We have W X ' faithfully climbed the steps of education, beginning at the very bottom, steadily climbing upward in our knowledge and ideals. The first step was painfully and slowly accomplished, the second more swiftly, the third, too fast, and now the very top has been attained. This lofty position, the culmination of childish ambition, the pinnacle of youth- ful dignity is given the name, Seniorhood. Senior, a word pleasing to the ear Cof an VIIIJ according to the dictionary, means more advanced in dignity, rank, or office-superior. Of course, this word fits our class, in fact is synonymous with the Class of '29, But to be or not to be -that is the question. On the very threshold of our life, on our entrance into the world, are we to be, to be more advanced in dignity, rank, or office-superior? Are we, now plunged into the kindergarten of experience, to retain our Seniorhood? Will we be superior to the average person, to the person narrowly living, ambitionless, and oblivious of opportunity? Will we keep our fondly-called dignity? Will we win a place of rank or high office? Will we in every way be superior? IIME, time, how it flieth! We English VIII's, once wretched freshmen, have been .XNx'x'x The spirit of our class says yes Our class will not forget its ideals, its ambitions, its hopes. It will forge ahead on various paths, striving to excel and succeeding. It will not be overcome in the rush of life-it will rise, as it always has. To the girls, looking forward to domestic felicity, we give this charge: Be true, also keep among thine other things, thy school-girl complexion, the heritage of thy school days without which we are told love from the opposite sex is improbable, nay impossible. To these, we advocate the use of a certain soap and the remembrance of their dignity. To those girls, anticipating glory in college life, who will be dashed at once to the depths of greenest freshmanhood, we say, Remember thy proud position at Atherton and keep thy lofty characteristics. To those entering business fields, Remember the days of thy youth and thy accomplishments and strive to equal them. If we could peer ahead for many years, we should see the Class of '29 still a-Senior Class! -Donie Marguerite Carmack, '29 thirty-one ATHERTQNN I ' ,, QQ 'lnmnmnmf ENGLISH VII ORGANIZATION q Jean Dawson, President Harriet Morris, Treasurer Verna Geisler, Vice-President Eloise Crutcher, Pianist Cecil Cooke, Secretary Martha Severance, Cheerleader Miss Sarah Litsey, Faculty Adviser thirty-two ATHERTO Q ELEANOR ADK1ssoN Witty, s w e e t, everybody's friend.

This supposition is founded on the same principle that makes a Freshman frightened, Wwe Sophomores overbearing, Juniors gravely above reproach, and Seniors happy with WX'X ' their high rank and dignity. All the evidence leading to the great climax is accurate enough, but Sherlock certainly misconstrued the hoary details when Seniors were pro- nounced dignified. We aren't trying to fool you, Freshmen! For the first time in the history of the world the true facts are about to be revealed. It isn't nice at all being a Senior, too much is expected of us. After three years of thoughtless bliss, we are told to look forward to the plank. ,Atherton is about to thrust us out into the cold, cold world to battle with the wolves. True, Atherton and the faculty tried to equip us for the great struggle. It is cer- tainly strange how very consistently the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors refuse to take advice. We Seniors cry for it. We envy you more than we can say, Freshmen. Imagine looking forward to an empty schedule with no kind teachers to block it outg no more vocal contests with L. G. H. S. at the Hockey games. Never again will the footlights shine on our Senior play-Nice, bright outlook on the world, is it not? i But we are merely anticipating our near future. Spring, our last spring at Atherton, affects us in this way. We are merely Sevens-now the secret is out. But there is only a flimsy vacation between playing at Grown-Up and being Grown-Up. Perhaps, we have time to achieve that dignity and ,happiness that we so sadly lack, but now we, as sevens, contend that those too-much-talked-of attributes are missing. Have we proven this fact? -Jean Morris, 'ZQM forty-two 4 Lf, M I a - li lil, ' 'ig 1.1 sf if ' 4, ff- -Lgf, Lrg: f, uv. 'fi ! l H ' 'swf 2 ' O ,A 1 tLA55.

