JJ mf H OGOJ History LINDA MA DDOX In September of 1956 our class of 95 students entered Athens High School for the first time. At first we were rather lost in all the confusion but soon Mr. Newman as- signed us to the homerooms of Mr. A. M. Jackson, Miss Nancy Martin, and Mrs. Hazel Ruf, who were to be our sponsors for the year, After working out our schedules a-nd be- coming accustomed to our routines, we elected our class officers. They were: Roger Whitt, presidentg Brenda Sutton, vice-presidentg Margaret Earl Bradford, secretary-treas- urerg and Edria Ann Shelton, reporter. Malinda Bailey was chosen class beauty, Members of our class took part in school activities by joining various clubs and or- ganizations. Our cheerleader was Jane Ellen Bryan. Majorettes from our class were Lynn Christopher, Beth Bailey, Sue Brackeen, Edria Ann Shelton, Barbara Greenhaw, Rosanna Black, and head majorette Eloise Cooper, We were proud of Johnny Todd and Terry Daniel, who lettered in football. Lynette Allen was reporter for the Science Club, We were represented on the Scan-It Staff by Sylvia Black, Terry Daniel, Lynette Allen, and Dick McGrew, At Christmas, with the help of our sponsors and officers, we planned and gave a class Christmas party. After passing through a rather uneventful second semester, we ended the year with a picnic at Hatfield Lake. After our summer vacation, we returned-in September to begin our junior year. We had several new classmates who had transferred from other schools. These were Jo Cook, Beth Gregg, Brenda Lewis, Billy Mitchell, Ann Wallace, and Joan Coblentz, We were told by our sponsors, Mrs. Margaret Adams, Miss Nancy Martin, and Miss Geraldine Whitt, that this would be a year of very hard work, By making our calendar drive and by having the concessions and selling corsages at the football games, we were to raise enough money to give the seniors a banquet in the spring and to put out the Aquila in our senior year. Having a large class of 90 members, we were confident that we would be able to do our work well, We began by electing class officers, who were: Mike Bradley, presidentg Roger Whitt, vice -presidentg Nancy Leopard, secretary, and Carolyn Kubilis, treasurer. Rebecca lsom was class beauty, With the help of our spon- sors and officers our money -making campaigns were successful, although we were slight- ly hindered by a rainy football season. Several of our football and basketball players lettered for the first time. They were Marvin Young, Jerry Schrimsher, Jerry Scott, Roger Whitt, Harry Neal Wakham, Allen Orr, and Bucky Patton. Jane Ellen Bryan lettered as cheerleader. Junior F,H,A, offi- cers were Peggy Flanagan, reporter, and Sylvia Black, historian. Juniors who were D,O, Club officers were Douglas Griffin, vice -president, and Jerry Lon, treasurer. Soon after we returned from two weeks of Christmas vacation, we selected and or- dered our class rings and began making plans for our Junior-Senior Banquet-Prom. We selected the theme of 'Oriental Gardens' and set the date for it for April 24. For weeks we worked ordering and collecting materials and making plans to carry out our theme, Two days before the big night, we began decorating the gym. There was so much to do it seemed we would never finish, but through the excellent co-operation of the entire class with the sponsors and officers, we accomplished our purpose, On the appointed night, with the seniors, who were our guest, we entered the tea house of the garden. Just outside the tea house girls dressed in bright kimonos served us Chinese tea from a wishing well. Then over the bridge across the stream we entered the gym which had been transformed into a beautiful Oriental Garden, where the blossoming cherry trees were hung with colorful Japanese lanterns, Here we dined and danced to our hearts' content. After the excitement of the banquet, we anxiously awaited the arrival of our class rings. Finally, on the day before school was out, they arrived. So ended our Junior year, In the fall we returned to Athens High as dignified seniors, with 87 members in our class. Again we had gained some new classmates, who were Nancy McGee, Pat Neill, John Oscar Pepper, and Jerry Ushery. Everything seemed quite strange because instead of the old building to which we had become accustomed during the past two years, we had a lovely new building in which to complete our high school careers. Aft- er being assigned to the homerooms of our sponsors, Mr. J. D. Clanton, Miss Nancy Martin, and Miss Geraldine Whitt, we elected our class officers, They were: Mike Bradley, presidentg Jerry Scott, vice -president: Patsy Wyatt, secretary: and Carolyn Kubilis, treasurer, Pat Neill was chosen as class beauty. Jane Ellen Bryan was head cheerleader and the other senior cheerleaders were Brenda