Picture the word country. 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.

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.

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