Commencement tolls the knell of parting days We Seniors spent in Atherton's dear halls, And we must go upon our separate Ways Where beckoning to new fields the future calls. I , II. Now fade away the old familiar sights- The lunchroom filled with hungry, eager throngs- Long chapel programs that were our delights- And class days, loud with yells and glad with songs. III. Here in these walls we leave with many a sigh, Inside these doors thru which at last we pass, Sleeping in peace at last, forever lie Deeds, good and bad, of this departing class. IV. Eight-thirty bells that chime at early morn, And bells at three that peal when work is,o'er Ring out their message, joyous and forlorn, But summon us, the Seniors, nevermore. V. Can hockey call back heroes gone before, Dot Cate or Duddy to the gallant fights? What Senior Plays can summon back once more Anne Cooper's loveliness or Helen Knight's? forty-three E ' ATHERTON mum! 1-14 A 1 . VI. Full many a hockey star with dauntless breast The cohorts of Girls' High School has withstood In memory's vault our class has laid to rest The noble, brave, the beautiful, the good. VII. No more do we bemoan the candy bar, Or do we curse the green book in our heart- We are borne darkly, fearfully afar - With one last smile and bow we now depart. VIII. Let not the underclassmen mock our toil, As we at last withdraw into the shade, Or juniors mark with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals we have made. IX.

