Atlanta High School, 1919 eligible to play next year, and with several good country fellows signifying their intention of entering school next fall, there should be a real good team representing A. H. S. during 1919-20. It is to be regretted that Mr. Sugg will not be here next year to coach the team, for it was largely due to his untiring efforts that Atlanta took a place beside the very best teams in the country this year. We are hoping that the Board of education will be able to engage a good man to take up the work that he has left in such a good condition. R. b., '19.

Atlanta High School, 1919 The School Service Flag 88 STARS 2 STARS OF GOLD The Atlanta High School was well represented on the battlefields of France and throughout the camps in the United States. Our boys belonged to the divisions that were in the thickest of the fight, and they proved themselves to be the very best of fighters. Several have already returned and have brought home to us the living incidents of the World War. One of our boys, Bert Gresham, fell in France, making the supreme sacrifice, and the second, Frank Harnsworth, died in camp while receiving his training preparatory to going over. We are mighty proud to have had almost a hundred from the school in the service. Following is a list of the boys who were in the service: • ,i Adams, Robert Adcock, Fred Applegate, Allen Atchison, Paul Barr, Russell Becker, Allan Becker, Letto Bishop, Virgil Botkin, Jesse Botkin, Oliver Brandt, Thaddeus Brining, Arthur Brining, Elmer Cheek, Fred Cheek, Walter Clawson, Dean Cochran, Purl Coons, Harry Crihfield, Eugene Deuterman, Russell Dreher, Albert Dreher, Harry Dunham, Clarmont Ellis, Mark Ellis, William Ewing, Clifton ♦Farnsworth, Frank Gordon, Paul tGresham, Bert Hamilton, Charles Hammitt, Cecil Haminitt, Harold Harkreader, Bruce Harkreader, Robert Harry, Francis Hawes, Carl Hawes, Wilbur Hayter, Lawrence Hayter, Walter Hieronymus, Elbert Hitchell, Roy Huber, Merlin Hunt, Lester Hutton, Marshall Jones, Charles Jones, Warren Judy, Dean Kearney, Harold Kieszling, Milton Kinser, Chester La Dew, Geoffrey Lee, Burch Logue, Earl Ludlam, Clarance Michaels, Lyle Mullins, Rolla Mobley.
