Page 11 1924 The Atalanta A Tribute As, musing now my pen I take A story to unfold, A story of our class and mates, And all its members bold, I cannot help but think of her Who all these four years past, Has looked and watched with tender eve And seen us through at last. Our grades she makes so true and fair, All students likened unto sheep, Enjoying each the shepherd’s care. No matter how high the hill or steep, How hard the day or long. No matter what we think or do Or to what class belong, She still our guide is true. Y hen physics is hard and days are long. And our annual’s not near through. When problems in geometry go wrong And there’s civics all to do; We take our troubles all to her. She solves them one and all. But now we know the end is near For she’s our principal. J. W. H. ’24.

Such nerve! To wait until the last minute to cal for the lengthv historv of such a class! Oh. Spirit of Eloquence, give me the power to do justice in such a limited time to the brilliant career of the illustrious outfit of 1926. Page 25 The Atalanta 1924 It was Autumn 1922. The corn was threshed, the potatoes husked, and the onions shocked. Ducks, millionaires, and hobos flew to their southern homes. Coal went up; screens came down; spring hats appeared. There was no doubt about it. Autumn had come. And in Autumn. Atlanta High opens. Charlie returns from his vacation at Funk's Grove, mows the lawn, wakes the faculty, rings the bell, and A. C. H. S. is ready for business. Then it was that the Class of '26 came—with minds unsoiled by learning. The first year was one of discovery. Within a week we could locate the mathematics room blindfolded, and before the year was out we could tell over half of the faculty if we saw them in the halls with their arms full of books. We learned why Dan Edmondson goes out for athletics, wdiere Billie Gulick gets his neckties, when Dale Frantz sleeps, how Bill Peifer curls his hair, where the laugh comes in on Prof. Coe’s jokes, and whether Coach Wilson bleaches his hair or blacks his eye-brows. The officers who served during this turbulent period were: Harry Gipson, President; Marjorie Crandall. Vice-President; Colene (loose. Secretary-1 reas-urer; Mr. Scheer, Class Advisor. During our Sophomore year we had a good time, that was all. It is rumored that some studied, but this is merely accidental and should not be held against us. Marian Haines was our President; George Xeel. Vice-President; Eunice Leach, Secretary-Treasurer; Mr. Coe, Class Adviser. As up the hill of life we go This year we were guided bv Mr. Coe; With a steady hand and a heart that’s true He’s been our adviser, and good friend, too. The entire high school was saddened by the death of Dale Chrisman in October, but perhaps he is more greatly missed by our class, of which he was a popular member. At the end of the year we look back on a long line of conquests: wiener roast initiation of the Freshmen—class party—Sopohomore stars in athletics— Julius Caesar! here's Willard at my elbow asking for my stuff. But one word more, watch the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Six! Shirley Colene Hoosk, ’26. Page 27 Colors: Azure Blue and White. The Atalanta 19 2 4 Reveries of an Ink Bottle “I am an ink bottle on a desk in the assembly room of A. C. H. S. My owner is a member of the Sophomore class. 1 know, because 1 heard her say that her class was the best in High School. 1 see her coming now; wonder what she’s up to. I hear her say. “Oh, Gee! I have to write a theme. 1 hate themes and I'd much rather write letters. My cork is forcibly removed and a pen jabbed angrily into mv contents. With the first word a big blot of ink drops and a new start is made. Another jab. A subject is selected, one paragraph written. “Down the aisle rush two girls, exactly alike; they must be twins. Both yell at once and in the same tone of voice. ‘Let me borrow your ink. In the scuffle which follows, 1 am grabbed by one, jerked by the other, and as a result, half of my contents is spilled on the dress of one of them. The other wins the fight but as she sets me on her desk, a boy with curly hair races down the aisle looking for someone or something, knocks me oft my new desk, and I am broken into a thousand pieces. Mv contents are wasted and not one theme completed. Coi.enk Hoose, ’26. Page 29 The Atalanta 1924 Freshmen President . Francis Trigg Vice- -President Marian HiEro Secretary-Treasurer . C. A.

Miller Freshman Class History September 3. 1924. the illustrious Class of '27 that had been graduated so famously from the junior high school the preceding June, entered the assembly as green (?) freshies. After much bustle and excitement they settled down and elected their class officers. Prof. k. A. Scheer was chosen class adviser, Francis Trigg. President; Marian Hieronymus, Vice-President; Clarence Miller, Secretary and Treasurer. They have up to the present time held one bakery sale and one sandwich sale at school, which was the first of its kind to be held. Both these affairs were marked successes and show that the freshies can make monev. On Friday. February 1. the freshies gave their annual high school treat. The high school was treated to a theater party after which they enjoyed light refreshments at the Wisteria. All enjoyed the show which was Hail the oman and went heme very ( ?) well satisfied with their new friends, the Freshmen. The freshmen are going strong and having a good time. I hey hope to show the rest a good time and leave behind them footprints on the sands of time. M. V. L.. '27. Page 31 Jt ymif CgM U' The Atalanta 19 2 4 The Forgotten Jail I was just at the age where i had more imagination than common sense. Our neighbors were all grown folks, my other brothers and sisters were too old to play with me so I played with die cat and chickens. Of course they could not carry on a conversation with me, hut I let my imagination fill in that part In-making up their speeches. This made them better companions than my playmates, because what they said always pleased me. One afternoon in August I played “Jail” with about half a dozen chickens. After chasing them for about half an hour, I finally succeeded in getting them locked up in a small coop. 1 then went to the house to cool off. The days that followed were the hottest of the season. One morning our telephone rang and Mother said that it was Uncle Will and that he was coming for dinner. Now Uncle Will was a minister. His coming meant that I must wash my hands and face, put on a fresh dress, and with it my best behavior. Uncle Will arrived in due time and my mother and I proceeded to entertain him, while my oldest sister prepared dinner. We talked about our health, the weather, and finally about chickens. My mother said she had some pure bred barred-rocks and asked if he wouldn't like to see them. He said that he would, so all three of us went out to the chicken yard to see those wonderful chickens. Mother looked for the chickens in their usual pen but they were not there. Searching around she came to the coop that had been a jail three days before. The sight she saw when she opened the door of the coop must have been very surprising indeed from the expression on her face. Just two of her pure bred chickens were alive; the rest had suffocated. 1 had not meant to pick on the pure breds, but they just happened to be the ones 1 chose for playmates, and then after 1 had captured the prisoners 1 had forgotten all about them. Mother was angry and sent me into the parlor without my dinner so that .1 would know how it felt to go without anything to eat, as 1 had made the chickens do. However I did not mind going without my dinner so much as having my uncle think me so wicked and cruel. M.

