HISTORY OF ATKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Gradually, step by step, due to the work of the first settlers In Atkinson and their descendants year after year, the chances for our learning have increased. The first school building in Atkinson was built on the corner where the residence of Mrs. Janes Nowers now stands. Thi6 structure was the scene of many rallies and political gatherings in Civil War tines. The 3choolhouse was the fourth building erected in tills village an indication of what an important part education has played in Atkinson. The first teacher here was Mrs. Elizabeth Nowers Lyons. The three R's, spelling, and geography were the only subjects taught at that time. Later, a larger frame building was erected two blocks v eet on the site now occupied by the present school. At this time there were only three grade teachers and one teacher in high school because there was but three years in high school until 1904. The first commencement was held in 1889 with Helen Lyons as the -first graduate. High school subjects were taught for many years before there were any graduating classes. Apparently before 1889, the young folks stayed in cchool as lor.1 as they felt they should and then left without ceremony when they felt they had acquired sufficient educ’tlon. During th-t period there w s no choice of subjects ac the pupils tock what was in the course of study and lined it. In 1920, the present school war built at a cost of 560,000 and in January 1921, the student, b gan their work in it. It was constructed with an auditorium, library, office, and three recitation rooms on the third floor, four class rooms for the grades on the oecond floor, and rooms for manual tr'in ng nd home economics together with a gymnasium on the first floor. Unfortunately, the cchool records of the school, prior to 1906, were destroyed causing much of the early history of the institution to be lost. On April 23, 1939, new territory was added to the Atkinson school district by a special cchool election which increased the enrollment the following year. In April 1941, it was voted by residents of this community to issue bonds and build a new school building at the cost of 8100,000. The structure is nearing completion and the Seniors of 1942 expect to be the first class to be graduated from the new building. By Evelyn Eecker. Harold D.

How proud we were as ’-’e first walked into our classes, all so very anxious to learn vhat these nert four years were to be Hite. On the 23rd. of September the Sophs, initiated us, and after they had finished «e l'elt as thougn ’-e were full fledged hij ii rchool members.

In November of our Sophomore year we were very sorry to lose one nem er of our class, J;net Cberle. In the s ring our cia.s dwindled own to ten ’hen one other me her, Johnetta '.’i ant, 1 ft uc. In April on elec Ion was held by the voter of the At£ klnson Cornwall Townships to vote In a new school district. To us this meant one of two things: We would either have a bigger and better school, or none at all. So we decided we should do all we could for our deer Alma Mater. We busy Soph's racked our braln3 and composed a song which we sang as we marched through town campaigning. It was to the tune of Working on the Railroad only we renamed ltt, We've Been Working on the High School . The election was won and we were to have a better high school. In our Junior year of 1940 we were more than glad to find our school had Increased from 45 to 66 pupils. The roll-call was read with 18 Junior members responding: Rachel Moens, Evelyn Becker, Loretta Huy6, Calvin De Pauw, Roberta De Roo, Janice Pacquer, David 3uysse, Mary Wilson, Rex Verbeckmoes, Phyllis Atwell.

It was also in January that we lost one of our most valuable football and basketball men, when Rex Verbeckmoes played his last game with Mineral. The two big features of the year were the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the Junior Class play. The class play Grand Old Darling , proved to be a success on February 14. On June 8 we entertained the Seniors for the Junior-Senior Banquet-at the Jefferson Hotel In Peoria. After the banquet we went to the show The Great Dictator .

Signed: CLASS OF '42 V, 3 a. -. s By: Janice Pacquer Roberta Be Roc Evelyn Becker 4 I CLASS PROPHECY While sitting in front of the open fire place I was looking at the pictures of my former classmates in the 1942 Tiger. As the fire was growing aim I began to wonder about the futures of the class of 1942--------------------------------------------- . I saw none other than David Buysse playing his newly composed music at Clrco's Night Club in Hollywood. Hearing a famllar laugh I knew it to be Janice Pacquer's. She was now taking the place of the great singing star, Kate Smith. To my surprise I saw Evelyn Becker as the head matron of a foundling home in the city of Chicago. I saw a light-brown haired girl busily working at her desk at the University of Idaho. As she raised her head, I saw her to be Loretta Huys. Donald Thorpe was nov taking the place of none other than Skinny Ennis. I found Roberta Dc Roo as a famous songstress co-starring with Dick Powell in the groat movie production Sing, Baby, Sing. I saw a familiar face as it looked up from a stack of books in the Atkinson High School. Yt,s, it was Rachel Moens who had accepted the position es Home Economics teacher. Working very busily behind the counter, Ilary Wilson was pleasantly assisting various customers at Woodworth's ten cent store in Kewanec-. Leland Mlsfeldt was Coach at Columbia University in Now York City. I Imagined that the sun dazzled my eyes for a minute. I saw Donald Price working busily on his three-hundred acre farm which he owns. Dick Dean is now heavy weight champion of the world. He knocked out Joe Louis at the New York Stadium last night in 16-J-seconds. Tyoing very hard in a New York office Lavlna De Crshe was transcribing notes for W. C. Fields for whom she as private secretary. Calvin De Pauw was serenely happily married and head of a large chain of filling stations. Helen Miile had now accented a permanent 'ositlon with Mew York Life Insurance. Dick Mowers wns not attorney-at-law In Iievr York City. Fie Is defending Adolfe Hitler at the present to keep him from the electric chair. Rex Verbeckmocs had gained his oositlon In life- by becoming the world'8 greatest orchestra' leader. Finding Donald Moon the wealthiest man In the West, I knew he must be the owner of F. M. Cattle Ranch which Is situated in Texas. A door slammed and suddenly I shivered. I realized I had fallen asleep. I had been dreaming and thi3 was such stuff as dreams are made on -------------mine anyway !

