History of the Junior Class THE SEED The Class of 'll and the Faculty were very much discouraged in the fall of 1919 when that rusticated, awkward hunch of seedlings entered A. C. H. S. The seedlings organized and chose: Vera Smith_________________________•---------------President Miss May English----------------------------- Class Adviser The class progressed slowly and laboriously; and alter careful cultivation by its superior, the Class of ’22. assisted intermittently by the Faculty, it was ready to develop. ‘ THE PLANT So it slowly unfolded during the Sophomore year, agam carefully watched hy the Class of 'll. It met and chose, after a lively discussion: Frances Briggs --------------------------.----- — President Mrs. Bertha Bridges---------------------------Class Adviser By the use of insecticides, props, and pining, we saw the promise of THE FLOWER And such a blossoming! The flower’s thirteen petals convened and chose: Ruth Frantz-------------------------------------—President R. A. Scheer ---------------------------------Class Adviser The flower blossoming in the reflected glory of the Class ot — seemed even better than it reallv was. The flower’s greatest accomplishment was the great feast of its own ambrosia and nectar, which it gave to its guiding light, the Class of ’22. on April 28, 1922. And now we have expectations of the blossoms producing a perfect fruit in 1923. Maybe thev will produce perfect fruit, ' With the proper use of Prof. Scheer's boot. Having lived in our reflected glory We have some hopes they’ll miss purgatory. Coi.ors : Green and Gold. A- J Page 23 0 THE ATALA NTA 19 22 Sophomores President.

But who could do anything but belmld them when they made themselves so conspicuous on a certain September morn in 1 120 as the stampeded in like cattle on a range. After being sternly rebuked by the exemplary conduct and quiet manners of the luniors of that vear. now the seniors of 22. and the faculty, they quieted down suffi'cientlv to choose their subjects. I hey held their first class meeting and elected: Willard Hieronymus ---------------------------------President Miss Bessie Springer____________________________Class Adviser They rattled along bumpily their first year and. by hook and crook, managed to pass all exams and look forward to a Sophomore year. Behold the class of '24 in 1 21 ! ’S ou would never have recognized in this quiet, well-mannered, orderly hunch the roughnecks who entered in 1 20. 1 he class was organized again and the members elected: Priscilla Beverly ________________________________ —President Miss Irma Fraser________________________________Class Adviser We have suddenly discovered that this class is composed of social butterflies, bolding in its ranks some of the best dancers in town and they sure can step. The class entertained the High School with a wiener roast at the beginning of the ’21 term, in which mosquitoes played a very important role. Now with Miss Eraser at their head They may learn to earn their bread. If they follow her good example Of which they have a daily sample. Colors: Blue and Silver. A. J.

Ray History of the Freshman Class On the bright, sunnv morning of September 12, 1922. through the wide open portals of the A. C. II. S.. trooped thirty-three little green, terrified human beings. Thev were diamonds in the rough, prepared to receive their polish in pursuing this curriculum. Like a herd of frightened sheep thev ran about choosing subjects and shouting “What shall 1 take? The Seniors smiled with superiority over this show of emotion and said wisely “How foolish! But they’ll outgrow it. After the luirlv-l urly was over the Freshies called a meeting of their assorted members and amid much pomp and ceremony they elected: Burnell Miller ______________________________________ President Miss May English__________________________________Class Adviser Then just as this much-abused class was settling down and beginning to feel almost as wise as the Class of ’22. the first six weeks period ended and one noon the Freshies received their Report Cards and in color they were green. How astonishing! In that class developed gigglers, note-writers, and what not. Some of its members left, some stuck tight, and some new ones came. 1 bus far they have given the High School a party, and the untiring zeal of their adviser. Miss English. c mbined with the Freshie genius evolved a howling success. 'Phis class of Freshies may not seem To glitter, sparkle, or to gleam. But when they’ve l ad a year or two. Thev may he able to wiggle through. Colors: Nile Green and White. Pngc 31 A. J. X. '22 ALUMNI 19 22 THE ATALANTA For An.i) Lang Synf. In 1853 the first building called the Seminary was erected on the southwest corner of the present school site. It was chartered in 1855. The first Board of Trustees was Samuel Bevan. Samuel Foster. James Tuttle. A. C. Rankin, and R. T. Gill. The charter conferred upon the trustees full power to confer Academic degrees, to regulate the course of studies, to appoint teachers, to make by-laws, to erect additional buildings and to purchase lands less than ten acres in extent. The trustees also had the power to convert this school into a town high school, which was later done. The school was not to he denominational. 1 he stock was twenty dollars per share, each share being entitled to one vote. Shareholders were liable to a tax of one dollar each to pay debts. In May 1856 there were one hundred thirty-seven enrolled. There were three departments in the school, primary, intermediate and high. In addition to reading, writing and spelling, there were five classes in Arithmetic, two in Algebra, three in Geography, one in Philosophy, one in Latin and one in Historv. In 1870 the old Seminary building was found inadequate for the accomodation of the school population and measures were taken to erect a larger building. I he building was erected in 18 0 and was destroyed by fire in the summer of 1908. The present school building was erected in 1909. I he I lome Economics and Manual Training Departments were added in 1915. During the school year 1921 to 1922, the school secured enrollment in the North Central Association, an organization whose requirements for entrance are higher than those of any other association.