President’s Address Friends of the Ci.ass of 1924:—It is with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that we assemble on this occasion, one of the last few times that we shall meet as a class of the Atlanta Community High School. It is with pleasure that we realize that the goal of the past four years has been reached and that we are soon to begin a new work for which our past efforts have prepared us; yet it brings sadness to dwell on the thought that only once again will the members of this class assemble as students of A. C. H. S. As the time of leaving school draws near we begin to appreciate the many things done for our pleasure and profit. First of all we wish to express gratitude to the citizens of Atlanta and to the Board of Education who have made it possible that our high school he one which students are proud to call their Alma Mater. To our faculty we express gratitude for their untiring efforts in our behalf. We hope that as we travel further on life’s pathway their counsel, kindness, and interest may bring forth a strength of character which will prove a slight reward for the hardships we have unknowingly caused them. Of the comradeship with our fellow students we have most pleasant memories. Mav they realize early in their high school course, that four years of splendid opportunity are open to them. 1 wish to thank my classmates for the honor given me when they chose me as their president. This expression of confidence has been much appreciated. It has been my purpose to serve them in such a way that there would be no regret that this responsibility had been assigned to me. Piujc 49 19 2 4 The Atalanta In choosing the motto “Deeds not Dreams” the class of 1924 has expressed a determination to work, to plan for a life of activity, not a life of idle dreams. Honest labor which benefits humanity in any way has its part in making history and in creating that self respect which makes life worth while. Our work at first may seem unimportant but opportunity for great deeds comes only after gain of strength by having done small tasks well. As we go forth from the halls of old A. C. H. S. may we ever he loyal to the ideals and memories of our Alma Mater. Class History The Class of '24 is about to score. The game has been a long one and a hard one but we have come through triumphant. Some of our dreams have been realized and have been changed into deeds. After eight long years of struggle in the grades the Class of ’24 met in the halls of A. C. H. S. on September 13, 1920, to begin the High School routine which they have since followed so closely. This was the first year for the Atlanta Community High School and we were very fortunate in having Mrs. Bridges as principal and Mr. R. A. Scheer as superintendent of schools, teachers who have been with us all through high school. Our first participation in the social activities of the high school was as rather unwilling victims of an initiation party which the Sophmores gave at Moore’s Mill. However we all survived the ordeal and felt that we now possessed full membership in the A. C. 11. S. On Halloween we had the entire student body and faculty as our guests at an informal party in the gymnasium. September 1921 marks the opening of our Sophomore year. We were not so numerous as before but we had grown in wisdom. We gave a party to the entire student body at Leaches Hill where we had the pleasure of initiating the “Freshies.” After this nothing happened of sufficient importance to draw our minds from the usual grind of the school room, which this year included Caesar and Plane Geometry. At the beginning of the school year in 1922 the class of '24 met and, realizing the numerous duties ahead, immediately elected its officers. They were: Pres. Philip McCullough; Vice-Pres., Donald Hammitt; Sec-Treas., Pearl Trigg; and Class Adviser, Miss Edna Thompson. During the year we were guests at several school parties and especially enjoyed the one which the “Freshies” gave in the gymnasium on St. Patrick's day. Me also learned how to conduct bakery sales and run “movies” successfully and besides, the history of all the “ions” from “a” to “z.” On May 16th in the parlors of the Christian Church we were hosts to the seniors and faculty at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. This marked the close of our third year of high school, except for a few tests which were to he our stepping stones to the “seats by the windows. Jn September, 1923 we enrolled as Seniors. The thought that we were soon to leave the dear old A. C. H. S. sobered us and we settled down to work our very best during our last year in high school. With brilliant foresight we chose as President. Priscilla Beverly; Vice-President, Norma Schmidt; Sec-Treasurer Margaret Snook; and as our Class Adviser Mrs. Bertha Bridges, who has been with us Pane 50 The Atalanta 1924 through our high school career. Things began to happen and in a short time we were wearing our rings and pins, which are of white gold and of which we are very proud. We decided to carry on the custom of editing the year book and immediately set to work on the third volume of the Atalanta. With Willard as Editor-in-Chief and Norma as Business Manager the work progressed rapidly and we are glad to have the pleasure of leaving with the school and the many alumni a record of the events for the year of 1923-24. During the year we have been the most favored guests on many occasions and especially at the Junior-Senior banquet given hv the class of ’25 in the parlors of the Christian Church March 21. 