ELEVEN J-,v , , v - EDITCDRIAL 'lOnward to bring you pride and fame- Onward the graduates go year by year into the roads of life, roads many and difficult. This year as the seniors reach the fork of the way, the maze of paths seems more intricate than at preceding graduations. For some, the selection of 1ife's route will be an easy task, and the trip will be a pleasant one with few mishaps. For some few, the way has already been mapped out and all the plans made. Others will perhaps have to take many detours and encounter dangerous curves before finding the correct avenue. Everyone must find his place in this world and try to use his talents to the best advan- tage for smooth traveling. At Atherton we have had excellent instruction, and now is the time for the test of practical application. Will you choose the avenue of marriage, college, or business? Study, interest, and ability will be leading factors in the selection. Many new fields for women are presenting themselves. Under construction are highways marked War Work and Red Crossf' The women, as a powerful army, will help democracy in all kinds of work. When the world is in a turmoil as it is now, the older people are in- clined to wonder if youth is equal to the great task of straightening out a labyrinth of affairs. VVith the basic high school training and further training in specialized divisions, the graduates will answer this challenge with vigor and determination. Among the byways and highways they will take the road which will make for a full, useful life. Yes, onward the graduates of Atherton go into the roads of life- Onward and always in your name, Onward to bring you pride and fame- TWELVE IRTIC Ev.

The twenty-three members of the Atherton Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society and their adviser, Miss Fannie Rosenfelder, have this year sponsored a project which is, they feel, totally in keeping with the ideals of the organization and with the patriotic spirit of the time. Early in 1942 the society planned to purchase a S75 United States YVar Bond which was to be set up as a scholarship for some deserving member of the 1952 class. A dance, held on May 29, yielded the necessary funds, The members, therefore, feel that in some small way, at least, they have lived up to those principles to which they were pledged-scholarship, leadership, character, and service. 1 FIFTY-TWO AERIAL F msr Row, left to right: Betty Austin, WVeltha Burdorf, Lucille Coldiron, Mary Ann Courtenay, Martha Durnil, Elizabeth Fort, Gertrude Fowler.

In 1926 the Atherton Social Service Club had its beginning with two members, Alma Hoffman and Evelyn Zubrod. The initial request for volunteers came from Miss Frances Ingram, -head resident at Neighborhood House, for assistance in the boys' woodwork depart- ment. The enthusiasm with which the first high school volunteers in Louisville greeted the opportunity to lend a hand in a community enterprise and the effective way in which they met the responsibilities assigned to them predicted the success of the experiment in which they were pioneering. Soon requests for help were received from other agencies. Year after year Atherton has been asked for increasing numbers of volunteers, and year after year the number of volunteers eagerly offering to devote one afternoon each week or Saturday mornings to community service has kept pace with the demand. The social service work is under the direction of Miss Catherine Morat. -', it v' vi ' , L Jv'. iii ' , 'vi ' , , Jia A-A FIFTY-FOUR SOCIAL SERVICE ENGLISH SEVEN i 1 ...,,w..MMvww ....... .- -'ew r 4 i S Fms'r Row, left to right: Sue Wilt, Alberta Gander, Suzanne Resnick, Anna Lee Kahn, Mary Louise Sympson, Frances Brownell, Anne Hughes, Genevieve Dona- hue, Ethel Morgan, jo Ann Badger, Gertrude Stibbins, Srxzolso How: Mildred Hildebrand, Reva Lee Kaplin, Elenora Neichter, Mary Alice Thompson, Ruth Bayersdorfer, Louise Sawyer, Martha jean Stoll, Susan Billig, Bever y Greenberg, Alice Payne.

I have found all of them very cooperative, very interested and quite helpful. Words are inadequate to express our deep appreciation of the skill and splendid spirit that the girls have manifested and the benefit it has been to us. We sincerely hope that we will be favored with as many of this group as possible next semester. Such is the tone of the letters of appreciation for Atherton's work. Another recognition that comes to our social service group is found in the Bulletin of the National Association of Secondary School Principals for October, 1940. There is included, among the promising practices in secondary education , a paragraph concerning Athertou's club and its program of organization and work.
