Humor fiw lb ATHERTON TI if H ' Ab lliloreword Young and very laughing-hearted girls, Blowing like slim flowers down this hall, Your light feet, your laughter, your clear voice Echo as you pass. This is not all These long, dim-lighted corridors will hear, For there are other girls, shy ghosts that find Their way among you: girls who passed these doors A final time, and left their youth behind. Heed them or shun them, thronging wistfully Along the crowded ways that once they knew. There will come a time when, glancing back, A wiser and a graver part of you H Will pass these doors. But part that was a gay And laughing Pan shall never pass away. Mary Prudence Morton, '31 Six 111- -' ?zf- 1-H' 1 I ATHERTON q l .L- F -T- Nxkg xxxxx X N X ki J. M.

Softly pattering drops,-nay, call them not tears but Rain, freshen into being moss-covered intertwined vinesg Curved rainbows bridge life's streams, carrying our thoughts From time that is to times that were. Deep-hued jewels lavishly set in their own verdant mounting Show their tints in the rosy glow of morn, Dulling with the passage of time as our momentary laurels Wither and decay with the setting of the years.

We review our record. Athletes and actors, musicians and writers, artists and students, executives and orators-these are graduating, leaving behind them medals and trophy cups and memories of loving friendship, earned alike by that class characteristic, good sportsmanship. We are content in the knowledge that we have nothing of which to be ashamed. We are ready to leave in the files of Atherton and in the minds of our classmates the roll of our deeds, a roll of honor. We have spent happy years in Athertong years all too short for the many things we wanted to crowd into them. We have come to love and honor noble principles that we are proud to claim as our own, but we are not ashamed to acknowledge that the greatest thing we have learned is the beauty of friendship. We are graduating, and we are happy. We shall not be forgotten. We have claimed Atherton as oursg she will always call us hers.

Vile can pass the egotis- tical juniors with a look of scorn, unless our better nature prevails upon us to grace ifiiffiil them with a smile. Sophomores wilt in our presence, and Freshmen are out of the question. We sit in the first four rows of Chapel with unbelievable dignity. Our good behavior is taken for granted, for have not the good teachers spent three years in training us? Our opinions are always regarded as important, and our decisions are always correct. Each morning we don our coats of responsibility and proceed to be a worthy example for the lower school. And yet, down underneath it all, we are just human beings like everyone else. Tradi- tion has forced us to assume this exalted position. We really enjoy the English V dances, although we wouldn't admit it. Perhaps we show a hardened face to the world, but our hearts quiver at the thought of leaving Atherton, in spite of the fact that we have another term. Our Senior Play alone acts as a shield, protecting us from the awful reality of Class Day. We have ambitions, too. When we first came to Atherton our ambition was to be Seniors. Now that we have reached success in this undertaking, we have hitched our wagons to higher stars. In the first place, we want to graduateg and then we want to do something to make Atherton proud of us. However, in spite of our worldly-wise air, we realize that we have much to learn. We have traveled a long way on our journey toward success, but we still have an unbelievable distance to go. Perhaps we shall say our goodbyes to Atherton with tears in our eyes, but we shall smile through the tears as we think of the other, greater worlds that lie ahead of us, waiting to be conquered. We are sorry to leave, and yet we are anxious to see what the future has in store for us. Only one more term, and then we shall go, taking with us youth and the ambition to win honor not only for ourselves, but finally for our school. With all this to look forward to, do you wonder that we, as Seniors, feel so gloriously happy? Seniors ! Lula Mae Maupin, 'EMM thirty-four 'i ATHERT .