'29 I f arty-six .443xT'I-IE.I2,TON ' rophecgm June 23, 1961 Third Time Under CRecounted from New York Times by the Associated Pressj Misses Douschka Sweets and Esther Bossung of Louisville, Kentucky, on one of their weekly trips across the ocean, escaped from a burning plane in a parachute. They landed in the ocean in sight of land near Brest, France, shortly before sunrise this morning. They were not observed because they were both in a dense fog. The story in Miss Sweets' own words is as follows: We were flying along slowly at a hundred and fifty miles an hour. Suddenly I smelled smoke. Turning around I saw that the entire fusilage was in Hame. My auto- matic extinguisher would not work, so I hastily 'phoned to my home in Louisville, Kentucky, over my radio television set, but the exchange gave me the wrong number. Before I could make connections the aerial had dropped off. We saw that we had to jump at once. I arose to the surface almost immediately and sank again. This time I heard all the little sharks smacking their lips and came up with a jelly fish lodged in one nostril. Whenl was sinking for the proverbial third time, visions of my schoolhood days passed before my mind. Here I was becoming fish food while my former classmates had such bright careers! I thought of Elizabeth Howe, who had just been elected Poet Laureate on the Republican ticket. If she were here she could compose an epitaph for me. With tears in my eyes I recalled Alice Bruner, the famous flagpole sitter. I longed for Dorothy Boul, who is now at the head of her profession announcing trains in the New York Union Station. There was Patsy Lee Griffin painting signboards in advertisement of Lucky Strikes Cwith Mary Luvisi as modelj. The artistic ability of Patsy Lee brought to my mind Catherine Neel, who is paint- ing the town red, Then Hendy Lee Hamilton forced herself into the picture. She is now a modern Fagin making little Oliver Twists and Bunky Hill, Juniors, out of all the neigh- bors' children. From her the picture shifted to Emily Owen, who drives a 1910 model Hivver. CWill it never wear out?D I remember Mary Petrie Terry, over whom a woodpecker and twenty squirrels had had a quarrel the day before I had launched on this fateful journey. The picture changed to Abby Stewart, who is trying to lead Peggy Joyce in a non-stop marrying contest, and Louise Lee, who flips Hapjacks in Childs' Restaurant. Some of the forty-seven A if-kk. I . T. '- : ' -in I 11 - ATHERTON t Q 5 notable girls in the Class of 1929 that occupied my thoughts at this instant were: Duddy Straeffer, who is now knitting sleeveless sweaters for the poor helpless little blind fish of Mammoth Cave, Helen Knight, who was our leading lady, leads cows to the pasture every morning at about 4 A. M., Martha Lucas, former president of the Student Council, who has made such a wonderful success that she is now president of the City Councilg Lillian Jacobson, who plays the Calliope on the Steamer America Cit is very beautiful music because I used to hear it in my home in the Highlandsj g Dot Cate, who is a sweet old maid, and heads the National Union of Ladies' Aid Societies. It is strange how much a drowning person can think about. For instance I figured that Abby Morrow, who up to date has been leader of the Country-Wide Talking Marathon and has been talking for twenty years at the average of six hours per day, totals altogether 43,900 hours. I wished that she were here. I am sure she could move the hungry little sharks to tears. My mind then wandered to Epp Kaelin, the most noted New York mannequing but all this time I seemed to be clutching at some subconscious hope. I was sure this hope wasn't connected in any way with Martha Bell, the famous night club hostess, nor with Frances Nelson, who is a missionary to Jeffersonville, sent by the Louisville churches to prevent elopements, nor with Ruth Bronner, who has heroically devoted her life to the cause of incurable fiances. I was struggling desperately to keep above the water, which stung my eyes and was strangling me, when I thought of Dot Lepping, who had taken Miss Watzenborn's place in the Atherton Gym, and this suggested Miss Jansing to me-There! Why hadn't I thought of her before? When I went to school, she had taught me to swim. Wasn't I lucky to think about that, even if I did acquire the thought by a long round-about chain of reasoning? This subconscious thought elevated from the depth of my mind, I struck out and swam to shore. The following is the story by Miss Esther Bossung of her experiences after their plane, the Sea-Bound, became disabled and caught fire: When I saw Miss Sweets jump from our plane I realized that I, too, must jump. I climbed out of the cockpit onto the wing just as the plane went into a tailspin and with all my strength I clung to the wing. The next thing I remember was that I, still clinging to the wing of our once powerful plane, was being tossed about by the roaring waves. My thoughts ran back to my schoolmates and friends. I thought of jolly Louise Carle, who has become the hostess of a night club, and of jean Dawson, now the most admired ballet dancer in New York. I began to wonder why I had ever left the good old U. S. A. when I remem- bered that the world's most famous pianist, Elise Meyer, who had started her career by playing Lovely Lady, was soon to return from a successful concert tour. I thought of my home state now under the administration of Governor jean Morris, who has Eleanor Adkisson as her private secretary. I thought of Juliette Chase, the noted evangelist, who has succeeded in arousing a large number of our elder citizens against flaming youth, by comparing the slow, easy-going young people of 1929 with the young people of today. just as a powerful wave almost went over my head I thought of Nell Montgomery, who has studied chemistry in several universities and worked in research laboratories trying to change aluminum into gold. As I gazed into distance for help, I saw only the clear blue sky, and I was reminded of the famous descriptive poem of the traffic jams in the air, written by Verna Geisler. In vain I wished that Dorothy Blumer had planned her visit to Paris forty-eiglgt , I f-.s...L Y X ATHERTO ' Q ' If L Z ffmmi sooner and that she, in her powerful plane, the Eagle, would descend from the Heecy clouds in the sky. I thought of Emanell Beasley, who is now assistant to Cynthia Grey and who gives valuable advice to lovelorn graduates of Atherton, and of Katherine Roach, who is a bareback pony rider. Gertrude Heimerdinger is now in Hollywood and is known as Greta Garbo the Second. I thought of Eloise Crutcher, the composer of so many beautiful popular theme songs, and of Evelyn Crutcher, the star reporter for the New York Times. As I was tossed about the waves, I wished that I were visiting Ruth Bohon, who lives alone, and raises chickens and tomatoes, or Vida Estes, who is the head of the Home for Incurable Cats, instead of the whales and sword fish of the Atlantic Ocean. I thought of Elizabeth Kline, who is the tennis champion of America, and of Marion Clark, noted opera singer of the Metropolitan Opera Company. The waves were carrying me nearer to a moving object which I could see in the distance. It was a tug boat! just a little ahead of the boat was someone swimming- the swimmer was my own classmate, Martha Severance, who has recently broken all endu- rance records set by women. It all seemed too good to be true that I would not be a meal for some hungry whale after all. As a result of these remarkable experiences Miss Sweets and Miss Bossung have started the manufacture of saddles for sea horses to be carried by every scout aviator Csince they are also Girl Scoutsj, so that they will be prepared in such an emergency as befell the intrepid two. farly-nine ,-.. fx, ...M 4 1 ' Al- ,H fr' fXT1-IERTON - ' Amgmom HABIT5 I A-fm' ' f ..or '---- . if H as-V! if ATHERTON uniors L JL, 1 , I U A X E 'I i .

