F. F. A. is sub-divided into state associations which, in Q QPUZIQA, 8 ,h turn, are composed of local chapters, these being located 5' in high schools offering vocational agriculture. Since 1928, ' L' 3 the F. F. A. has expanded to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. 5 9 Similar organizations closely patterned after the F. F. A. 5cf'Q'fa..19 bQ are now found in several foreign countries. In Illinois ' 1. 0 3 O there are 512 schools presently offering vocational agri- culture. There are 33, 000 students taking agriculture in these schools, and 522 teachers are employed teaching these students. The Athens chapter currently consists of 37 members. Mr. H. E. Gardner is ad- visor, and the student officers are: John Elliott, Presidentg Jim Hurt, Vice-Presidentg Don Lynn, Secretary, George Muller, Treasurer, and Kenneth Bounds, Sentinel. Some events that will take place in the F. F. A. during the following year are: Grain show at Williamsville on November 19, Grain and Poultry Judging at Lincoln on Feb- ruary 18, Public Speaking Contest at Elkhart on April ll., F. F. A. Foundation Awards at Springfield on April 27, Dairy and Fat Stock Judging at Hartsburg on April 21, and the F. F. A. show at Springfield on August 20. 5 : 5 1 0 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: J.

Left, left, left, right, left. Hay foot, Straw foot and still they didn't understand. Yes, this is the Athens High School Band practicing for their performances of the year. The 57-piece band marched in the Horance Heidt Parade, the Columbus Day Parade, the Christmas Parade, the Fall Festival Parade, and the Normal Homecoming. Marching was a highlight for the band also at some of the home basketball games. At other games, the full band played, and at the games with the Springfield teams the Combo jazz band played many hot numbers. The ,ombo also played for the dance at the all-school Halloween party, and the full band played at the Unit Band Concert, the Christmas Concert, the Spring Concert, and the Abe Lincoln Festival at Crreenview. This year, the band had the loss of their praise-worthy band director, Mr. Mac, but the gain of a new hand director, Mr. John George, an ex-drum major and baritone player. Mr. Mac was honored at a fart-A well supper in August and Mr. George was honored with a gehacqiiaiii- ted supper in September. These were sponsored by the Band Boosters who also sponsored the Fall Festival. rf' x A MR. GEORGE CLARINETS: B. Calvert, E. Nance, D. Hannibal, M. Hunrikson, J. Meteer, N. Grant, L. Piurccall, L.

Now the band has put a quarter-round around the edge of the loft to prevent any such catastrophe again. Another improvement of the band loft was the remodeling of the storage room. This enabled the band to keep their instruments and music in a more orderly fashion. This year the band took 5 ensembles, 6 solos, and the full band to the contest. We hope you will agree that we've had a very active year. wg, Calvurt, J. Lutz, J. Jensen, N. Pittman, E. Wyatt. BARITONES: W. Baney, N. Wnods. TROMBONES: B. Ollcr, G. Kramer, D. Lindsey, D. Lynn.

This year there were 60 members in chorus directed by Mr. John George. The chorus took part in the Abe Lincoln Music Festival along with Forman, Petersburg, Oakford, and Greenview, at Greenview High School this year. The chorus also participated in the Christmas concert held on December l8. The girl's chorus entered the contest this year also. The Senior Ensemble closed the activities of the chorus on May 25 by singing at graduation. An added feature of the vocal department this year was the organization of a choir of students chosen from the chorus. 38 -vz' an l -. .dk ea .7 I . , ' l 4' Wanda Baney F A - ef Eg-,tg 1 'H FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: B.

So much interest among the student body was shown at the first meeting this year that 56 students became members. The following officers were elected: Theresa Muller, Presidentg Patty Seipel, Vice- Presidentg Mary Joyce Wasilewski, Secretary-Treasurer. These goals were set up for the Pep Club. Each member would attend as many games as possible. The members would wear green skirts and white blouses or sweaters at the games designated by the coach. Each member would be willing to raise money for the Athletic fund. Each member would show good sportsmanship, thus setting a good example for others to follow. In years to come it is hoped that the Pep Club will continue to follow these goals and add to them others which will help back up the cheerleaders in cheering the basketball teams on to victory.

Phyllis followed. Honor Night is an old established custom at Athens High School. As early as April 17, 1925, Athens honored her athletes on their last appearance on the floor. The celebration consisted of presentation of letters, fairies hunting for a pot of gold which was found by the Goddess of Athletics fyes, that's what the 1925 annual said!l presenting of a traveling case to the coach, singing of the loyalty song, exhibition of the trophies, presentation of carnations to the members of the G. A. A. , presentation of the squad tournament championship trophy, introduction of the new Athletic Board, and the presenta- tion of the deed to the new athletic field. Since this time we find that there have been many improvements made. In 19 36 the band played at the ceremonies and the senior girls were officially proclaimed attendants to the queen by the Student Council. In 1938 the queen had a very lavish throne as well as a very full program. She had tumblers, a ballet dance, rhythmic calisthenics, and an illuminated Statuary. The present ceremony is much simpler but still carries on the tradition of honoring senior letter- men and crowning an Honor Night queen. Bonnie and her attendants.