Roadcap, '31 Nancy Bowden, '31M thirty-six ATHERTON L' M fe' g SllI'ff CLASS PROPHECY Saturday, March 5, 1941 Dear Diary, I guess you think I've been neglecting you horribly for the last four days, but I've had so much to do that I'm sure you'll forgive me when you hear about it all. After ten long years, I have at last found the chance to go back to Atherton for the Hrst visit since graduation. Thrills! The main object of my trip, you know, was to report all I know concerning the fate of my classmates to the editor of Aerial for publication in the next issue. I left New York March 1, and started the most wonderful trip I've ever had. I ar- rived home just this morning, and I'm telling you every detail before I forget anything. The train left Tuesday at eleven, and I got on at one minute to eleven. I had just settled down comfortably and read half a College Humor when the porter announced first call to lunch. Dashing madly back to the diner I heard an awful noise as though a whole army of people were getting on the train. just about that time I came face to face with the whole crowd of ladies. I found out it was the Fine Arts Club starting for their annual meeting in Washington, D. C., where Mary Prudence Morton was going to write a poem for the President of the U. S. A. to send for the approval of Congress. Helen Dolson and Hedwig F ickert were planning to illustrate the poem. Florence F orwood was chap- eroning, accompanied. by Evelyn Schoeffel, jean Helfrich, Gladys Roggenkamp and Dot Kirkendall. Gee, we had a grand time talking over Old days in Atherton. I accepted their invitation to stay all night with them in Washington Tuesday night. As we pulled into the station we heard a band playing and people cheering, so we wondered whether the President himself was not there to greet us. Naturally, when we finally stopped, we all stuck our heads out the windows to see what the occasion was. There was a big mulberry and gold banner that said, Welcome and the band, led by none other than Eleanor Fegenbush, with Bessie Ressnier at the bass drum, immediately went into the strains of March, Atherton. Naturally, I was so surprised that I probably would have collapsed if it hadn't been for three dignified ladies who approached me. One, Diary, was Mayor Chilton Searcy and the others, Chief Deputies Gladys Benner and Roberta Liebknecht. thirty-seven .1 ATHERTON x Wmr i Well, pretty soon I began to pull myself together, and finally I stepped off that train ready to meet anything or anybody without a falter. It seemed that the Mayor had planned a grand ball for the evening in our honor, so we were conducted to the Frances Vance Hotel for a little rest. The original Frances Vance brought me up an evening paper to read while I rested. In the perusal of that one paper I found that: Marion Coleman was the editor of itg Grace Duncan had just been elected speaker of the Senateg Nancy Bowden was astonishing the literary world with her newest novel, and Vila Koster was sparring partner of Eddie Cantor. Realizing that further shock would be impossible, I dressed and went to the ball. There I was welcomed by the Married Women's Club reception line. There were jane Irick, Louise Caswell, Eleanor Lauer, Elizabeth Fortney, Carolyn Feigel, and Mary Lowe DeMoss, who had on the most beautiful evening dress of aqua-marine blue QI guess she's still true to the Navyj. After the Ball I came home feeling like a new person after so much joyous contact with my old friends. When I left Washington Wednesday morning, I hated it very much, but it had to be done. I arrived in Louisville Wednesday night and just had time to dress for a Roof party up at the Brown given for the five year club members of my graduating class, where I again met some more of my classmates. Susanne Brown was elected life- President, and Mary Rose Lauletta was elected Vice-President. I certainly had a good time with them. Thursday morning bright and early I danced happily once again into dear old Atherton's portals, and my eyes were almost filled with tears when the Aerial staff so graciously re- ceived me. They escorted me down to the staff room, gave me the easiest stool to sit on, and listened with their eyes and ears open to all I had to report on the fates of my class- mates. After I sat down, Mary Andriot, who has married a movie actor, and who is residing in California next door to Buddy Rogers, Cwhat a lucky gal she always was with the menll talked for several more periods on what had happened out her way.