Lorene Miller. Alice Neel The Class History In the fall of 1918 when there were so many other important events, one was overlooked. In the early part of September a crowd of bewildered and subdued freshmen applied for admittance to the Atlanta High School. Since we seemed harmless as well as hopeless the faculty granted our request. At first the upper classmen, especially the sophomores, ignored us, but they were soon compelled to recognize our merits. Their fear of us was shown at the first meeting of the Athletic Association when the jealous sophomores moved that no freshman should hold office in this organization. Early in our freshman year we organized as a class according to Roberts’ Rules of Order and Superintendent Romig’s verbal instructions. After much discussion the following officers were elected: President, Alice Neel; Vice-Presi- dent, Burton Watt; Secretary, Dorothy Applegate; Treasurer, Gertrude Montgomery; Class .Advisers, Miss Merrick, Mr. Sugg. Our class flower, the yellow rose, class motto. “Labor omnia vincit,” and class colors, purple and gold, were also chosen. Dorothy Applegate resigned because of overwork and Mildred Carlock was elected to fill the vacancy. A wiener roast was given near the end of September hv the upper classes in honor? of the freshmen. It was a success as far as the guests were concerned but a dismal failure for the hosts—since no initiation was allowed. From the middle of March until school closed the “Freshman Star.” a semimonthly. was published by the English 1 class. Copies of this periodical are no longer extant, a fact which all historians regret, since the “Star” was the best speciment of that class of journalism known as “Early Alabama Backwoods.” In May after disposing of the seniors, the faculty gave the other three classes leave of absence extending until September to allow them to recover from excessive study and to give themselves an opportunity to regain their former peace of mind. Page 46 THE AT ALANTA 19 22 Next September we met immediately after registration to choose our officers for tiie ensuing year. Aided by several lucky chances and by Burton's electioneering the hoys gained political control, electing their entire ticket. President Walton Thomson; Vice-President. James Ash; Secretary-Treasurer, Edgar Houghton. There was one victory for the girls, they elected Miss Sill class adviser. The sophomores continued the custom handed down from remote antiquity, that of giving a wiener roast for the benefit of the freshmen., This time the party was a success, for initiation was permitted. When we entered high school as juniors in the fall of 1920 the girls regained political control. The results of the elections were: President. Dorothy Apple- gate; Vice-President. Eorene Miller; Secretary-Treasurer. Alice Neel; Class Adviser. Miss Nicholas. In February of this school year the class pins and rings were selected and secured. An inter-class basketball tournament was held in March, surpassing all previous contests of like nature in spirit and in closeness of scores. Several clever stunts were put on by the various classes, notably the decoration of the assembly room bv the Seniors and the transformation of the English room into the “Juniors’ Garden of Eden. Six gtunes were played, double elimination being necessary. In our first game we won easily against the Sophomores; the next was the closest of the tournament, the Seniors defeating us by a very narrow margin. Our chances for winning the tournament were slight, it being necessary to beat both Freshmen and Seniors. The former were eliminated, but the latter proved too strong for our worn-out team, and the class of '21 were again champions. All hard feelings were forgotten at the Junior-Senior banquet held in April, the best given yet----except ours” according to one senior. We look back with longing to those good old days when we were juniors, and did not have to look dignified and give a good example to “Frosh and “Soph ; but while they are gone, they will never be forgotten; then we could ‘slam’ seniors as we liked, and could go outside to cool off while the seniors sat and sweltered, waiting for Senator Kissinger to come and give their commencement address. But these pleasures are no longer ours, being now in the possession of the class of ’23. The fall of 1921 saw us a little weaker in number than when we entered three vears before, but our spirit was undiminished. At the class meeting Georgia Ash was elected President and Pauline Gresham Secretary-Treasurer. No Vice-President was elected, but we have somehow managed to get along fairly well without one. Soon after school started work was begun on the annual. The editor-in-chief and the business manager were appointed by the faculty; the remaining members of the staff were elected by the class. Pilgrimages were made to Bloomington in Decemter and January to get “shot” for the annual. After semester tests practice was begun on the class play “A Corner of the Campus which was given February 24. The class of '22 has been represented in all activities of the high school, Glenn Town, Byron James, Edgar Houghton, Burton Watt and James Ash have fought for old A. C. H. S. in football and basketball. Dorothy Applegate, Alice Neel and Lorene Miller have furnished capable leadership for athletic association activities. Indeed, the class of 22 rejxirted 100' , membership when a drive for members for the athletic association was put on in the fall of 1921. For. this Page 47 19 22 7 H K AT ALANTA endeavor we received a pennant with the class numerals. On this pennant will be placed in future years the numerals of other classes winning in similar contests. In the work of literary societies, also, we have contributed office holders; Byron James, Dorothy Applegate, Edgar Houghton, Burton Watt, Alice Xeel, Pauline Gresham, Mildred Carlock and Glenn Lown as officers of Belles Lettres and Adelphian have kept the work of these societies up to the usual high standard. And now our four years of high school have drawn to a close. We trust that the iaults we may have had when we entered in 1918 have been eliminated and that our virtues have been strengthened by the struggles we have experienced. Walton Thomson, ’22. Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’22 In the name of Buddha, Amen, we, the Senior Class, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do here make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and Testament, hereby revoking any former wills by us made.

Maggie, Atlanta. Illinois. Jiggs, Atlanta, Illinois. By Alice Neel, ’22. Senior Charge Friends, faculty and fellow-students: The time has now arrived when we, the Senior class of ’22. must sever our relations with the old A. C. H. S. It is the painful duty of our class before departing to expose the wayward faults of our beloved Juniors, and to advise them. It is very difficult to do this because their faults are varied, and many. Moreover their good qualities are few. So listen carefully to what I have to say, ye Juniors, and be not insulted if 1 condemn you harshly. As a class, you have carried your name successfully, met your obligations wisely and have apparently progressed well. But alas, as individual characters you are vain and hopeless! F'irst. let me speak of your president, Ruth Frantz. Here is the foremost evidence of vour shortsightedness. To think of choosing such a studious fanatic for your class leader! May you realize your mistake and next year choose some one less inclined to study and more devoted to the welfare of her childlike charges. Whv Juniors, there she sits, all day long, cramming her head full of senseless book knowledge and leaving the rest of you to wander helplessly into the paths of vice and destruction. Another example of this modern type of book worm is Ruby Compton, who unsparingly seeks pleasure in preparing her lessons. Ruby, may you also realize your mistake and correct this foolish habit before it is too late. ( e Seniors have long since learned the folly of study.) Page 49 1 9 22 THE ATALANTA You. Janice McAllister, are committing a crime absolutely unforgivable. How silly of you to attempt to master the Mandolin! Do you not know that life is too short and time is too precious to spend it in such a foolish manner? You must give up your musical career if you wish to he a success and become worth while. 1 do not wish to severely condemn your solitary masculine athlete. 