1924. Another long to he remembered party was the one given bv our president, Priscilla, on April 5, at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Kate Adams. All had a most enjoyable time and the already strong feeling of friendship between the members of the class of ’24 grew stronger. During our high school career we took active part in all scholastic activities. In our first vear we furnished one declaimer, one debater, and a member each on the football and basketball teams. In our Sophomore year we added another to the list in athletics and two in orchestra, besides three officers for the Belles Lettres Literary Society. Last year we furnished the bulwarks of the football and basketball teams, having a captain in each. We continued to play an active part in debate, orchestra and track, although our representative in declamation had withdrawn from school. This year our participants remain the same in numbers but we have grown in earnestness. It happens that we are the first class to have s] ent our entire four years in the A. C. H. S. and we believe that we can say that we did no discredit to the “C” that was put in the revered A. H. S. In leaving the school that shall never he forgotten by us we have mingled feelings of sorrow and joy—sorrow because we cannot linger longer in the dear old A. C. H. S. with the faculty and students there and enjov the pleasures we once did—joy because of the future that is open to us because of the efforts of the School Board and Faculty. Senior Charge Friends, Faculty and Members of Old A. C. H. S.:—As we Seniors near the close of this, the last year to be spent within the walls of our Alma Mater, our greatest desire is to feel that the efforts we have put forth to guide our understudies, the Juniors, have not been made in vain. The Junior class as a whole and as individuals, are the best examples of the Darwinian theorv that have yet been discovered. For in truth, they are veritably the missing link. But let them not be discouraged. Under the careful tutelage of the Seniors they have emerged from that monkey age, when as freshmen their clumsy efforts to imitate the upper classmen furnished us much amusement, to the inframan stage in which we now find them. We trust that if they follow the advice which they are about to receive they will rise still higher in the scale of development and enter upon their last year of school worthy successors of the class of 1924. Page 51 192 4 The Atalanta My dear Juniors, we have not compared you to the monkey for the purpose of offending you, but merely to bring to your attention, more clearly, the great responsibility that is awaiting you as Seniors and to point out to you your varied and numerous faults. Let us first turn our gaze upon Harriet Turner, the president of your supposed]}’’ illustrious class. In this instance, as in all others you have shown a great lack of judgment. Although Harriet is by far the sweetest and most lovable member of your class she is too fragile and delicate to be carrying the weighty problems that rest upon the shoulders of a class president, especially such a troublesome class as vours. There are three of your members who so persistently and so contentedly enjoy the company of each other that it seems only fitting they should receive advice from us successively. The first member of this trio to be brought to your attention is Miss Frances I)e la Here, one of the most conceited and vain young women that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Frances, if you do not cease to give your pretty vanities such a vast place in your life you will live to be an Old Maid surrounded bv cats and canaries. Now we will take in consideration Mildred Gilchrist, a little girl who very greatly needs to adopt one of the best examples set forth and faithfully observed by the Seniors, that of unselfishness. Another fault of Mildred's that needs correcting is her willingness to lay her head upon a young man's shoulder. Dear girl, at any and all times hold yourself aloof! And now we come to the Theda Hara of your class, Madamoiselle Rose Squier. She likes tall men, she likes short men, she likes fat men and thin, but the one she likes the best is neither fat nor thin. We are now approaching the daintiest member of your class. Miss Gwendolen Elizabeth Miller. Gwennie, if you wish to have this nicest of all adjectives used in describing your appearance, install a radio in your home, give up your lazv and indolent habits, rise at six-thirty every morning, faithfully follow the instructions for reducing and we guarantee that you will lose a hundred pounds a week. The advice which we wish to give to Eldon Givens is that pertaining to his love affairs. We understand that last fall he attempted to win the friendship of a girl who is almost unattainable. Eldon, we advise you to purchase “Advice To The Lovelorn,” a literary masterpiece which will help you in winning the favor of this disdainful young lady. And remember these words, “Faint heart ne’er won fair lady.” One of your members has a characteristic which, if possessed in a smaller quantity, would be quite charming. We are referring to Edith Brown whose excess shyness keeps her from becoming a brilliant young student. e wish to call Lena Riley’s attention to the fault which most exasperates her schoolmates. It has occasionally happened that when one of us has violated one of the rules of the school or participated in some small piece of mischief, Lena has called the teacher’s attention to the misdemeanor. So we wish to impress upon her mind one fact which has been found true throughout the ages, that all the world dislikes a tattler. Page 52 The Atalanta 19 2 4 In Burnell Miller are found many of the characteristics that were possessed by Daniel Webster, who was considered one of the greatest American orators. You Juniors should be proud and should make an attempt to encourage Burnell, for he has the honor of being the only literary star among you. As for you Louise Beverly, come down to earth. You have sailed in the air and lived with your head in a cloud long enough. You must be made to understand that no one ever knows all there is to know in the world and although you may be bright and your grades of the best, there are many in vour class far superior to you. We fear that Alberta Swearingen will never make an important mark in this world for herself because of her inability to be on time. Alberta, promptness occupies a large and important place in the lives of all great people, therefore if you do not overcome this fault of yours you are doomed to die a failure. The world believes that Caruso is dead but they have made a grave mistake. His voice may still be heard in that of Henry Neel, who will sometime become the world’s greatest tenor. Juniors, do not spurn Henry’s attentions for some day you will welcome the chance to worship at his feet. Audra Rogers, we would deem it wise for you to exchange some of your quietness for a little of Rose Squier’s loudness, making you both more evenly balanced. All Atlantans will remember Walton Thomson, a bright lad and a member of one of the greatest classes ever graduated, that of 1922. The Juniors are the proud possessors of his sister. Miss Ruth Thomson, who will be to the class of ’25 as Walton was to the