While I stand on the roadway or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core. -Yeats each one of us there comes that inward voice, ever calling us-onward. To none is its message the same, but it represents the consummation of the desires, the hopes, Llftiiff the ambitions of the person it inspires. Before entering high school the call of this voice has been faint as an echo, its visions of the future drowned by the omnipotent present. But when we enter high school there confronts us a different world, containing a thousand unseen or unheeded truths. So quickly do they come that we are dazzled, our sense of perception is dulled. Time alone can help us to fathom these newly-revealed truths and to accept them. Not until we are juniors does the full significance of our new life reach us, for then we have dropped those qualities of illusion and effusiveness given to the Freshmen and Sopho- mores that they may be sustained while accustoming themselves to the new routine. We have not as yet attained that state of the Senior from which we expect soon to be called to another and a higher sphere of life. As the juniors, we represent the true spirit of the school. We accept the works and the pleasures, the joys and the cares as they come our way. There is a goal for all this-graduation. But there is a greater goal about which that voice is whispering-to each in her own way. To some it promises contentment and a joyful peace. To others it tells of ambitions, service, and scintillating victory in various fieldsg to all it is the crystallization of desires. So the voice calls us on and on, and we follow, hearing its tones and heeding its warn- ings until it shall lead us to reality. -Ruby Bacon Nicoll, '32 forty-six ff'-' ATHERTON I , A 11 , I- , 2, q wf-m.

How wonderful it sounds to the ears of those who have attained that section of high-school known as the 'fUpper Units. Even though we are the H6522 babies among the organized classmen, we, as well as our elders, have our own niche to fill in the structure of school life. Looking back over our years as freshmen and sophomores, we discover that there is stretching out behind us a long line of days which were filled with both work and play. Some of us were a part of that growing institution, the junior high school, during the time that others of us were just beginning to find ourselves in a senior high school. After a year brimful of fun, mingled with hard work, all of our different paths finally led us, in the spring of nineteen-hundred-thirty, to our sophomore year at Atherton. During this year, we began to feel a real interest in such things as junior dances and junior-Senior boat rides, for we realized that it would not be very long until we ourselves were a part of these school activities. Then, the long looked for transition from the sopho- more to the junior year took place. At last we could answer to the pleasing name of a junior, which meant the realization of all our hopes! juniors! Now we were old enough to have our own class officers! In the mind of each girl, as she thinks over her own two years of high school, certain teachers stand out who have been a constant inspiration to her-friends, to whom she has often gone freely for counsel. She also owes a deep gratitude to her principal, whose firm guidance and genuine interest have always encouraged each student to be true to the ideals of her school. - Now, we have our Senior year only to look forward to. Meanwhile, we must carry on the best we know how the splendid ideals set by the first Junior class of Atherton. Evelyn You ng, 33M forty-riin-e S ATHERTON H A 1mnQ f f .., .ATI-IEIDJDON M I ' 0 .' .

Some are crooked, shallow streams that wind their way tortuously, others are broad, un- iiitfiii troubled bodies that take their course peacefully. But all have one destination, all flow at last into the sea. The schools of a nation are its rivers, flowing into the great sea, Life. And we, the students, are the frail barks tossed about on the bosom of waters sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent. Each small school is a river in itself. At first, through devious routes, the smaller streams trickle into a larger one, steadily growing until it forms the great torrent that rushes into the sea. In our case, Sophomorehood is the critical junction. It is where all the streams meet and form the body that is to go on, united, through the remaining two years. During our Freshman year, our barks had sailed upon comparatively smooth waters. They carried small cargoes, and they had not yet been caught up by the current of school activities. With their arrival at the meeting of waters, Sophomorehood, they felt that they had become a necessary part of their school. Some leadership, however small, was given to them. But with the added honors came threatened disasters. Many, unable to withstand the stronger current, Houndered and almost went under. Now our barks have steadied themselves. Roaring rapids are ahead, the waters around us seem smooth, but who knows the strength of the treacherous undertow? Even so the barks are pursuing their course serenely. The waters will beat about them more fiercely as they sail on, but they are secure. And far ahead the sea appears, unutterably beautiful.