1 larold Down, a thorn among your many roses. For he has tried so hard, poor bov. to become famous. Hut lie shall learn, from experience, what a dismal failure he is. and how hopeless is his ambition. As to you. Sylvia Arv, you are a hindrance to the progress of your class. The very idea of your attempting to carry such a simple study as Geometry and then deliberately flunking it! Do you not see what your future destiny will be if you persist in starting something von can never finish? They say. Irene Minder, that in cooking you were a scream; that your pastry would have solved the problem of modern warfare and ended the late war six months earlier. Surely you have heard that “a man’s heart is reached through his stomach.' Take heed, Irene, for what man could survive such deadly weapons. Some of us. upon reaching a certain stage of life become vain and “stuck on ourselves. Most of us get over this hut sonic of us do not. And 1 greatly fear that one of vour honorable members is permanently afflicted with this terrible malady. Emma Onstott. I beg of you, discard your powder puff and mirror, dismount from your place of celestial dreams and come down to earth again among your equals nothing to be proud of. I admit, but nevertheless your equals, the Juniors. For Donovan Ferguson here is some friendly advice. Donovan, vou are destined to reign among the fair sex but are rather shv about accepting your kinglv throne. We know that all your fair classmates glance at you from the corners of their eyes and experience extra heart beats when you are near. So why not show them that you too know your strength and can make or break a heart at will? Your one really energetic member is Anna Begolka, who is liable to become a dangerous rival to “Hill Dunham” in basket shooting. Juniors, if your masculine talent were as responsive to the referee’s whistle as is she, your team would he a winner in the little nineteen series. Hut Anna. I sincerely believe a less strenuous profession would be more suited to your type and I urge you to reconsider before making a life job of it. our most serious problem, O Juniors, is Mildred James, with her fickle ideas and frivolous notions. Like a spoiled child, she comes to school, merely to have a good time, then wonders why her deportment grades are so low. Hut what more could we really expectIt is indeed marvelous to us that one ‘big head’ carries but the little she knows. And Merlin Trigg, are you never going to learn to smoke? Can you not understand that your health is failing and that your lungs are growing weak for want of cigarettes? Consult your family doctor! Talk this matter over with your father, teachers, friends and see what they advise you. We. the Seniors, advise you to spend your loose change on some nourishing narcotic. (As an example I might mention James Ash and Burton Watt from the Senior Class. See THE AT ALANTA 19 22 what tine, husky, wide-a-wake industrious hoys they are. And I’m sure they will tell you it is all because of their smoking habit.) Last, hut not the least faulty. I wish to tell the Briggs twins, Annette and Frances, what an error they made in letting the staff know their artistic ability, lust look at our annual and see the work they expended on it! They have taken the time away from their work and spent it drawing those useless title pages etc. Now of course we appreciate their efforts and we all know that our year hook would he a failure without their contributions, hut girls, unless you have plenty of time to he spent “free gratis” I warn you to never let your art he known. And now that I have given you all the worldly advice possible, I earnestly charge you. Juniors, remember what I have said, correct your faults as best you can. and beware of the responsibilities that will come to you as Seniors. Georgia Ash, ’22. Junior Response Right honorable Seniors: In behalf of the class of 1923. it is my duty and privilege to thank you for those charitable words of advice given so voluminously by vour noted president. Miss Ash. and to assure you that each precept shall be carried out—as we capable Juniors see fit. As a matter of courtesy, 1 thank you. But with most earnest efforts we want to impress upon your breezy brains, that advice coming from such a group as you, the class of '22. is most inapplicable and most out of place, when thrust upon us efficient Juniors. The examples you have set for us, or rather the lack of them, will bear out my statement. Although you have been so indiscrete as to consider yourselves our superiors, and though you haughtily boasted of your proposed achievements, we were patient with you. But when the time came for the execution of these proposed plans and you utterly lacked competent workers, why the Juniors, taking compassion upon you in vour great distress, sympathetically came forward and rendered great service; especially on “your” Annual. Imagine what you would have done without the artists of the Junior class. It is an established fact that Seniors who have had your years of experience in High School, should be able, at least near the close of the year, to set examples for us so-called underclassmen. But we have sought in vain and would surely have despaired long ago had we not been able to rely upon our own good judgment. For instance, did you ever see a Junior come into assembly rubbing eyes that were so nearly closed that he stumbled all the way to his scat and was always from fifteen to thirty minutes late? This is true of several of our noble seniors, who offer as their only excuse, too much devotion to Morpheus instead of to Caesar, I pe. Dull. Mr. Scheer or Mrs. Bridges. Now let us consider the Seniors as individuals. Out of respect for her office, we will name Georgia Ash first. Her great love for Cicero is usually responsible for her promptness and 1 daresay, that after she has sailed through College, she will become a teacher of this great dago. Page 51 1922 THE ATALANTA Did you know that Byron and Alice like to skate? And its all right. Byron could take her home too if she so desired. We all understand that it was very late and that she had no other escort. We will admit that you seniors should boast of your Athletes Burton and h.dgar, who always did their share in “bringing home the bacon” during the basketball season. Jim Ash may have proven himself worthy of such praise had it not been for his unfortunate lameness; hut we may still say for him that he can out run all competitors in a race to Dorothy Hammitt’s house. Now let us throw the glare upon your orchestra members. Dorothy. Bvron, and Edgar should know better than to attempt to play such a difficult instrument as the mandolin, especially so late in their High School career when such a vast amount of difficult tasks must he performed. Mildred Carlock, a Maude Powell of the future, will no doubt outshine all other stars. We are wondering whom Lorene will employ to act as caddy and carry he'r'rello on her extended concert tours, hut we venture to say that her dramatic ability will surpass her musical talent. Some members of the senior class are really studious, the most outstanding examples being Pauline and Neva Gresham and Gertrude Montgomery, who are continuously pondering over their lessons. They surely ought to realize their ambitions as teachers in the near future. Glenn Down might surely become a great athlete Gut 1 sadly fear the drug profession has a greater lure for him. Can you imagine Catherine Beverly being content doing anything hut writing notes to Mildred Carlock or prolonging her period of infancy by cutting out paper dolls? It is very easy to see that Ruth Atchison and Fern Shipley give entirelv too much thought to appearances, to ever accomplish anything serious in life. As they walk down the street together it is hard to decide which is more attractive, the blonde marcel of the one or the brunette coiffure of the other. Now let us make mention of your most conspicuous and illuminated member —namely Walton Thomson: In a few years he will no doubt become a professor of Atlanta Community High School from which position he will advance bv degrees until he has at last became official fly swatter in Congress, that he might hear debates and now and then make a few suggestions to our less competent representatives. Class of 12 we do regret to see you leave us, for we realize how much you could learn by watching us Juniors a while longer. Some day next year, visit the old school and see how much we Juniors, then Seniors, shall have profited by your mistakes. Then you will feel that your school life, though most inefficient as far as you yourselves are concerned, shall not have been in vain. But that the colossal blunders you have made, have called forth those sterling qualities which we haVc always possessed to such an extent that we shall have reached that envied degree of stainless perfection, attained by so few. 'rhus you have paved the way for another and better class— the Class of 1923. As we pass on to our last year of High School work; and you Seniors with leaky boats set sail upon the vast sea of life, we will guard and heed the few suggestions which might be turned “good advice which you were capable of giving us; and in another year, pass from our fond A. C. H. S. with even more glory and honor than the Class of 1922. Ruth Frantz. '23. Pane 52 THE AT ALANTA 19 22 Senior Poem Listen good people, all of you And I’ll tell you of the Class of ’22; Of their genius, art. athletics and pep. For in all things they've proven adept. Mrs. Bridgks, our Class Adviser, Has led us straight, and made us wiser. And we owe all we have and all we are To her, our faithful guiding star. Georgia Ash holds the presidential chair; And presides at class meetings with a superior air The genius of the class is surely Walton T. For a brighter hoy in Science and Math, couldn’t possibly be. Next in the list comes Alice Neel For in knowledge she follows closely at Walton’s heel. In basketball Edgar Houghton is the star, For he surpases them all by far. Pauline Gresham at Latin is a shark; I really believe she could translate Cicero in the dark. Byron James leads all in foot-ball. Because he is brave, stalwart and tall. fimmy Ash would be an adorable lad If he'd throw away all the cigarettes he had. Did Dorothy Hammitt ever study? No, never! But if she’d try she would be quite clever. As heroine in the Senior Play Dorothy A. carried the honors away. Burton Watt is a wizard at pool; But he cares not an atom for affairs at school. About Feme Shipley there’s only one thing to say. She is pretty, flirtatious, and very gay. Page 53 19 22 THE ATALANT A Ruth Atchison