class of ’22. We Seniors hardly know how to sympathize with you on account of your inefificient athletes as all of our boys have been most successful in that branch of school activities. But there is some consolation for you in the knowledge that Wayne Chrisman has kept your athletic career from becoming a complete failure and much credit is due to Wayne. Thus we come to the last but not least member of your class, Mamie Mapes, a verv talented young lady. Mamie, you have shown great musical ability, but do not follow in the footsteps of some of your classmates and become conceited over this divine gift of yours. Keep a level head and we feel certain that success will be yours. In closing. I charge you. Juniors, to remember these words of wisdom so that when another vear rolls by and you occupy the responsible position as Seniors you will be prepared to lead your undergraduates to victory, Norma Schmidt, ’24. Junior Response Respected School Mates of the Class of ’24:—We thank you for the manv and clever words of advice you have just spoken. e realize it has always been customary for the departing Senior class to show the Juniors, remaining behind them, how they can remedy their faults so as to best guide old A. C. H. S. Page 53 19 2 4 The Atalanta through the trials and troubles of the following year. However, in this case it was undoubtedly an absurdity, as the class of ’25 has from even its Freshmen days, shown itself to possess in marked degree the most desirable qualities given to mankind. Now let us take the Senior class as a whole. What little you have done to forward the honor of your Alma Mater! True, you have had some basketball and football stars, but there are more in school equally as good and showing promise of being even better some day. You contributed something to declamation, but we Juniors greatly excelled you there. Whether this was due to unwillingness to exert yourselves, or to inability, we do not know. Further you entered no one in the vocal contests, although I believe there are some of your members who hope to achieve notice in that line sometime. Being very good at arguing when in the wrong, we must admit that you as a class have talent for debating. But oh, Seniors, we the class of ’25 are now going to show how. not only as individuals but also as a body, you fall short of fulfilling the requirements of ideal Seniors First, let us comment on your honorable President, Priscilla Beverly. Priscilla has made you a fine president, class of ’24, but you should have followed her teachings more closely. For one thing she made herself popular throughout school. She is well liked by Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors—Sophomores especially adore her. However. Priscilla’s faults are many. For instance she cannot hope to retain the attentions of her many admirers if she does not, as a graduate, decide to grow up. Child prodigies are too numerous to lie noticeable. Next on vour list comes Ruth Coffman. Ruth is an unassuming child who is also popular in school, but Seniors, we fear she has much to learn concerning so many subjects. It is a delicate question, as we do not wish to speak too severely, but still we feel that we must, as a preacher would say, bring the truth home to her. Ruth's smile and her ability to play “Last Night on the Back Porch” will carry her a long way. Marie Conklin who never seems to fall short of what is expected of her. is our next subject. Marie, one thing we ask of you, please do not take life too seriously Hang on the walls of your bedroom and inscribe in your heart this motto, “Life is But a Dream.” We know, if you always remember this, the troubles which now seem so big will appear minute and insignificant. Your chum. Mildred Curtis, is much like you and should follow practically the same advice. Mildred is always calm and sweet-tempered, but we do wish that some noon before school has started she would tear into the assembly, slam the door behind her and dance down the aisle singing “Barney Google in a very loud voice. Silly it may sound, but effective it would he beyond doubt. Furthermore it is what we, the Juniors, advise. I farold Douglas, the artist of the class, has a well earned nickname. “Smiley.” If 1 farold never does anything else he will have earned a place in the world because of the smiles which have warmed the hearts of so many of the students and faculty members of the High School. Harold, however, must always remember the motto which his class has chosen to live up to, “Deeds not Dreams.” Concerning Edgar Cordon it is difficult to know what to say. Edgar stands so completely aloof from those around him that it seems impossible to try to break down the wall of reserve with which he has surrounded himself. Edgar must rid Page 54 The Atalanta 1924 himself of this fault, for as he lives longer he will learn that no man can remain in so great a degree independent of the rest of the world. In Donald Hammitt we can see much to praise and much to blame. At times he is a “Jolly Good Fellow,” hut Donald must not try to impress his high ideals which we all respect (at a distance) upon those with minds not mature enough to understand them. There is nothing for us to say concerning Mae Heidelbaugh. Point out the good traits in her character and the many had ones, we can. But we realize the utter uselessness of advising her. Heedless, she follows her own sweet will, and it has been proved many times in the past that mere words, even attempted spankings, will not reform Mae. The problem is made many times more difficult 1 v die winning way she is capable of assuming when, in her opinion, circumstances call for it. One of the most brilliant members of the class of 24 is Willard Hieronymus. He excels in many of the arts and deserves the rewards which he ghins. Hong ago. however. Willard learned the meaning of that little song entitled, 1 love me.” He should overcome this, his only fault. Also, when illard devotes so much of his time to one member of the fair sex he cannot expect to receive the adoration of the others. Alpha Miller, dear Seniors, is another one of your members that should learn the meaning of. “Eat, drink and lie merry, for tomorrow we die.” Alpha’s virtues are so manv that an attempt to name them would he futile. Among them all his absolute lack of conceit most pleases his schoolmates, especially those of the class of '25. Clarence Miller is the exact opposite