To watchful aviators this beacon, revolving, reveals every dark corner and brings into clear view the expanse of ground safe for their landing. Aerial holds the same position at Atherton. From the center of its field the school paper, as the spotlight, brings before the eyes of its readers every detail of school life, news events, interviews treated as feature articles, Hall of Fame photographs of students most prominent in scholastic or athletic circles are components of the first page. On the second page one finds an editorial, or sometimes two, the sports column and personals combined with alumnae notes. The third page is devoted for the most part to fiction, poetry, and feature material. On the fourth page appear columns of humor and chatty comment, supplemented by other short articles employing wit of the most varied types. Aerial presents another advantage to its readers-the opportunity at all times for pupils who are not members of the staff to contribute writings of their own for publication. Be- sides this, some kind of contest, usually for short stories, the winner of which is awarded both a monetary prize and her picture in the Hall of Fame, is sponsored once each year by the paper. No other organization has as numerous or varied functions. If Aerial has brought enjoyment and amusement to its Atherton subscribers, it has not failed to seek and to achieve honors outside the walls of its own little community. Every year it sends some of its staff as delegates to the convention of the Kentucky High School Press Association, and very seldom have they returned without bearing a cup for first place in one department or another and mentions for second and third places in others. Our delegates have not infrequently been elected to offices of the convention at George- town. Although we realize that at times its lens seems foggy and its stream of light dim-a condition which we know can, and we hope will, be removed by increasing age and experi- ence-we venture to claim that Aerial is a most essential spotlight at the Atherton airport.

The ideals of this Society are Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, which are considered the most useful to society and therefore the most worthy of encouragement. Scholarship is the high quality of work by which the student upholds the educational ideals of her school. Leadership is the ability to think independently, to show initiative, and to exert a helpful influence which will advance the various activities in the school. Service, which is closely associated with Leadership, is a willingness to render cheerfully and ably any assistance, either to school or classmates. Character, a composite of these three, is the foundation upon which all lasting ideals must be built. The emblems of the National Honor Society are the keystone and the Haming torch. The torch sheds forth the light of truth, which encourages all students to follow in its gleam.