will make some man a good cook. For she knows every recipe in the book. Catherine Beverly is usually bright and gay, But oh when she’s angry!! Keep out of her way. Neva Gresham, commonly called Sneed, lias all the scientific knowledge she’ll ever need. Gertrude Montgomery’s our Editor-in-chief ; Iler career will he great—that’s our belief. On the stage our own Glenn Lown Astonished the natives of this town. Lorene Miller hopes to he an artist on the ’cello. And bring forth tones, rich, deep, and mellow. But coax the dear muse as much as 1 may 'Bout Mildred Carlock she has nothing to say. And now. dear friends, to you I’ve told The virtues and vices of the Seniors hold; But one thing more I’ll tell to you: We Seniors to A. C. H. S. will forever he true! Mildrkd Carlock, ’22 Page 54 THE ATA LANTA 1922 Class Prophecy I. Shahrazad Shahrivar, seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, horn on the banks of the Tigris have been summoned to foretell the destinies of tire members of this Class of '22. In this smoke as it slowly ascends, visions appear unto me to whom all knowledge is given. Now appears before me a vision of a crowded city thoroughfare and in the midst of the crowd a beautiful limousine is slowly threading its way. Ah! I thought the face in the tonneau was familiar—of course! It is Rodolf Valentino. But who is the chaufifeurette who stands on the brakes and too-toos the horn so. prodigiously? Truly her ambition to drive a car has been realized. Yes, it isJ Mrs. Bridges, our class adviser. Suddenly she bumps another car. Rodolf is not hurt, but his Italian temper appears ruffled, and he angrily discharges his careless chaufifeurette. The car whirls away, and Mrs. Bridges is left gazing tearfully after it. Soon her eye falls on a school building—she goes in. applies for a job. is accepted; and soon is teaching hoodlum pupils again; her career as a chaufifeurette forever past. The vision fades and 1 am shown a jungle in India. A group of natives is gathered around a white woman who is talking to them very earnestly. Goodness! It is Dorothy Aimm.egaTE. A missionary? No. She is traveling for Sears. Roebuck and Co., and is selling seal-skin coats to the natives on the installment plan. I am now shown the gymnasium of a school in southern Tennessee. A boxing class is being instructed; here the fair sex are taught to defend themselves. Have 1 ever seen the instructor before? I think I—why Georgia Ash I might have guessed, for Georgia always kept in practice fighting with Jimmy. Rows of little white beds appear, and in each bed a laughing baby A “baby fold” you would all guess, and you are right. The head nurse appears, a howling baby under each arm, yet no sign of impatience is to be seen on her face, truly a lover of children,” you say. and again you are right, for it is Pauline Gresham. The figure of a man I see, a man who is working; working so hard that the sweat streams from his face. Ilis one ambition in life seems to be to finish that work! Trie man looks like James Ash; but could it be be in such an unfamiliar attitude? But wait! I see another man, dressed in the height of fashion, lying asleep on a shaded veranda. This also looks like Jimmy. .' ? ? Now appears a great crowd of people gathered around a woman who stands on a soap-box as an improvised platform. The crowd waits breathlessly for every word. It is Ruth Atchison orating on the subject Married Women Should be Allowed to Keep tlicir Maiden Names. Next 1 see a tall, fair-haired man in a small town. He goes from house to . house, enters and remains a short time at each place. You ask. is he a htiller Brush man, or a book agent, or just a bum? None of these. I cannot tell who he is, for his back is turned. Wait ! he turns, and—Jimmhy Spruce, it is Glenn Town. In the lapel of his coat he wears a button which proclaims him the State Button and Suspender Inspector of North Dakota. Page 55 THE ATALANTA 19 22 A familiar scene arises before my eyes—the interior of a school-room. But quite different from what we know, this is the interior of a log school-house away up in the ()zark mountains. A Senior English class is reciting in the lazy fashion peculiar to Senior classes. But wonder upon wonders, the teacher who is so learnedly propounding the mysteries of Macbeth is Neva Gricsham. Now 1 am shown the interior of the shop of the Great Monsieur Loisel. the world-famous creator of women s hats. A customer is in the shop and apparently none of the sales-girls can please her; finally Monsieur himself is demanded. At last the curtains slowly part and the great Monsieur |,oisel is revealed to me—and he is none other than Byron James. New York with all its hurry and bustle! But what is this? Oh, the new gum factory that is so famous; a very serious rival of the Wrigley factories. Surely all of you have chewed the famous Beveri.y Waih.ets! A limousine draws up and the owner of the factory steps out. Yes it is Catherine. She made her start by selling second-hand to the Freshies the YYadlets she chewed when she was a Senior. Now ap] ears the interior of a kitchen and a man arrayed in a faded bungalow apron bending earnestly over a wash-tub. Could this be Edgar Houghton, who always contended that a woman's place was in the home? It’s Edgar, all right. 11 is wife is in Congress, and because of the High Cost of Hiving in Washington Edgar does all the housework himself. A darkened veranda is shown me. Two figures are seated on the steps—a man and a maid. Who are they.' I can scarcelv see. the light is so dim. The maid is—yes. the maid is Dorothy Hammitt. The man—that is—the smoke obscures his face; I cannot tell who he is. The figures draw closer together, and —the screen door hangs and Dorothy’s young brother, I larland arrives at the scene. I, who have mastered the art of lip-reading can faithfullv repeat to you their conversation. “Gimme a quarter,” i larland demands, “an' I won't tell on you two.” “What do you mean ? “Aw, I saw you an’ sis last night.” “But I wasn’t here last night.” And thus ends another of Dot’s promising romances. I he vision of the interior of the patent office at Washington appears. Excitement reigns—especially among the women clerks. A wonderful invention has just been patented by Ferxe Shipley—a hair-net that will not tear. A crowded theatre now rises before me. The velvet curtains are swept aside and reveal Mildred Carlock with her violin. She is trying hard to take Maud Powells place with the public. On this occasion she does not receive as much applause as she deems proper, and leaves the stage in disgust. I see her signing a contract to play in the Deaf Institution at Delevan, Wisconsin, where she will he sure to receive plenty of applause. 1 he smoke mounts higher, revealing strange things—crowds cheering and a red object in a cloud of dust. In a flash the object disappears. There it is again! It is an auto race and the red object is the leading car. It flashes by, at the out- Page 56 1 9 22 THE AT ALAN T A rageous rate of twenty-five miles per hour, leaving belling a choking cloud of dust. But who is at the wheel? Lorene Mii.i.Er. Suddenly the car and the driver seem to dissect themselves into hundreds of pieces. What could have happened? Whv, Lorene has collided with Jimmy Ash in his Ford! (P. S.—Jimmy and his Ford are still running and in good condition.) A beautiful city church appears. The preacher has made his announcements and leans hack in his chair while the choir sings the last song before the sermon. The song is finished -silence ensues. Then a series of gentle snores are heard— the preacher sleeps. Of a truth that preacher is Burton Watt; for he always believed that if any sleeping was done he was the one to do it. A garden, wonderful silvery moonlight and—cats; yellow cats, black cats, brindle cats, mauve cats. They are vow-howling and how-yowling. They tear up the heets and succotash in that garden. W hat is it; Only Gertrude Montgomery’s “cattery. An alarm clock sails over the wall; but the cats yow-howl on. There are black, yellow and magenta cats in that garden. An aeroplane appears in the distance. As it steadily, or to he more exact unsteadily comes nearer I see printed in large letters across the wings: “General Delivery of Mail. Groceries, etc.. San Francisco to Pasadena.” Who could this pilot he who is “fanning the cold, thin atmosphere” in such a wobbly fashion? At.h e Xeei.. for a fact. She peers over the side, sees a goose flying below her. becomes excited and—Suddenly the air is filled with oranges, fish, shoe-strings, cups and saucers, neckties, lettuce, potatoes, shoes, bananas, newspapers, letters, peanuts, pop-corn, candies of all kinds, Beverly W adlets, and Alice Neel. The smoke floats aside and reveals unto me the interior of the beautiful city home of the mayor of New York. It is furnished with every luxury that money can buv; and yet the master of the house, the Mayor of New York, Wat.ton Thomson is unmindful of all this. He lies at the point of death. Bulletins stating his condition are posted for the benefit of the anxiously waiting crowds. I see them as they are posted: “Seven o’clock: Mayor in critical condition. “Eight o’clock: Mayor failing rapidly, Eight-thirty: Mayor Thomson has gone to Heaven,” “Nine o’clock: Great consternation in Heaven. Mayor Thomson has not yet arrived.” Thus 1. Shahrazard Shahrivar, For this class have prophesied. And now. Farewell, O Seniors! Farewell O Class of ’22! All my hope is centered in you; All my thoughts go onward with you; Go not where you’ll