of his brother. Alpha. Clarence would do well to study more, become less frivolous, and remember less often his ability to attract the flirting glances of the charming damsels of A. C. H. S. Next comes Philip McCullough. Oh Seniors! your large class would be missed in a much greater measure if it had more Phils in it. Oh the blue eyes of him! The sunny smile, the daring wit. quick temper and general Irishness of him allure the hearts of the fair sex. His onlv fault is lus absolute indifference to the marked attention he receives from the vamping lassies who strive in vain to win his heart. Norma Schmidt, who has tried so hard to point out the shortcomings of our class, is the next of whom we shall speak. Norma. Norma, we beseech you. now that you have become of age, to have a serious thought occasionally and. at least once a week, do a good deed. And now that you aie to go out into the world where every one will not know you as well as your fellow students, do follow this good advice: leave off vour flirtatious ways and hold yourself aloof from the admirations of attractive young men. that you may best develop the good qualities of which you possess so many. Margaret Snook is a worthy member of your class and she shall now receive our attention. We beg Margaret to try to overcome this violent mania for studv which seemingly has such a hold on her. and to join more fully in the nonsense of this world. Then she will undoubtedly become one of the finest members of the class of ’24. Page 55 19 2 4 The Atalanta Last on our list by virtue of her name comes Pearl Trigg. Pearl is another who never causes frowns to appear on the brows of the faculty members, or angry words to rise on the lips of her school mates. It Pearl remains so she will surpass the more bumptious members of her class. And now our parting words to you, dear class of '24. First let us thank you again for the words of advice you have so kindly given us. We greatly appreciate your thought in doing it, but as we have shown, your own faults are so many that we could not consider you capable of giving advice or rendering anv help to our own almost irreproachable class. e, however, wish you all good fortune in the years to come and hope that someday you will appreciate the sterling qualities possessed by the class with which you passed three eventful years in dear old A. C. II. S. lo the class of 24 we, the class of '25, say good-bye. Senior Class Poem When our school days now are ended How hard the way before us seems; But as we struggle on and upward. We’ll keep our motto—“Deeds not Dreams.” To the faculty, patient and wise. W e give our best wishes and cheers. May their joys be many and happy their lives, As they onward through school pass the years. Mrs. Bridges, so pleasant and sweet. We chose for our class adviser. With such an example before us Each day we grew wiser and wiser. Now in explanation let me say As this poem now you read. That we might never learn That we're living dreams, not deeds. In choosing a leader for our class I'm sure that you all must agree. That we were both wise and right When we elected Priscilla Beverly. Ruth Coffman so lively and gav Has no time for trouble or care She will lecture in foreign lands On the advantages of bobbed hair. Marie, a second Galli Curci will be. Although 'tis against her will; For she a rich man’s bride would be. And her desire for pleasure fulfill. Parjc 56 19 2 4 The Atalanta Mildred Curtis, timid and shy. Who not even a mouse would harm. Because of her love for the country, Will spend her life on the farm. I farold Douglas, quite tall and slim, Measuring six feet from his head to his shoes; In the wilds of Africa will he found Selling the natives powder and rouge. Edgar’s wonderful knowledge of science Will make him a man of renown, lie’s planning a book entitled, “Should Apples Fall Up or Down: There is one member of our class Whose fate is not quite clear. Donald’s talent will lead him To become either singer or auctioneer. Willard, our Editor-in-Chief Gets along with his staff first hand. And, according to my belief Will direct a first class band. Alpha Miller, with his slow stately walk. His cheery smile and pleasant ways. Is planning a civil engineer to be And thus he will spend the rest of his days. But Clarence, Alpha’s little brother, Is waylaid by mistake. For on his trip through U. of I. He a blushing bride will take. Phil has freckles and lie’s Irish too. But by his classmates lie's held in esteem, And someday, if this prophecy conies true. He’ll he coach of a basketball team. Norma’s hopes indeed are in vain, Her smiles and her tears fall on hare rock. But someday she may find a fertile plain, And for her happy husband wind the clock. One of our class a violinist will he. Of world wide glory and fame. For each day she practices diligently. Shall 1 tell you? Pearl Trigg’s her name. Page 57 19 2 4 The Atalanta Mac lias a habit of dreaming dreams Throughout the live-long day. Seeking a secluded spot She will dream her life away. As for Margaret, who can tell What the future holds for her? Time alone will prove her fate The ages, as it were.

Football 1923 Atlanta vs. Hkywortii Atlanta met Heyworth on the home field September 28. Xeither team played mid-season football as it was the first game of the year for both. Our defense being exceedingly good not much ground was gained by our opponents. Captain McCullough and Watt were the outstanding ground gainers.

While the “pill” was continually kept in our end of the field we were unable to score and the final whistle found the score 0-0. Atlanta vs. Illiopolis Our next game was on foreign field.

Homlooming, Atlanta vs. McLean This game was preceded by a heavy rain, making the field wet and slippery and disagreeable to play on. During the first quarter we carried the hall to within five yards of the goal hut failed to score. The game was a scrap from start to finish and the hall never got very far away from the center of the field. Few passes were used because of the condition of the hall. The whistle blew with a final score of 0-0. On the whole the game was probably the best of the season, for the red and whites. Hiernoymus played the usual style of college football at center, while in the backfield Chrisman and McCullough gave good accounts of themselves. After the game the team were guests at an excellent supper given hv the Athletic Association at the Christian Church.