Lewis and Joye Smith, John- ny Todd and Malinda Bailey were elected Mr. and Miss Athens High School, Peggy Flanagan and Mike Bradley were co-editors of the Scan-It. Several Travel Club officers were held by seniors. These were Malinda Bailey, presidentg Lynette Allen, vice -presi- dentg Rosanna Black, secretary: and Edria Ann Shelton, treasurer, Frances Chambers was publicity chairman. Senior officers of the National Honor Society were: Mike Bradley, president: Roger Whitt, vice-president: Bonita Holt, secretary, Clayton Whitt, treasurerg and Peggy Flanagan, scrapbook custodian, Nancy Leopard was F,H,A, presi- dentg Gloria Andrews, historian, Judy Collier, treasurerg and Julia Greene, song leader. Ball players who lettered for the first time were Johnny Russell, Herby Greenhaw, Dil- lard Feigley, Macon Brock, Ronald Thomas, Jimmy Ray, Wendell Johnson, Morris Bow- ers, Gene Kilpatrick, and Marshall Pepper. Joye Smith and Brenda Lewis lettered as cheerleaders. Senior 'A ' Club officers were: Johnny Todd, president, Harry Neal Wak- ham, vice -president: and Jane Ellen Bryan, secretary-treasurer, 13.0, Club offices held by seniors were Jerry Long, vice-presidentg David Holden, secretaryg and Kenneth Smith, treasurer. The year was filled with work and preparation for graduation, Much time was spent in compiling the annual. We elected Who's Who, selected and ordered invitations and thank you cards, ordered caps and gowns, diplomas, practiced and gave a class play, and practiced for Class Day, Commencement, and Graduation exercises. We especially enjoyed the last six weeks, with Sneak Day and senior privileges. Yes, our years atA. H. S. have been filled with many moments to remember. We feel that we have been of some value to the school. We have given football and bas- ketball boys, band members majorettes, cheerleaders, and members and officers of all the clubs, We shall never forget the wonderful times we have enjoyed and the oppor- tunities which have been offered us by Mr. Newman, our sponsors, and the entire faculty We hope that those of you who will follow in our footsteps will remember us as we will remember you by these words from our Alma Mater: High school days are swiftly passing: Soon our race is rung While we live we'll ever cherish Friendships here begun. Prophecy PEGGY FLA NA GA N For the first time in 20 years the class of 1959 at Athens High is having a reunion. It's been a long time since I've seen some of my friends, but I've followed their careers in the newspaper published by Dick McGrew. Although his slogan is No news is good news, his paper has a wide circulation. Mel- ton Allaway and Jerry Long are special postmen for delivering the paper to subscribers in Siberia and Turkey. The other day I read an article about an atomic -powered baby rattler designed by Marvin Young and manufactured by Marshall Peper and Billy Mitchell, owners of the largest toy factory in Athens, I understand that-the geometry professor at Auburn, John Johnson, is teaching a new theorem. This theorem is the result of one of John's A,H,S, classmates, Betty Bland, making the startling discovery that two perpendicular lines form half a square. Dr. Emory Duren, the nation's finest veterinarian, is now a hero. He saved the life of Puffo, the pink poodle of the Hollywood Queen, Pat Neill. The dog had a fobia of Pink Poodle Eaters. Joe Bob Tennison has a thriving aif-lift service in the Tennessee Valley. Most of his business comes from transporting Doris Jean Loggins and Jane Darmer to the homes of Mary Jane Mitchell and Brenda Young to baby sit, These girls are constanly going with Martha Easter and Sue Murrah to Nashville to hear Gene Paul Ferrell and Roger Whitt play at the Grand Ole Opry. Recently I read an advertisement for a new chewing gum invented by Sharon Fogg and Jane Ellen Bryan. This gum is especially designed to be chewed during class to make one think better. It was exciting to watch the World Series last week on television. Wendell Johnson pitched three no-hitters for the New York Yankees, His manager, Gene Kilpatrick, better known as Casey Kil was proud of the team for winning the pennant for the tenth straight year. I'm eager to see Jo Cook at the reunion tonight. I know she will be wearing that new style designed by Sylvia Black called the Bag. Cora Ann Abernathy will probably be wearing one of these new cre- ations too. I do hope Don Peck and his orchestra play tonight. l'd like to hear the song Don plays called I Promised You the Moon, but the Russians Already Had It, I hear it made a hit in Cape Canaveral, Florida, I wonder if Judy McGill, who is football coach at L,S,U, , will be able to get away long enough to attend this reunion? She told me that since many of the former Golden Eagles, Harry Neal Wakham, Johnny Todd, and Jerry