have to labor, Go not where you’ll have to suffer, Where long, hard examinations Page 57 THE AT ALANT A Wear the brain and waste the body; Soon your tasks will he completed And soon your footsteps you will turn From these regions of Atlanta To the Kingdom of all Wisdom To the Land of the Hereafter! Gertrude Montgomery, '22. Page 58 THE AT ALANTA 19 22 Athletic Association President. LorenE Miller. Vice-President, Willard Hieronymus. Secretary-Treasurer, W. C. CoE. The Athletic Association has enjoyed a very successful season, nearly even-student in school being a member. The membership drive was staged by classes and the senior class won by having every senior a member of the association. The financial standing of the association is very satisfactory. With nothing to start the season it has met all expenses and has a small surplus in the treasury. The association has purchased enough new equipment to outfit two complete teams, both in football and in basketball, so there has been no shortage of equipment as has handicapped former coaches. No season tickets were sold this year and many thought we would lose money bv not selling them; but such was not the case and the same plan will probably be carried out next year. Knthusiastic pep meetings were held before each game. Speeches by the faculty and students and school songs keyed the players and rooters up to the fighting point. One pep meeting in particular deserves especial mention. On homecoming dav a parade, participated in by grade students, high school students and alumni, marched from the school building down to the square. A crowd collected at the Chicago and Alton station and held one of the most enthusiastic-meetings of the year. The floats prepared by the different .grades were especially fine and their designers deserve a great deal of credit. l-()()TB. LL With onlv four letter men to build a team around Coach Reefer succeeded in organizing an outfit which made it interesting for several of its opponents, and while our season could not be called successful, every body was satisfied with the showing made because of the high school spirit which was shown in every game and which kept the boys going in the face of recurring defeat. As a climax two of our best men were injured before a single game had been played and were out for the rest of the season. The Atlanta High School does not have a large student body, there never being more than seventeen out for the team. This is a serious handicap when we consider that almost all of the schools which we play have a choice from an infinitely large number. Here’s to you, football men; we who understand know that you did well. Payc 61 19 22 THE ATALANTA First We Played Normal It was a battle royal, first one side and then the other had a slight advantage. Each team showed a well developed defence and after sixty minutes of battering each other the score stood 0 to 0. every one was satisfied. Then We Played Clinton on their field and our hoys developed an attack of stage fright, and while fighting, they did not give all they had. as a result Clinton walked off the field a 41 to 0 victor. Then We Played Illiopolis on our own field and they took us into camp 33 to 0. However no mie was ashamed of this game as Illiopolis has one of the best teams in central Illinois. e feel that our boys did remarkably well against them. Then We Played McLean on their field and it proved to he the best game of the season. It showed how an Atlanta team could come back after apparentlv being defeated. I he game started oft with a rush and before the first quarter was over McLean had scored on an end run. Just before the half was up they intercepted one of our passes and scored again hut tailed to kick goal. ith hut ten minutes to plav the score stood 13 to 0. I hen Houghton was sent into the game and on a series of line plunges our liacks carried the hall to the goal line where Houghton carried it over lor our first touchdown. With six minutes to plav Atlanta recovered the ball on McLean s thirty yard line from where James carried it over in two end runs, rims ended the most exciting game of the season, our first victorv. Atlanta 14; McLean. 13. Then We Played I Diversity High School. Much to our sorrow, James was out on account of injuries and the team could not get together. The result was. we received the worst lieating we had received in years, when the final whistle blew—Universitv High had accumulated 109 points to our nothing. Homecoming 1 he annual home-coming for the Atlanta schools was celebrated Fridav afternoon. November the 4th. 'I he special attraction of the dav was the Atlanta Lincoln foot-hall game and although our hoys went down in defeat thev put up a fight that satisfied the home-coming boosters. 1 he 17 to nothing score was not an unexpected result. The Atlanta team had not shown any great strength throughout the season, while Lincoln was represented h the heaviest team in its football history and has enjoved a most successful season. Realizing what we were up against, the Atlanta coach set to work to get Page 62 THE ATALANTA 19 22 the team in the best possible shape and to instil fight into the lioys. That he succeeded in doing this was shown during the first half of the game, when Atlanta played her heavier opponents to a standstill and gained more ground than Lincoln. Atlanta’s defense during this period showed up especially strong and with Janies superior punting kept Lincoln from scoring. Lincoln’s weight began to tell in the second half and after sending their heavy men against Atlanta’s light line pulled the old fake-pass trick and sent Shafer around the end for their first score. Lincoln then began sending in substitutes and by hammering Atlanta’s weakening line and varying this ofifense with open plays finally amassed a total of 27 points.

When the class of competition is taken into consideration, it may readily be seen that our boys have accomplished a great deal. 'Phe season of 1921 and lf)22 was not as successful as those directly preceding it. Several reasons may be given to account for this. The football injuries of several men kept them out of basketball and the close of the first semester, disrupted the team again as two of our regulars completed their eight semesters and were barred from further participation. The outstanding victories of the year were the defeat of Mt. Pulaski here and the double defeat of Lincoln, these victories tying us with Mt. Pulaski for the county championship. I)i:cemher 2nd—Ateanta-Hartsburg The Hartsburg boys fought hard and showed up well for their first game. The final score being 23 to 8 in favor of Atlanta. 1)ec e m be k 9th —Atlanta-Nor ma r. U-H ic h Both teams showed lack of practice and while Atlanta led up to the final minute of play, a couple of long baskets by the U-High put them in the lead, 12 to 11, when the whistle blew. Dece m bkr 1 6t h—Ateanta-Lincoln This game was played at Lincoln and as usual Atlanta took their old rivals into camp. In the first half of the game, the teams appeared to he well matched, but later our boys showed a decided superiority and won easily. The final score being 15 to 8 in favor of Atlanta. Decembkr 21st—Atlanta-Waynesville The DeWitt County boys gave Atlanta a real battle, Waynesville getting off to a flying start and for a while, it looked bad for Atlanta, but our boys came right back and after the first quarter, Waynesville never had a chance. Teal was Waynesville’s bright light. This lad causing our guards all sorts of trouble, the final score being Atlanta High 32; Waynesville, 22. January 7th—Atlanta-Glinton At Atlanta—This was a fast game with Clinton always a little in the lead. The two teams were about evenly matched in playing ability. Clinton’s long basket shooting giving them the victory, 31 to 25. January IItii—Ateanta-Mt. Pulaski This was undoubtedly the best game of the season. Mt. Pulaski has a fast team and piled up a large score before our boys got started. Then James and Hoblit got busy on long shots and tied the score. First one team, and then the other would score, and when the whistle blew, Atlanta led by one point. The score being, Atlanta 20; Mt. Pulaski, 19. Page 65 19 22 THE AT A LANTA 'I'liis was the last game for our two guards. James and I,own. as tliev had completed their eight semesters. It was a hard blow to the team, as there were no experienced men to take their places. In Lown we had one of the hest hack guards in the country, very few sneakers living made off “Andv. I ANTARY 27th—ATLANTaAVaPELI.A 1 his game was played at Wapella. Atlanta having two new guards, could not get together. Joe and Pellv played well hut the new combination did not work smoothly and when the whistle blew the score stood. Atlanta. 16; W apella. 22. February 3rd—Ati.axta-Ci.inton Played at Clinton. While our team was defeated 23 to 13 we feel that they did very well as Clinton is very hard to defeat on their own floor and our boys held them better than most of their opponents. FEbruary 9th—Atlanta-W'apki.i.a Played at Atlanta. Our hoys certainly proved the superioritv of our team it being a case of too much Kdgar Houghton. This lad being all over the floor and tossing baskets from every angle. The final score was. Atlanta. 