The game ended 23-20 in favor of New' Holland. Atlanta vs. Lincoln January 12. the Atlanta basketball squad played Lincoln. The Atlanta team was not used to the large floor there and did not play the same style of game that they do at home. However the game wras not such an easy victory for Lincoln as the score 16-7 might indicate. Atlanta vs. Elkhart We played our next game at Elkhart.

The game was hard fought throughout (by the subs). The score of the game was 31-7 in New Berlin’s favor. We then played New Holland. New Holland had played the fast Athens team the night before. They showed up good against them. New Holland thought they had the game won and that they were on easy sailing for consolation shield. Atlanta hit their stride earlv in the game and had an easy victory by a score of 11-17. Our next game was with Pawnee. At the end of the regular period the score was 7-7. In the over-time period Weddington saved the glory of A. C. H. S. In-scoring two free throws. The game ended 9-11 in favor of Atlanta. The next game was with Ashland. Atlanta was again off form, this seemed to be an unlucky day. The team went into the game with hopes of winning the consolation shield, lnit their hopes were shattered. They seemed unable to connect with the ring and the game ended with a score of 14-6 in favor of Ashland. I his ended the Athens tournament for Atlanta and all were reluctant to leave. All had to admit that the people in Athens were good sports. Atlanta vs. New Holland For the third time the locals met the fast New Holland team. 'Phis game was at New Holland and for some reason or other our hoys never got started. A good manv rooters went with the team. The final score was 17-8 in favor of New Holland. Atlanta vs. Mt. Pulaski On the night of February 12, the locals met the Mt. Pulaski five on the Lincoln gym floor.

The game ended a tie and the fight was on again for five minutes more. The final score was 20-23 in favor of Mt. Pulaski. Atlanta vs. Heyworth 'Phe fifteenth of February found the Atlanta hoys in Heyworth where they had journeyed via Bloomington. 1 he game, in order to make train connections, was cut short, and by the time our hoys were getting warmed up the final whistle blew.

'Phe Atlanta team played one of the best games of the season against Lincoln on our floor. The game was fast throughout with first one team in the lead and then the other. There was never more than one or two points Page 69 19 2 4 The Atalanta difference in the score throughout the game. Hieronymus broke all previous records by making five points. Spectators say it was by far the best game of the season. The final score was 18-20 in favor of Lincoln. Atlanta vs. McLean February 29. This last scheduled game of the season was played on the McLean floor. It proved to be an easy victory for Atlanta. McLean was far outclassed and our boys scored at will. The box-score was 13-31. District Tournament Atlanta entered the tournament with much enthusiasm and determination to win. On the morning of March 6th the A. C. H. S. A. A. held a pep meeting and the prospects of winning the tournament were discussed. The entire community was back of the team and showed it by attending the game Thursday night where our boys met the fast illiamsville five. I he game was the best one during the tournament according to the opinion of many. Watt. McCullough and Wedding-ton played extraordinary basketball while Gordon and Hieronymus held their opponents to a score of 16-17. We won by only one point but it was enough to warrant our staying in the tournament. The next game played by Atlanta was on March 7 with Deland. This was a rather easy victory for Atlanta and Coach Wilson saved his best men by using the subs. The final score was 5-14 in our favor. The next afternoon saw Atlanta and their old rivals. New Holland, clash for the finals. For some reason our boys could not find the ring and the southern lads succeeded in scoring 18 points to our 5. 'I'he semi-finals saw Beason and Atlanta class for third place. While the score was close not much enthusiasm was shown on either side and the game was not so very fast. Beason won 14-20. This concluded the scheduled games for the year. We believe that the team made a fine showing at the Athens and district tournaments. Watt was the only one of the Atlanta boys to get on the second all-star team. On Friday night. March 14. the basketball and football boys were treated to a banquet given by the Parent Teachers Association of Atlanta which was vert-much enjoyed. After the banquet Frank Watt was elected basketball captain anil Henry Neel football captain for the next year. This vear concludes four tears of basketball for Hieronymus and three for Gordon and McCullough.

Despite the disagreeable weather, a parade of High School students from both McLean and Atlanta, grade school pupils and alumni was held. Clever ideas of all sorts, from Barney Google, a circus, and Sousas hand to Hallowe’en witches and pumpkin faces, were carried out. This assemblage wended its way to the fair grounds, where the crowming feature of the day, the football game between McLean Community High School and Atlanta, was witnessed. Neither team succeeded in placing a score, and at the end of the last quarter, the result was a tie, 0-0. hollowing this, a delicious cafeteria supper was served in the basement of the Christian Church. The alumni, who had not met for a time, made this an occasion for a reunion, a program was held in the auditorium, at which time the first appearance of the High School Chorus was made. 'Falks of the evening were made by Mr. Lrwine, of McLean, Mr. Scheer and J. L. Bevan. I his was voted by all to be the most successful homecoming in the history of Atlanta Community High School.