They started off ,rith a bang by defeating tb i Annawr.n Braves 45 to 7 on their own field. T’- e:r vent through the season with many nip and tuck g-imes, r ,:ell - s e ry victories, making a sensational record by v:innlng 9 out of 9 gruaes. Atkin°on lost but one game in the Conference, falling before an inspired Sherrnrd aggregation about Midway in the r- ce. It was the Tigers who plowed under what otherwise would have been a perfect se on for Viola, winning over them by a close 16 to 14, in a struggle that many fans regarded as the greatest exhibition seen in the Cornbelt Conference. The final standing of the football season made the Atkinson Tigers' six-man football team Co-Champions of the Cornbelt Conference with Viola. They were r-.ted one of the four best teams in the state.

BaSKZTBAL j The Atkinson Ki h School Basketball team started a successful season with a 31-21 win over Che.field. Some of the high-lights of the sea-on were the defeat of a strong Fulton team in the G-eneseo Holiday Tournament. Two victories over Annawan and the defeat of Cambridge for the first time in three yearr. proved a very successful season. The boys entered the Sheffield District Basketball Tournament in February in high spirits. However, they were nosed out In the beginning by Kaniius with a close margin of 36-35. Had the boys defeated Manlius we feel they could have placed high in the tournament. The season's record totaled 13 winnings and 9 losses. The term placed second in the Little Four Conference and they tied for third in the Cornbclt Conference.

Geneseo Holiday Tournament Fulton 24 28 Geneseo 40 21 Games won TRACK Sixteen boys reported for track practice at the opening of the season; all but one were underclassmen. Only two were letter-men of last year, so prospects for an outstanding track team was none too bright. In the first dual meet of the season Atkinson lost to a much larger Hillsdale team 63-45 without the services of Sheldon Curtis. In the second meet against Prophetstown which should have included Pulton in a triangular meet, Atkinson was subdued 75-35. In a triangular meet with Kevanee, Mineral, and Atkinson at Kewance the local boys scored only 14 points. In another triangular meet the scores were eneseo, 76; Mineral, 26; Atkinson, 22. The last meet of the season is The Cornbelt Conference which will meet at Cambridge Friday, May 1. For the first time this season the green and gold will be competing with schools of their class and we expect a good shoving. Atkinson was represented by the following boys throughout the track season. Mile - Stanley Kinnaert, Leland Kisfeldt, Vincent Causemaker. 830 - Elmer Mlnnaert, Eugene Schehl, Anthony Becker, James De Splinter. 440 - Eldon Atwell, Harvey Kisfeldt. 220 - Sheldon Curtis. James Van Waes. Hurdles - Elmer Mlnnaert, Sheldon Curtis. Weights - Elmer Mlnnaert, William Hamor, Donald Price. Pole Vault - Eldon Atwell. Broad Jump - Sheldon Curtis, Elmer Mlnnaert. 100 yd. dash - Sheldon Curtis. Lettermen were - Elmer Mlnnaert, Eldon Atwell, Sheldon Curtis, Stanley Mlnnaert, James Van Waes, Allen Scott, William Hamor. Since Atkinson was represented by underclassmen the prospects for next year's squad is very good. By - Rachel Moens q FEATURES SEPTEMBER '3UN MON. UES. .

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On Friday, November 14, at 8:00 p. m., the Junior Class of Atkinson High School gave a three act comedy called A Ready Made Family . The story was about a widow, Agnes Martyn, who while on a vacation met an old sweetheart, Henry Turner, a widower. They become engaged. Neither told the other about their children. The children found out about this and decided to break up the pair by acting their worst before their prospective step-parents. One had fits, another talked baby talk, and a third played holy terror. In the end Agnes and Henry emerged victorious and the children accepted their step-parents. It was a side-splitting comedy.
