You envision farms, cornfields, tractors, animals, rustic scenery and wildlife. You also envision Athens, located in central Illinois, twelve miles north of Springfield, the state capitol. A part of Menard County, Athens shares in a wealth of Abraham Lincoln heritage. Although the town can only boast a population of 1200, Athens Community Unit School District 213 includes 932 students. The school district covers 87 square miles of farmland, small communities, and subdivisions in both Menard and Sangamon counties. Although we are only minutes from a large metropolitan area, we still retain a rural atmosphere. a. Kelley Douglas, Susan Blauvelt and Kristie Bryant model the typical school attire and illustrate the comraderie that exists in a student body where everybody knows everybody, b. This lunchroom scene illustrates the friendly atmosphere which occurs in rural areas, c. Bill Carter tills the FFA farm plot located right behind the school. ALL WE WANT IS FAIR TREATMENT. When negotiations be- tween teachers and board stalled, the Athens Education Association declared an im- passe and vigorously tried to reopen talks and to reach a settlement. However, when a salary schedule was imposed, the teachers felt that the only option left open to them was to call for a strike vote. On Sept. 2, 1980, setting a prece- dent for all teachers, the Ath- ens Education Association voted to strike. After three days, with the assistance of mediators and vocal commu- nity support, the strike was settled and teachers and stu- dents could return to the business at hand. 6 '‘Photograph reprinted by permission from the State Journal-Register.

Students at AHS enjoy participating in volleyball, basketball, wrestling, softball, cross country, baseball, and track.

Spirit Week activities were dominated by the Juniors as they placed 1st overall in Hall decs, guy cheerleaders, pep rally, hush day, and sexy leg contest. 65 In this moment filled with excitement And feelings both happy and sad, Find silence in a passing moment To reflect on the times that you've had. Summer days and country nights, All of the memories shared Of days so simple made so special By friends who loved and cared. Remember all the hopes and wishes, The dreams that did come true. Reflect on the mistakes and the blessings And those who gave so much, Their friendship and their laughter — A feeling no other can touch! Remember we hold a song in our hearts For every one of you. We hope this Country Night will be special. Lots of love from the Class of '82.