Scott, are members of her team, Judy's favorite signal to call is her own tele- hone number, Rosanna Black has just redecorated the White House. She did her best to please the First Lady, Ma- linda Bailey. There were many complaints from others of the cost of this project. Democratic leaders, Maurice Carwile and Clayton Whitt, told Congress that building a swimming pool in each of the bath- rooms was a waste of the taxpayers' money. Judy Collier and Gloria Andrews are selling a new type light bulb, Patsy Wyatt, who invented the glow-in-the -dark deal calls it a 100 Wyatt Bulb, John Oscar Pepper sells about 150 of these bulbs a day in his light bulb store, Now that's a bright way to do business! ' The King of England has hired Brenda Lewis to make all his subjects happy. She had as her first duty to make faces at the Buckingham Palace Guards. When these guards didn't laugh, she hired Arthur Ray Hanson for an assistant, All he had to do was ask a question and they rolled in laughter, John Lee Sons, Johnny Pack, Pat Bruce, and Kenneth Smith have just joined the Army. They were disappointed when they found out that the gun the sergeant gave them was to be used for purposes other than hunting. One of them complained about walking so much and not going anywhere any of the time. When I was at the post office last week mailing a letter to Frances Chambers, who is the ambassador to Peru, I saw Johnny Russell and Herby Greenhaw standing there with their tongues hanging out. They are employees of the Federal Government having as their duty licking all the postage stamps and stickers sold at the local post office, Gene Black is now a world -famous billiard player. With all the rules and methods he' knows, he's come back at Athens High to teach a seventh period pool class, Being loyal to his school, he and his assistant, Douglas Griffin, have changed the felt on all the tables from green to black and gold. Margaret Earl Bradford and Ioye Smith are now a special research team for the tobacco industry. They count the millions of tiny filters in cigarettes to prevent anyone getting short-filtered, An outstanding event at our reunion will be an address by the class by the class president, Mike Bradley. He is now recognized as a great author by his thriller about the Civil War called HE WAS A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER, BUT HE WORE A UNION SUIT. Rebecca Isom, librarian in the Library of Congress, reported that last year over a million people checked out this book. To top this, most of them were Yankees! Carolyn Kubilis is now the dental assistant for Dr, Macon Brock. Dr, Brock is trusted by all his patients because he has a sign hanging in his office reading, I will pull the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth. Lynne Christopher may currently be seen in VOGUE wearing the new outfits designed by Margaret Black and exclusively made by Linda Maddox. This trio is among the highest paid women of America, The men pay them to stop making those concealing fashions popular, Bucky Patton has become the first millionaire of the class. He has invented an economical, easily made boat, This boat is operated by simply attaching a 510. 98 Mixmaster to a 32, 00 bathtub to make this inexpensive runabout. Bob Patterson, his sales manager, reports that the only complaint the com- pany gets is that an extension cord for the boat costs 81200, Joan Coblenz, a prominent nurse, has just suggested a new national week to observe - Let's Catch Bubonic Plague Week, She states that due to all the wonder drugs discovered by Doctor Jimmy Ray, nobody is sick anymore. The hair styles created by the famous Claudine Leonard are really the rage, 1 saw Nancy McGee with a new cut called the bird dog and Linda Rogers with one called the rocket blown. Joyce Mob- ley, manicurist at Claudine's Salon, has designed a stripped nail polish for square nails. Jerry Schrimsher finally made Hollywood! Beth Bailey, his press agent, just notified the public that Jerry is now working as Trigger's stand in. David Holden, principal of Athens Elementary School, told me that Beth Gregg and Nancy Leopard require all of their third grade pupils to read the funny paper, Ronald Thomas is their favorite cartoon- ist, with his strip called Ronald Duck. Patsy Dobbs will be sailing soon for Africa. She has just been appointed ambassador to the pygmies, She is taking along Bonita Holt so the little people can see how sweet the Americans are, Eloise Cooper now directs an all -girl review called the Hula -Oops. They have brought back that swing hoop fad that was so popular in 1958, Watching the Hit Parade, I was delighted to see that Lynette Allen and Julia Green have a song on the top ten, Lynette's song, This Is Gonna Be a Stag and l Wanta Be a Cowboy's Horse by Julia are tying