31 ; Wapella, 16. February 10th—Atlanta-Mt. Pulaski Played at Mi. Pulaski. We were defeated 35 to 15. Considering that the Mt. Pulaski floor has such a low ceiling, that many teams refuse to play them, it is a wonder that our boys even scored. February 17th — A ti .a n t a- L i n col n Played at Atlanta. Once more our boys took the County seat into camp. Many thought we had no chance, but the boys showed these pessimists that they could play basketball (Oh Hoy—Oh Joy) and sent Lincoln home a much sadder and wiser crew. The final score being 20-13. February 18th Ati.anta-Hloomington Our boys certainly showed the effect of their game the night before. They were dead on their feet, and permitted Bloomington to annex the game by a score of 37-12. F E B R U A R Y 22 NI)-At I .A N T A-W A Y N ES VILL E Played at W aynesville. The roads were very muddy and our boys had a hard trip in a wagon to get there. They were in no condition to play and as a result were defeated by a score of 41 to 29. Teal was again the star of the game and eluded the Atlanta guards with ease. February 25th—Atlanta-McLean Played at McLean. 1 his was not as fast and snappy a game as some which the boys have played yet some flashes of real basketball were displayed. W'e won. the final score being 14-13. The Tournament We drew Bloomington for our first game in the district tournament, and while the chances were all against us, we journeyed to Bloomington with the Page 66 THE AT ALANTA 19 22 determination to make them fight for every point the final score 40-19 does not begin to show the comparative strength of the teams and on a neutral floor we would have given them a close game, as it was. we started off with a rush and gave the Bloomers a real scare. The large floor however was too great a handicap and during the last quarter Bloomington piled up a large score. POST SEASON GAMES March Stii —Ati.a nta-M cI ,Ka n Played at Atlanta in a thrilling contest which was featured by long shots hy both teams. The work of Houghton and Conover again stood out in the 27 to 24 victory for Atlanta. March 1 3th—Atlanta-Lex i ngton Played at Lexington. We were defeated 30-12. Houghton and Watt, our two first string forwards were out of the game. With our scoring machine wrecked the result of the game was never in doubt. SECOND TEAM Many people who do not understand ridicule the second team, and the work it does for the school. This is a mistake, for the members of the second team deserve just as much, if not more, credit than the members of the first team. Their lot is the hard work and knocks without the thrill of battle, except at long intervals, when they meet some other second team. In the past it has been the custom to ignore the second team, but in the last few years, many coaches have come to the realization of their worth and have scheduled games for them and in various ways given them the recognition which they deserve. Lincoln-Ati. ant a Played at Lincoln. Our team was defeated 11-14 but Lincoln has so many players to choose from, while we have so few, that we do not feel badly about this game. Ati.anta-Mt. Put.aski Played at Atlanta. This game proved to be a thriller, the two teams being about evenly matched, and only in the last minutes of the game that Joe Green came through with two long shots that won the game. Ati.anta-Mt. Pulaski Played at Mt. Pulaski. On account of the low ceiling our hoys were unable to score, while Mt. Pulaski accumulated 9 points. It was a rather slow game with neither team able to accomplish much, on account of the low ceiling. Ati.a x ta-Li n coi.n Played at Atlanta. This proved to be one of the best games of the season played bv either team. Lincoln led up to the last minute of the play when two long shots by Harold Lown put us in the lead. It was sweet revenge for that first game and the 15 to 12 victory went long way towards removing the sting of their last defeat. Page 67 19 22 THE ATALANTA At I - A N T A - LK XI NGTO N Played at Atlanta. Our hoys were defeated by a score of 32 to 11 in this, their last game of the season. This was a post-season game, and the boys did not have the necessary pep. their playing being slow and uncertain with touches of spring fever cropping out at short intervals. In the county tournament it was decided that Atlanta, Lincoln, and Mt. Pulaski must send their second teams. W e felt that it was an injustice to eliminate the eight best men in a school of this size, but the ruling was made and we had to abide by it. W’e drew Hartsburg in the first game, our second team against their first team. Hartsburg won by a score of 18 to 14 in an exciting contest, which was always in doubt. Houghton, whose injuries had kept him off the first team was easily the best man in the tournament and was given a place on the all-star team although participating in only one game. Hail to you Red and White, dear old colors so true. Once again would your children pay tribute to you, For years you’ve been standing for all that uplifts; On your sons and your daughters you’ve showered your gifts; We, sons of nineteen twenty-one—twenty-two, Have answered your call and done battle for you, With many a heart-ache and many a thrill, WVve followed your banner for good or for ill, We’ve won. and we’ve lost, but we’ve given our best, If we faltered at times, we’ve been true at the test, With the many before us who fought for your fame, And the many to come who will honor your name, W’e will keep your traditions and memories bright, Your honor, our honor, dear old Red and White.

Miss Fraser THE AT A L ANT A 19 22 Just Like a Man Matilda Iienson was an old maid in choice, disposition, and appearance. Her motto was—“Never believe a man. Her favorite saying was “Just like a man. Matilda was fifty-one years, three months, two weeks, and three days of age, approximately. She was tall, angular, sarcastic, and stern. She had a hook nose, head-like eyes, and a small knob of grey hair. Her brother John called her Tildy. Now contrary to most preconceived ideas of spinsters, Matilda hated cats almost as much as she hated men. hut she did like mules and parrots. She had an ancient white mule called Alabaster and a garrulous parrot, called Jane. Matilda said Jane could talk with more sense than most men. Brother John, like some small town bachelors, liked to loaf around the village saloon, talk politics, and try to outdistance the other loafers in spitting tobacco juice. (Matilda didn’t allow him to “chew at home). She thought that John was foolish anyway to hang around a saloon, hut that was just like a man. One night John came home from the saloon very late and tried to sneak in without disturbing Tildy. Alabaster suddenly let out an unbelievably loud hee-haw and Jane flapped her wings and shrieked.'“Why. John, how late you're coming home. Just like a man!” Then Tildy queried, “That you. John?” “Yes. it’s me,” John shouted. “Now don't yell. John. I’m not deaf and goodness knows it’s had enough to get home late without veilin' about it yet. John shook his fist in the direction of the barn and muttered. “You blasted mule, I got a notion to knock your blasted head off. “My goodness, John’s swearin',” shrieked Jane. “Just like a man. “Now. John. 1 told you to stop swearin’,” admonished Matilda. “I wasn’t swearin’,” John grumbled. ' “There you go. tellin’ lies. Just like a man! I know you was swearin . Jane never tells lies about anything.” , . , “All right, believe your crazy old parrot if you want to. Anyway. 1 m goin west tomorrow.” And after manv discussions and scoldings, John packed up and went west. Then one morning a few months later a very lonely Matilda received the following telegram: “Your brother badlv injured. Come at once.” _ Matilda locked up the house, had Alabaster loaded on the train, took Jane’s cage in her hand, and embarked for the west. She alighted from the train at Willoughby Junction and found that she must travel by stagecoach over twenty miles of rough mountain road in order to reach John. The stagecoach left Willoughby Junction early in the morning. Inside was a fat boisterous man. a Chinese cook, a pale scholarly-looking man. a quiet mvsterious looking individual. Matilda, and Jane. Alabaster plodded along behind tied to the coach by a halter. “My goodness,” thought Matilda, “me hatin men as 1 do and then havin' to ride twenty miles with four of 'em. The fat gentleman attempted to carry on a conversation with Matilda, but after receiving a look that would have frozen a red-hot coal, he found the landscape very attractive. . When the first ten miles had been traversed the quiet man stirred, sat upright, brandished a huge revolver, and cried, “Gimme yer money, folks, or you blink Page 73 THE ATALANTA 19 22 out. In dumb amazement the passengers handed over their valuables, even Matilda. I or once in her life she was afraid of a mere man. such a murderous looking man. too. The bandit gathered his loot together, compelled the driver to stop the coach; then, untied Alabaster, mounted her, and rode awav through the brush. I'lie coach continued its journey. Matilda bewailing all the way the loss of her dear Alabaster, while Jane screamed. “Stealing! Just like a man! On reaching the mining camps, the coach stopped before a large building of newlv hewn lumber. Above the door was a large board, bearing the printed word “Hotel. A man jumped off the porch and ran to the coach. It was John. Matilda flapped out of the coach and stood still in astonishment. “Why. John, she almost screamed. 1 thought you were dead or about so and here you are well as ever. By me wild-goose chasing out here after you. I’ve lost mv poor Alabaster, and anyway ’twas no use cornin’.” “Well, you see. sister Tildy. it’s this way. 1 built this here hotel but I couldn’t find no woman to run it like I ’lowed you could, so I thought of sendin’ that telegram.