If we were to ask, Why is a Freshman, a Sophomore, or a Senior? the problem might present some real 'Ulf - difficulties. In fact at this moment we cannot think of any possible answer to the question. So far as any real value to Atherton is concerned no good reason for the existence of either the Freshman, the Sophomore or the Senior class is known. ,X N x x'x ASKK' The Freshmen are just getting their ,bearings and are too new and green to know much of high-school life. They have not yet lost their grade-school ways, and they are babied by the older girls. The Sophomores are just beginning to learn and must devote all their time to that one thing. The heavy pressure of their studies demands all their time. The Seniors have their minds on the fast approaching goal of graduation and are thinking of what they will do after leaving school. They no longer think of the school itself, but of a diploma and what it will bring. They are actually looking forward to leaving Atherton. But the Juniors-that is altogether a different story. The juniors are the real backbone of a school. They are the very essence of School Spirit. Without them the finest traditions and institutions of the school would decay and finally die for lack of support and enthusiasm. They are old enough to have outgrown their childish whims and follies, yet they are not so old as to have lost their girlish pep and enthusiasm. The experiences of two years have taught them how to get by without devoting too much time and labor to their studies, leaving them ample leisure to do the things that are typical of high-school life and spirit. We realize that this editorial will not be very pleasing to the Freshmen, Sophomores, or Seniors, but it will be very fruitful of discussion. However, by the time the present Sophomore class can answer it in next year's Annual, they will be Juniors themselves, and they will have the same views on the subject. The present Seniors will have graduated, and they will look on the petty differences of their high-school days as something of a joke. We Juniors will be Seniors and will have acquired an air of superiority to such silly disputes. The only people who will object are the present Freshmen who will then be Sophomores, and they will be very much in the minority. So, to the question, Why is a junior? the answer is--well, figure it out yourself.

It was in the middle of the year, and they were quite ready to exchange lesser excitement for this 9 G? newer adventure. As they joined the caravan which was just beginning to make its straggling way across the sands, they paused to bid goodbye to the few who remained behind. These latter strove to conceal their disappointment by gallantly wishing their more fortunate comrades the best of luck. During the travail of the desert that followed many kept to the true course and were not lost in the great desert wastes of sand. Some, however, were lured from their companions by elusive mirages, which enticed the victims far away and then vanished. When the un- fortunate ones found themselves in a hotter and more waterless region than before, where burning simooms were frequent, some ceased to struggle with the hot, flying sand that cov- ered them. Others, who possessed more determination, dragged themselves away from the evil place and eventually joined the original caravan again. Reunited, they traveled onward until with great joy they saw the oasis of their destination looming before them. When the weary journeyors had been welcomed there at the end of the desert by those who had traversed the desert before, then they were glad that they had been watchful of eye and steady of hand in guiding their camels. Then they were entitled to a long and well-earned rest in the great green oasis, before they should travel over the second desert, and gain the second oasis, which lay before them. This same band of travelers has nearly completed its second journey, and has learned by experience the best way to cope with the mirages, which are Temptation, and the fatal simooms, which are Failure. To bewildered beginners who would succeed, these more experienced ones can only say: The first desert is the hardest! --Nancy Bowden, 'MM sixty-two ATHERTQN Freshmen .i f, 'HQ' 69 59137 , K I' G f 1 .

On that memorable day when we first entered Atherton, knowing that it was our school too, we shivered, recalling all the tales we had heard of cruel Sophomores and snob- bish Seniors. So it was with dread in our hearts that we went for the very first time into chapel. We all sat on the very back seats, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. But to our amazement we returned home, unmolested, and in about the same condition in which we had arrived. But, thought we, this is only the first day. Practically all of our fears, howeverywere dispelled next day when kind Sophs, Juniors, or Seniors escorted the lost new Freshmen to their classes. Real school spirit was instilled when we heard, Yea, Mulberry yelled at Parkway Field as one goal after another was made against Girls' High. And now we really feel as though we are a part of Atherton, however small a part we may be. Next year we shall no longer be infants, but worldly-wise Sophomores!