The Atalanta 192 4 Sophomore Class Party The Sophomore Class party, which was held in the lower hall of the school building early in the fall of 1923, was a pleasant occasion for all who attended. Harriet Irish served as chairman of the committee, and she with her assistants proved to he royal entertainers. Interesting games were played and at a late hour delicious refreshments were served. Mrs. Bridges, Miss McClure, and Mr. Coe of the faculty were present. Thus another of the brilliant affairs of the Sophomore Class passes into history. Coi.enk Moose, ’26. The Christmas Party On Friday, December 21, the annual Christmas treat was enjoyed by the entire high school and faculty in the gymnasium of the schoolho'use. The tree was placed in the north end of the gvm and bright colored electric bulbs furnished light for the occasion. About two weeks previous names were drawn by each student and ample time was given to get the presents which were not to exceed ten cents. These gifts were given to Mr. Coe, who, unbeknown to us, had given them to Santa Claus, and they were heaped high at the foot of the tree. Several of the smaller ones and a few horns, were hung upon the branches. Mr. Scheer was Santa Claus and he asked that each person unwrap his present and show the others. Some found the process of unwrapping a very tedious one, but they were usually well rewarded. There were gift's of all descriptions. Some of the algebra students received blocks to play with, while the Domestic Science girls received skillets and rolling pins. Some of the more fortunate received candy or chewing gum (to be chewed in time of school). Some were given all-day suckers. Of course, each of the faculty received something. Mrs. Bridges was presented with a gold pencil by the Senior Class. As soon as the gifts had been distributed and opened, all were invited to form in a bread line and were served with punch and lady fingers. (It’s a good thing there wasn’t any school next day). All were filled with punch ( ? ?) and the spirit of Christmas. After wishing every one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, ninety-nine happy high school students trooped out of the building, not to come back until January 7 of the next year. Y. H„ ’24. 19 2 4 The Atalanta The Freshman Party This year the “Freshies” departed from the time-worn custom of holding their party in the High School Gymnasium, and, as a result of one of their brilliant inspirations, decided to give a theater party. The party was held on the evening of February 1st. The picture show was “Hail the Woman.” After the show the guests were taken to the Wisteria, where refreshments, consisting of orange sher-bert and wafers, were served. Then the guests departed for their homes and left the “Freshies” to wonder if the upper classmen had been sincere in saying that thev had spent a most delightful evening. C. M„ ’27. The Carnival The Second Annual Carnival—February 22, 1924, may be counted as one of the most decided successes of the year, from a financial as well as social standpoint. After the cafeteria -supper, served at 5 :30, and heartily enjoyed by all, the Hobo Band led by “Rastus” entertained the guests until the sideshows were opened. Of the latter, the most popular by far was the “Siegfield Follies of ’24;” with the “Blackfaced Minstrel” quartet a close second. The country store and candy booth were unable to supply the demand, and were forced to close before the evening was over; and the goose-pond proved to be an exceedingly popular and successful innovation. Confetti and gaiety were abundant, and both guests and hosts, pleased with the success of this year’s event, are looking forward to a similar one during the coming rear. R. T„ ’25. Junior-Senior Banquet On the evening of March 21, 1924, the Juniors, Seniors, and Faculty and their wives assembled in the parlors of the Christian Church for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The reception room was beautifully decorated with the Senior colors, blue and silver. Lighted by several floor lamps, this made a very cozy room, which, when filled with blushing maidens and young men of all descriptions, ages, shapes, and colors produced a pleasant sight to look upon. It was more pleasant to be there, for soon the folding doors were pushed back revealing a feast rivaling that of the gods. The lights were turned out and the burning candles on the white tablecloths, along with the sparkling silverware, red roses, and numerous designs of crepe paper in senior colors, produced a very artistic sight to be sure. A splendid five piece orchestra furnished music for the occasion, and after a five course banquet toasts were given, the subjects of which centered around the Senior class motto—“Deeds Not Dreams.” W. H„ ’24 The Tri-City Debate The Atalanta 1924 The fourth tri-city contest, between Atlanta, Lincoln, and Mt. Pulaski was held April 11. The question for dehate was. Resolved: That the Production and Distribution of Coal and Oil Should he Regulated and Controlled by Federal Legislation. The negative team comjKised of George Heidelbaugh, Burnell Miller, and Willard Hieronvmus, went to Mt. Pulaski to debate against the affirmative team of that place. The contest was held in the High School auditorium, and a large audience was present. The Atlanta team was successful in winning a unanimous decision over their opponents. The outcome was never in doubt as the Mt. Pulaski team failed to withstand the onslaught of Atlanta’s strong team. I his debate marked the last appearance of Willard Hieronymus, who has always been an important factor on our debate teams. The judges of the debate were all from Mil-likin University. Before an audience composed of nearly two hundred people from Lincoln. Mt. Pulaski, and Atlanta, at the Baptist Church, was held one part of the 1 ri-City contest in Debate and Declamation. Miss Vetter of Mt. Pulaski, reading “Humoresque” won the decision from Louise Beverly, who read “The Littlest Rebel. In Debate, the Lincoln team composed of Herbert Evans, Robert Downing, and John Deal upheld the negative, and the Atlanta team, composed of Clarence (Buddy) Miller, Merlin Ludlam, and Frances De la Bere, upheld the affirmative of the question. The negative won. That the contest was closely fought is evidenced by the fact that one judge gave Atlanta first place in both events. The judges were Professors Sorensen, Rolley. and Lancaster, from Normal University. The Tri-City declamatory contest at Lincoln was a most successful affair as far as Atlanta was concerned. Nellie Hale, the Lincoln contestant, spoke first, giving “A Few Bars in the Key of G.” She interpreted the reading well, but those of us from Atlanta felt that there would he no question as to Atlanta’s success. Nor were we disappointed. Rose Squier, who read “Full Measure of Devotion,” made the listeners feel that she was experiencing in turn the emotions of each one of her characters. Altogether the reading was so successfully given that the judges were unanimous in their decision, and Atlanta was acclaimed the winner. Out of the twenty-four events in the past four years, Atlanta has won nine events, Mt. Pulaski, nine events, and Lincoln, six. The Would-Be Anarchist The anarchist, newly initiated to his trade, sneaked nervously across the park, carefully carrying in his right hand a suitcase, which concealed a machine. 