for first place. Morris Bowers has finally developed a new fuel for his drag rod. When he injects this gas-a -go in his tank, he really goes - upward. Two of the 1959 graduates are employed by Athens High School in the music department. Thomas Parson is now directing the A,H,S, multimillion dollar band. Remembering how weary he used to be- come when all parades were on foot, he has developed a new type drill in which the band rides in tiny cars. Ann Wallace is directing the chorus at our alma mater. Her group recently won an award for singing the loudest and the longest at the annual Alabama Sing-Down. Edria Ann Shelton, special secretary to Chief Justice Allen Orr, has issued ,the statement that the Supreme Court has passed a new ruling, She declined to state the nature of the ruling, but she did say that it concerned an old issue, schools. I saw Dillard Feigley, the town's leading mortician, the other day. When I asked him how his busi- ness was he exclaimed, Dead! Say, I guess everyone is going to think I'm dead or something if I don't hurry and get dressed for that reunion! In The Speech ofthe Pessimist JOHNNY TODD As all of you know, I have been selected as Class Grumbler. I can't. think of any better way to begin my speech than to tell you how our class, the poor unfortunate sen- iors of 1959, have been treated. The class of '59 is one of the largest classes ever to graduate from A,H,S, Now I really don't like large classes, because in a large class it is hard to become closely ac- quainted with all your classmates. A small class has an advantage because everyone gets to know everyone else. As Sophomores we entered high school with much enthusiasm. We tried not to let the old building with its screeching floors and dark halls get us down. The hallways were so dark that we needed to carry a torch around with us. And that study hall floor! ! ! It's a miracle that Mrs. Nelson, whose room was directly below, doesn't have gray hair from worrying about the whole study hall falling through on her and her classes. Now we are having classes in the new Junior High School with its new class rooms, but it surely is hard for us to obey all the new rules the teachers have set up for us. We are so busy taking care of the building that we don't have any time to enjoy it. There is something else I would like to say while I have the chance. Why should we have to learn those Chronological Periods of Shakespeare? They will never do us any good. As if this wasn't enough, we had to learn from Macbeth all about our lives being like brief candles. For three years all we have heard has been lessons, lessons, and more lessons. When and if I ever get out of here, I am going to find a place where there is some peace and quiet. Speaking of peace and quiet, that is a very rare thing around A,H,S, If someone doesn't have the P,A, system on thumping on it or blowing in it, Mr. Clanton has some of his long -hair music on the record player. As Juniors making money for the Annual and the Junior -Senior Prom, we were doomed. We had rainy weather for every football game. As if this were not enough, at one game we burned up fourteen dozen hot dogs. And once, when a game was post- poned, we completely lost more than one hundred dozen hot dogs from spoilage. Also during our Junior year the gym floor was refinished. This put a stop to all those great Travel Club dances, because shoes would scratch the floor, and who wants to go to a dance barefooted! This situation even threatened our Banquet-Prom. Speaking or rain and banquets, the weather was certainly against us on the night of our Junior-Senior Prom, After struggling to make enough money to put it on, we had a very bad storm the night of it and we all had to go home at the ridiculously early hour of 10:30, All these unfortunate things have been happening ever since we entered this school. The teachers said our situation would change when we became seniors. And how! We are supposed to be respected by the underclassmen but we are so outnumbered by fresh- men alone that it's a struggle to walk down the hall, much less receive any respect. The only time anyone has heard the seniors' name mentioned this year, it has been to tell us to bring money for pictures, caps and gowns, or something else. By the time I pay for all these I probably can't afford a diplomag and that I have struggled for all these years. Yes, taking all things into consideration the life of the Class of 1959 has been full of hardships and trouble at A,H,S, We are finishing high school large in number, but low in spirit. But let me tell you the truth: we have loved every minute of our high school years, especially the privilege of grumbling. The Speech ofthe Optimist JOAN COBLENTZ At last we have made the long climb upward to become seniors. For most of us