In 2 Lil C11 E-' seventyfaur ATHERTON . ' ' r S mr'1' M LD Peter stopped with his trowel midway to the ground and watched her as she walked out on the wide open porch of the resort hotel. He saw her quick look of 4629 perplexity, immediately replaced by a carefully posed expression of unconcern. He saw the too pretty clothes, the ruflies and lace, the beribboned hat, and the cheap, high-heeled pumps, all so out of place among the expensively simple sport clothes of the smart crowd which frequented the hotel. He dropped his eyes and continued digging the neat little holes, placing the tiny plants in them, and carefully patting down the soft, damp earth with his gnarled, toil-worn fingers. He had taken only a glance, for under-gardeners could not afford to become conspicuous, but he had seen at once that under the brave front she was lonely, scared, and probably spending her last dollar for a few days on the outskirts of society life. ' He sighed, for she had looked so much like Millie,-Millie, who had passed away so many years ago, who was lying in a little country grave-yard, beneath the sweet, old- fashioned flowers she had loved so much,-Millie, who had been his only joy in life after her mother's death,--Millie, who was an angel now. He did not attempt to hide the tear that trickled down upon a drooping little plant that he was setting out. People didn't look at gardeners anyway. And the saltiest tear of the ocean could not make any weaker these feeble little shoots, so delicately raised in the hot-house, nor could it take away the stiff, correct orderliness of the borders that graced the hotel grounds. As another tear followed the first, he thought of the days gone by when he and Millie had gloried in the beautiful wildness of the common, sturdy flowers that grew in the cabin yard. For a time he remained motionless, his weary gray head sunk on his chest, paying silent tribute to the rustic beauty of that old garden, now running wild without the loving care of her who lay so still not far away. He remembered how the merry sunfiowers and the lady-like hollyhocks vied for importance, but the shyest pansy did not lack attention. He could still see the flaming trumpet-vine twining over the fence, racing madly with the red rambler that gaily climbed over the tiny porch. A third tear tore his heart with the memory of planting on Millie's grave one autumn day those same flowers, of bidding fare- well to the other Millie lying beside the second, and of leaving forever the purple asters, the late, rust-colored roses, and the elms that -whispered still over the neglected mounds. Like Millie To stop the ever-increasing flow, he gazed again at the porch where the golfers and tennis players were gathering for a chat before dressing for dinner. Still alone, she was crowded into a corner, and the terror in her eyes had deepened. She was clutching her purse, frightened, old Peter mused, by its flatness. He had guessed rightly: she was a runaway. As he picked up his tools he decided to watch for her the next day. She was so like Millie. seventy-five Z L ATHERTON 'lmvwmmmf In the middle of the morning he saw her walking down the pavement at the end of which he was planting more of the stiff, conventional borders. Her air of careless saunter- ing was clearly false, and he felt sure that his decision of the previous evening was true. As she paused at the turn of the path, he looked up and said in a low voice, Don't ye thing ye'd better be gettin' back home, Miss? Them folks will be mighty glad ter see ye. They won't bless ye out, Miss, don't you worry! Her eyes had opened wide, and she had started to blurt out, What do you know about me? , but somehow, one realized that Peter just naturally knew those things. She fingered her purse, trying to laugh, I can't go back. I haven't any money. Peter pursed his lips and queried, Come up here to get work and see the rich folks, I guess? She nodded, and wiped her eyes with a damp handkerchief. Somehow, one didn't mind doing that before Peter. Live very far away? Over in Barrington. It's sixty miles. I've paid my board through tomorrow, but after that, I'll have only a dollar left. I thought I'd live here and see what I could of the big folks before I started to work, but there isn't any work. I guess I'll starve, she ended helplessly. No, no, lass. Ye'll not do that. He looked at her eyes, so wide, so blue, so like Millie's, and he added, If you come right here, tomorrer, early, we'll see what we can do. That night Peter pulled out the old tin can from under his cot, opened it, and care- fully counted the meager hoard. There was enough to pay for a ticket to Barrington, and buy a little lunch. He would give it to her, and try to forget the dream, the dream which would have come true with the aid of these savings of all the years that had passed since he had left the elms that were still whispering. He would have gone back that sum- mer, straightened the tilting stones and the sagging fences, cleaned the neglected mounds, and tied up the straggling roses. Then in the old cabin he would have spent the days that were now so few. As he arranged the coins into a neat package, the last door to the old life seemed slowly closing. He went to the window and leaned out, breathing in the fresh clean spring air. The violets would have finished blooming in the old graveyard, now, and the dogwood would have long since sent its last white wings fiuttering down to cover the pale arbutus, that was so fragile, so lovely, like Millie. Now the slender irises would be blowing in reverence, while the roses steeped the air with their perfume. Then would come the giant tiger lilies, setting the somber scene afire with their torches. On and on, the glorious pageant would pass, until the last roses had come and gone and Millie would be left sleeping under the elms that were still whispering.

OFFICERS Dorothy Duffy, President Juliet Frazier, Secretary Jane Borries, Vice-President Nola Crabtree, Freshman Representative Yea, M ulberry! Yea, Gold! Yea, Atherton! Knock 'em cold! S the curtain falls on the athletic season, everybody willingly admits, it has been I one grand play. M023 The friendly rivalry that was so evident throughout the inter-class contests seemed to add pep and a will-to-win in the class rooms as well as in the gym. Students had the pleasure of competing with each other in tennis, swimming, hockey, volley ball, basket ball, baseball, and track. Heretofore obscure and unheralded heroines have risen to fame and championships. All hail to them! We all love a winner. Our hockey team, composed of inexperienced young players, in the main, acquitted themselves nobly by their lighting spirit and their clean sportsmanship. True, we lost our big game, but next year we shall have the upper hand, as we lose only four members of this year's squad of twenty-two. Many girls have been awarded the coveted A for their athletic accomplishments, while others have received numerals. VVhat culture is to the mind, athletics is to the body. Fair play, ability to carry on against overwhelming odds, how to take defeat and victory are all courses that the participant in athletics takes. Make up your mind right now to try out for the teams next year, thus insuring another great season for 1932-even better than 1931. Cooperate with Miss Watzenborn and your athletic association officers, and you can be assured of one grand round of fun and pleasure.