ATHERTON a STUDENT COUNCIL N September, five years ago, the Atherton Student Council was organized. Ashort - time after this, a constitution was adopted, stating the purposes of the organization- 5,4,4,g,Q to form a working partnership between the faculty and the student body, to make WW possible a helpful interchange of ideas relating to school lifeg to help convey to the students an understanding of measures which promote school welfare, and by the organized co-operation of the students, to carry out more effectively the standards and ideals of the school. Each member of the Student Council is chosen for a term of one year. If, at the end of her year of service, she is re-elected, she receives a pin as a reward of service. From the Senior Class, five representatives are elected to the Council, from the Junior class, fourg from the Sophomore class, two, and from the Freshman class, one representative. The Student Council is ably assisted in its work by the junior and Senior aides, who execute their duties very eifectively. Formerly, the Student Council was assisted by assembly representatives, one of whom was elected by each assembly class. However, for the last year, each Home Room has formed a separate organization, with a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, and hospitality chairman. The Student Council feels that its eilorts have not been in vain and that the council, as the years go by, will prove increasingly beneficial to the Atherton High School. -Martha Bob Lucas, '29 seventy g f , ATHERTON l 'f4'Trmmf, . . , , M .

Everyone knows everyone else, everyone is interested in L 4,44 the sayings and doings of everyone else. The unfortunate who moves away speaks -A W' of it with a tenderly reminiscent smile. Most people have small-town minds. Whether we admit it or not, none is sufficient unto himself. We cannot be too much alone or analyze ourselves too searchingly. Not only is it fatal to our sense of humor, but it dangerously threatens our self-respect. To keep the small-town enthusiasm and zest for life is hard sometimes. To keep small-town friend- liness in a city is difficult. Yet, less than nine hundred people who are together for six hours a day, nine months of the year, should be able to accomplish this, and Aerial is one of the chief agents in such accomplishments. Perhaps the greatest service which our school paper performs is the knitting together of various interests, the mixing and stirring of all the elements that compose our school life so as to make a small-town atmosphere possible. Atherton, like every community, has many types of personality. Aerial attempts to give expression to as many as possible. It fills the shoes of the prominent men of the little town. It tells all the news, though, as is the way in small communities, most of the news is known before it is printed. It takes the place of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs in boosting civic drives. It prints juicy morsels of gossip which so delight the small-towner. It has its village wit who enlivens the routine of the day. It sometimes, though rarely, we hope, feels called upon to warn the citizens of their sins through editorial preaching. It has its romanticists who dream of the outside world and express their dreams in verse and story. It has its society news, which is the occasion of wide interest. It keeps an eager eye on its successful sons Cor shall we say daughters ?j and reports their accomplishments in the Alumnae notes. Like the inevitable Woman's Club, it keeps in touch with the outside world, through exchanges with other school papers. In short, it is interested and tries to interest everyone else in the affairs of the school. If the small towns are the backbone of the nation, we think Aerial can rightly claim to be one of the most important vertebrae in the backbone of Atherton.

For many years, those interested in the welfare of the Schools of the United States felt the want of some one school organization whose purpose it should be to reward the pupil, not for an accomplishment in a particular field, but for school success as a whole. At last the idea was conceived of having a national society which should be recognized and encouraged in modern schools. The ideals deemed most worthy of being made the goal towards which the student body should strive are: Scholarship, leadership, character, and service. All these qualities are valuable in themselves but, united, they form a powerful combination. They are incentive to school spirit, and they are qualities that, when once cultivated, remain with us all our lives. A girl to be eligible to the National Honor Society must be in the upper one-third of her class. Her average is taken for her entire time at Atherton. She must have proved that she possesses leadership, character, and service. Five per cent of a class is eligible when that class is English VI, five per cent when it is English VII, and five per cent more when it is English VIII. The members are selected by the faculty, and they are formally initiated in chapel. The emblem of the National Honor Society is the keystone and Ham- ing torch and its pledge is: I pledge myself to uphold the high purposes of this society to which I have been elected, striving in every way to make its ideals the ideals of my life. -Hendy Lee Hamilton, '29 ' President.

It was organized in nineteen twenty-five, to further athletics at Atherton. The Association sponsors all interfscholastic and inter-class games as well as annual swimming and .track .E meets and tennis tournaments. Only members of the Athletic Association may take part in these activities. The only inter-scholastic activity is hockey, which ends in the late fall with the game with Girls' High School.