But let me tell you. if it wasn’t for fear of meetin’ that awful robber again I’d walk back right now.

Matilda eyed the foreigner askance. “Well for people’s complexions, white is my favorite color, she stated, “but mebbe he’ll do, tho’ he can’t replace mv poor, dear Alabaster. To think I brought her all the way out here just to let a gunman run off with her. “I’ll buy you another donkey. Alabaster was about old enough to die anyway.” “Alabaster wasn’t a donkey and she wasn't as old as am. Old! Humph!” Matilda and John entered the hotel still arguing and just as thev entered the door Jane began to sing. “Home. Sweet Home” at the top of her voice. Alice Keel, '22. The Rattle of the Blue Cap bar out on the heaving mass of blue and gold Sunset Lake a tiny speck could be seen. It looked like a blue cap perched on the crests of the gigantic waves. It was, indeed, the line Cap. the patrol boat of Sunset Lake. Many careless tourists had been snatched from the jaws of death by the gallant captain of the Blue Cap. It was late in the afternoon of a hot, sultry August day and manv boats specked the sparkling waves. The carefree boaters little heeded the black, lower-ing mass of clouds ball covering the sapphire sky. Suddenlv a gust of wind sent the light skiffs dancing. Page 74 7 H E A 7 A L AN 7 A 19 22 Here and there the Blue Cap danced over the mountains of water, under the guidance of her capable captain. Xelson. who was at the wheel; while Sambo, the helper, watched the lowering clouds. “Gettin’ prettv rough, massa. as the courageous Blue Cap j oised like a bird on the top of a giant wave, then swooped down into a trough. 1 he spray of the sudden dive half blinded Captain Xelson hut he held the wheel rigidly. “Sambo.” he called with all his strength, trying to make himself heard above the wailing of the wind. “There's the Sea Cull over west of us. Only two girls aboard. Get the rope ready; I’ll guide the Blue Cap over and you toss it as soon as we're near enough.” Using all his strength, Xelson turned the boat out of the trough and abreast of a huge wave. The sudden turn sent it spinning like a top to the foam-covered crest of the wave. In an instant he had it in command. He bore straight down upon the Sea Cull, about half a mile distant. Sometimes the light skiff was swirled like a feather to the top of a mountainous wave, its white ribs gleaming in the strange, lurid glare of the fast approaching storm. Again, it floundered helplessly in the valleys of the waves. Xear and nearer Nelson coaxed the Blue Cap. ()nly a few rods separated them when the rain came with a hollow, swishing roar, Everything was blotted out by a curtain of rain. The wind ceased suddenly. Through the mist Xelson saw the skiff standing still. He turned the Blue Cap toward it and said to Sambo, “Throw the rope; and throw it hard. I he coil of rope shot out like a hissing snake- and fell short. One of the girls, in a white middy and blue skirt, tried to catch it. As she threw her body forward the Sea Cull gave a quick, spasmodic jerk, and capsized. “l)e good Lawd help 'em. said Sambo, clasping his hands and looking up at the streaming sky. Nelson’s face turned an ashy gray. “Sambo those were Camp hire girls. What can we tell Miss Edwards, their guardian?” “Look, massa. dere dey he!” shouted Sambo, pointing across the lake. There sure enough, were the girls clinging to the boat which bobbed up and down like a cork. Nelson plunged into the lake and swam to the Sea Gull, laking one girl at a time he got them safely to the Blue Cap. He climbed aboard, took the wheel and guided the boat to the summer resort. A crowd of people stood on the wharf watching for their return. Miss Edwards earnestlv thanked Xelson for saving the lives entrusted to her care. Xelson was awarded a gold medal, but he said afterward that “a human life is worth more than a hundred gold medals.” Anna Bkcoi.ka, 23. Page 75 19 22 THE ATALANTA To The Dot Big Tim. the political Boss of the underworld, chuckled as he watched the solemn line of the jury as they filed out of the court ante-room. This powerful crook tried for the murder of one Tom Jason, even though he knew that the verdict was to he hopelessly against him, actually chuckled. Rafferty, the patrolman, who sat beside him. ever alert, turned quickly in his chair. “Sa-ay! are yuh goin’ hats? Laughin’ and ’lectric chairs don’t mix. Listen to that.” he added as the Judge read the words of death. “One Timothy Brodigan, charged with murder in the first degree, sentenced to die in the chair.” The date having been set for the execution, the case was pronounced closed. Tim Brodigan shuddered the least hit when he heard his sentence; the sentence which doomed him to die. Although things had been prepared carefully for his escape by trusted “outside” friends, Big Tim feared a slip. A little delay would make the whole plan impossible. But lie thrust aside all conflicting emotions as he was pushed into a taxi which would take him to the jail—maybe. He had recognized Slim at the wheel, so he knew things had panned out aright. Seated between two deputies Tim jostled and shook to the rhythm of the moving car. Then—the taxi skidded into an alley, the engine stopped. Slim, the driver, turned a “gat upon the pair of astonished sheriffs; and two more of Big Tim's cherished fences popped into the car and whisked him off to safety. The crook remained in hiding long enough to grow a thick beard, and taking his hoard of ill-gotten gain with him, stepped boldly into the street and walked briskly toward the railway station. He felt safe from detection in his disguise of old clothes and heavy beard, for, as Slim had said at parting, “his own mamma wouldn’t a' knowed ’im.” Purchasing an extra from a news-boy he chuckled over the crimson headlines glaring out in type three inches high: BIG TIM WAS TO HAVE BEEN ELECTROCUTED TODAY. ‘A es. he mused, “this is the day June 21st. But they didn't get me. Let’s see. it’s five till nine and the time set was nine to the dot. Ha! Ha! The mirth faded from his lips as he saw Patrolman Rafferty eyeing him curiously. 'This man if any would be sure to recognize him. Quickening his steps and hiding his face deep in the paper, he rushed forward. “Hey, you!” Rafferty’s voice! Big Tim recognized an authorative note in that voice. “Hey. you fool! Watch where you’re going!” But the now fully frightened crook plunged blindly on. 11 is right foot, thrust forward, came down upon nothing. He tottered for a moment upon the edge of the big circular chasm and then went plunging into the mass of high voltage wires of the electric conduit, flis scream was drowned out by the snap and hiss of the powerful current as it tore about his writhing body. An uptown clock struck the hour of nine. Harold RkisE. Page 76 1 9 2 9 L •St ' THE AT ALANT A Professor Merry Professor II. ().