there have been times when it seemed as though this final year of many privileges would never arrive. Now that it is here, the weeks and days are passing almost too rapidly. We are indeed a fortunate group, being the first senior class to attend school in the new building, and being only the second class to have graduation exercises in the new auditorium. Although this building is later to be the Jun- ior High School, we are happy to attend here this year. The Grumbler speaks of the dark halls of the old building. Ah, but we have no such worries in this new building! The halls are much wider and suf- ficient lighting is provided by the modern lighting system we now have. Another complaint of the Grumbler is that we have to spend too much time taking care of the building, Certainly we have rules to abide by in order to take care of it, of course we would not deliberately damage it, but be- cause of little things the building would soon show signs of wear were we not sometimes cautioned to be careful. However, I think we, the students, have kept the building in good condition this year - not because we had to, but be- cause we wanted to. The new P,A, systym is wonderful because it provides such an effective method of communication throughout the building, And, quite the opposite of the Grumbler's idea, the music which we occasionally hear is good for the morale of the students and is thoroughly enjoyed by many who appreciate real music. Along with our new school, we are very happy to have several new teach- ers, among whom is one of our senior class sponsors, Mr. J. D. Clanton. We gratefully express our appreciation to Mr. Clanton, and to our other sponsors, Miss Nancy Martin and Miss Geraldine Whitt, as well as the entire faculty, who have helped us so much in making our high school years very happy and prosperous ones. Our Grumbler mentioned that there is not enough peace and quiet at A,H,S. One of the things which our school has always been proud of is the way in which we support all our clubs, organizations, and activities. Think how dull it would be without all our lively pep rallies, ballgames, and club meetings. As for the amount of work we have to do on our studies, let's not forget that the major purpose of going to school is to get an education, Another point about which the Grumbler has complained is our large class and all the unfortunate situations which arose during our Junior year. However, with so many class members we were able to do more than a smaller class might have done. Also, it is my' opinion that all the bad luck we have had has only served to bring us closer together and to challenge us to work harder and with more co-operation and determination on our projects. Yes, our school days are almost over, and soon will be just wonderful memories. Certainly our school years have been filled with ups and downsL ' defeats and victories, successes and disappointments. But, the good far out- weighs the bad and it is the fact that we have SHARED our joys and sorrows that has created the memories which we will take with us always - memories of our school years as the best years of our lives. fl as iii.

Allen Orr Witnesses: Class Lawyer Junior Class President David Wilson Sophomore Class President David Greene Freshman Class President David Tharpe Class Poem MARGARET BLACK FOI Years we've thought of this last day When each would go his separate way. And now as we prepare to part, We feel a sadness in our heart, We think of joys our hearts have foundg of friendships old, so tightly bound Within our hearts that none could sever - These shall be our mem 'ries ever. Now to our parents we extend Our heart-felt love without an end For life's foundation they did give And taught us e'er with God to live. They've taught us all our lives to see That honor, grace, and loyalty Will aid us thro' the years to find Our place in life with all mankind. With quiet dignity and trust The Principal of our school has thrust The torch of knowledge toward each one To light our paths 'til life is done, The faithful Teachers we would praise For selfless guidance through these daysg Our thanks to them for truth and light - For teaching us true wisdom 's might, Though time and age destroyed the walls Remain fond memories of old halls, Reminding us of goals begun And of the vic 'tries there we won, Now a bright, new emblem stands To meet our minds' desires, demands - To share fulfillment of a goal Set years ago upon this knoll. The oak tree we our secrets told. Our heartfelt dreams we did unfold, With boughs outspread protectingly, It heard us shape our destiny. The old oak tree shall ever be To us symbolic of growth and libertyg Our A,H,S, by it shall stand A beacon of knowledge to every man. MOST DIGNIFIED Frances Chambers and Emory Duren What's dignity!