He was short and thin, and a mop of sandy red hair crowned his diminutive anatomy. 1 le was usually good natural, hut, as would he supposed from a glance at his head he had a fiery temper. In spite of his size he was star and quarterback on the Coleville High football team. As is usual, trouble came at the worst possible time. Coleville was scheduled to play Hilltop, its most bitter rival on Friday. The trouble came Wednesday; while running through signals Miller, the sub-quarter, stepped on Red’s hand and scratched it up a bit. Impulsively Red leaped up and struck him. The coach, who was standing near, interposed and demanded that since the rough play had been unintentional on Miller’s part. Red should apologize or turn in his suit. When Red once thought a thing was right or wrong it was hard to change his mind. So he returned. “I won’t apologize to a guy for hittin’ him when he deliberately stepped on my hand—not on your life. 1 guess I’ll go dress.” The next day Red did not go out to watch practice. He knew there wasn’t another regular quarter to replace him. lie knew that to uphold the honor of the school they must win that game. He could not play if he didn’t apologize; and he would not apologize for a thing he considered right. Friday afternoon Red was at the field to watch the game. Coleville started the yells, and Hilltop tried to drown them out. Rivalry was keen. At last the game started. Hilltop kicked oflf. Bliss caught the ball and ran fifty yards, seeming to be down several times but always getting up and going on again. Coleville's ball; just down on the forty-yard line. Ten to go. Two line plunges and an end run; two to go. A pass, intercepted by Hilltop. “That boy’s a real winner. Get him Miller!” yelled Red. “Golly! a touch-down! Miller ought to have had him. Hang it all. I wish I was in there.” But someone had to get the first touch-down; and Coleville came back strong. The quarter ended with the ball in Coleville’s possession on the forty-yard line. There they lost it on downs. Hilltop slowly worked their way to the forty-yard line where Coleville held and Miller punted. The Hilltop safety caught the ball on the run; eluded the entire Coleville team—another touch-down! But oh Joy! They missed the try for goal. Hilltop, 13; Coleville, 0. “Gee-whiz! when we get the ball we can’t do a thing with it,” thought Red.” They’re fighting all the time for the honor of the school. Guess I didn’t think much about the honor of the school or 1 would have apologized. They’re fightin' all right, but there seems to be something lacking. What’s the matter now? Gee-whiz! Miller’s hurt! Who will substitute!” Carpenter, a Freshman, substituted. “Carpenter doesn’t know beans about football. I’m going to apologize and get into this game yet.” Red ran down and apologized to the hurt Miller, who forgave him gladly. Then he went to the coach who said he could dress. The score was 13-0 at the end of the first half. When the second half began that something which had been lacking showed itself. After a hard uphill fight Red carried the ball over for a touch-down. He kicked goal and the score at the end of the third quarter stood: Hilltop, 13; Coleville, 7. Coleville kicked off, a beautiful run by Hilltop. Coleville held on the twenty-yard line; an onside kick and it was Coleville’s ball in mid-field. Only two more minutes to play! A long pass from Red to Bliss and the game was won; 14 to 13! Joe Green, ’25. Page 80 19 22 THE AT ALANTA Society Items SOPHOMORE WIENER ROAST On the evening of September 23 the Sophomores gave a picnic for the benefit (?) of the Freshmen.—Juniors and Seniors being invited for manners’ sake. The picnic took the form of a wiener and marshamllow roast and was held at Moore’s Mill, that spookey and haunted spot being deemed by the worthy “Sophs” as being the most suitable place to initiate their “inferiors.” A lovely fire was kindled on top of the hill by certain heroic gentlement (Profs, included) ; others of the most polite young men became very much engaged in securing sticks for roasting the wieners (for themselves and otherwise—’nuf said!) The wieners and buns were divided equally (?). Onions figured strongly. Later the crowd played many interesting games—mosquitoes being “three deep” with every one. Now, as for the initiation of the Freshmen—how could words express it? (Really the “Sophs” were quite lenient). The picnic broke up at length and the Sophomores voted it a grand success. So say we all of us! CHRISTMAS PARTY The honorable and dignified students of the High School lapsed into their former childish ways on the afternoon preceding the Christmas vacation, when they one and all joined in an old fashioned Christmas Tree party. The “Gym” was decorated profusely with red and green crepe paper and the tree, secured by the faculty for the occasion, was all aglitter with tinsel and bright lights. Santa Claus dashed in and gave to each little boy and girl some small gift—however some such gifts came in very large packages. The faculty treated the students to punch and lady fingers and, with the same feeling of good will, the latter gave their most honorable teachers a five pound box of chocolates. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman party was held on the evening of February 18, in the High School Gymnasium; the guests were the High School students and faculty. Very attractive and appropriate invitations, consisting of hatchets decorated with a cluster of cherries, the date and place, were made and distributed by the invitation committee. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the school colors, red and white. The presence of rugs, easy chairs, victrola and flowers added to the artistic as well as the homey atmosphere. Needless to say. the little cozy corner was the most popular spot for “blushing maids and bashful lads. After some time spent in playing games and listening to music a short program was given by members of the Freshman class. The first number was “John Brown’s Daughters Went A’fishing, which was sung by several of the girls in costume. They responded to an encore with “John Brown’s Baby Has a Cold upon its Chest.” The next number was a reading bv Henrv Neel, entitled “Well 1 Will.” Last but not least came a stunt known as “The Croquette.” tl was exceedingly funny and proved the histrionic ability of some of our Freshmen. Dainty refreshments consisting of meat sandwiches, pickles and lemonade, were served. Following which the guests departed—leaving the poor “Freshies” to finish their task.

Thus the Seniors and Faculty were summoned to the annual banquet given by the Tuniors, April twenty-eighth, nineteen hundred twenty-two. at the Christian Church. Upon arriving at the appointed hour the guests were greeted by a sailor lad in blue and ushered into a beautifully decorated reception room. “A moment, please,” Mr. Reader “Surely you wish to see that room As the guests behold it.” In the spacious hall lighted by several beautiful floor lamps one espied many easy chairs and here and there a little sette with room just for two. A piano attracted a group of listeners to one corner of the room and not far removed punch and wafers invited one to linger awhile. Flowers and ferns, artistically arranged, added to the pleasant atmosphere of the whole. The crv. ‘Ship Ahoy.’ called the guests into the dining room where they were greeted by the semblance of a huge ship decorated in purple and gold, the Senior class colors. 'Phis craft. Good Fellowship, by name, resolved itself into tables at which the feasters were comfortably seated. Purple and gold candles furnished the onlv illumination. The favors were small hunches of violets tied with dainty hows of gold ribbon. The nut cups consisted of small purple boats with gold sails on which was inscribed the menu and program and the tiny banner which waved from the top of the sail served as a unique place card. The feast was very delicious and skilfully served by several Sophomore girls, known as ‘Tars.’ Each dish bore a peculiar name which reminded one of the brinv deep.