1 his infernal instrument was set to go off in an hour’s time and would completely de-strov a whole citv block. The meek-looking little man who carried it dodged behind ihe bushes and shrubs, slowly making his way to the west side of the street. I here a large, loftv dome, clearly outlined against the setting sun, marked the capitol of the state. If ere was where the laws of state and nation were kept,, and here offenders against these laws were dealt out justice. 19 2 4 The Atalanta As the anarchist stood before the capitol, sudden repentance seized him. lie thought of the time, money and labor that had been used to build that gorgeous symbol of a nation’s strength. Then his eyes gazed upward to where the gleaming Stars and Stripes rippled in the evening breeze, A nation’s power was represented by that flag. What punishment would be too great to inflict on an enemy of that nation? lie would not, he must not do such an awful thing! The memory of it would always haunt him. He would find peace nowhere. Just then the big clock in the courthouse chimed the hour. In sixtv minutes that mighty building was doomed to crumble into ruins at his hands. No, it must not happen! He raced up to an elderly lady passing by, stammering madly, “Water, quick, tell me!” She gazed at him questioningly and glanced nervously at the policeman on the corner. “A river, a lake, answer me!” But bv that time the woman was scurrying down the street, clutching at her hat with one hand and swinging an umbrella with the other. The good woman was firmly convinced that she had narrowly escaped death at the hands of a madman. The next person whom the anarchist accosted said, soothingly, “There, there, brother. You mustn’t think of suicide. The Y. M. C. A. on Jackson street will help you.” lieu the little man raised his head again there were tears streaming down his face as he weakly cried, “Water, my dear sir, it means everything to me.” This time the stranger to whom he had spoken looked queerlv at him and murmured something about the lagoon in the park. The anarchist turned hastily and saw the artificial lake in the middle of the park, which he passed at least twice every day of his life. He ran, gasping, to the brink of it and threw the satchel with all his force into the middle of the lake. Then, turning, he rushed hurriedly down the street towards the railroad. So ended this man’s attempt to destroy the state capitol. Frances De la Bere. ’25 My Favorite Fault It is certainly hard to choose a fault from the many ones for which I have often been reprimanded; but to choose my favorite fault is quite a different matter. I really can't say whether it is as dear to other people as it is to me, but it is certainly my favorite stand-by. In fact, it is such a source of pleasure, amusement, and saving grace that it might fittingly be called a talent rather than a fault. henever I find myself in any trying position, I giggle. Usually whether to extricate myself from a scrape, amuse my companions, or start a commotion in the class room, giggling does the work. A stranger judging by my fondness for The Atalanta 1924 this unusual and sometimes rather unwelcome art might believe that 1 had been raised to the tune of “John Brown's Body,” and the familiar words: It isn't any trouble just to g-i-g-g-l-e, It isn’t any trouble just to g-i-g-g-l-e. If ever you're in trouble, it will vanish like a bubble If you only take the trouble just to g-i-g-g-l-e. M v favorite fault has relieved the tensest moments at parties or theater plays, it has started a sweep of gaiety at the driest points of otherwise humorously interesting lectures; and last but not least, it has led me into scrapes times without number. I well remember a day when our English eacher was giving us a much needed scolding. While she was speaking, one of the boldest of the hoys began imitating a dog, cat, chicken, cow, and numerous other animals. The teacher continued for some time, but realizing that she could not overlook his misdemeanors, she stopped short, and fastening her gaze upon him, stood silent for several minutes. I do not know what possessed me, and I was more than amazed when I caught myself at it. hut I began giggling. This was apparently too much for her. She glared at me for a minute; then her lips began twitching and she finally hurst out laughing. 'Phe class proceeded in fine spirits, and we had an interesting lesson. My fault had saved the day. This is one of the many incidents in which 1 used my talent successfully and it is for this reason that, choosing from a host of others, 1 name giggling as my favorite fault. Norma Schmidt, ’24. Memories of Basketball Days Coach previous dav: “You six guys that went on the last trip move your carcases down town and take the 4:00 north tomorrow. Don t forget your finger nail files, tooth brushes, razors, or shoe polish, and he on time.

Miller and Ely about to cry. Coach : “Where’s Watt; Adrian, quit bouncing the hall on the cinders; Wayne, climb down off that sign, we all know you’re from the woods.” Train comes, also Phil and Watt; Gordon forgot his suit and is running to restaurant to get it.

Train comes: Wayne has to flag it to he sure it stops; AU-aboard, Felly forgot his ticket; Wayne breaks hat rack hanging on it. Conductor: “You rubes be quiet or I'll throw you off!’’ Coach goes to sleep. Phil sticks gum in his hair and fills his grip with water. Coach is wakened by big noise. Wonder what it is? Oh see the big crowd of Atlanta fans waiting for the team to return. Xotc:—Probably extracts from Coach Wilson’s diarv. The Diary of a Small Boy September 1st. I started to school today. J like my teacher fine. September 2nd. Johnny Long is the meanest little boy I know. 1 took an apple to school today and he took it away from me. 1 told the teacher and she scolded Johnny, so after school he whipped me. September 3rd. My folks are the funniest people. They make me wash my hands just before I go to bed and just as soon as 1 get up. What’s the use? The bed is supposed to be clean. And they won’t even let me put a pencil in my mouth when I'm getting my lessons. They saw there might be germs on it. 1 think when 1 grow up I'll eat a germ. September 5th. 1 went to my grandma’s last night and stayed all night, so 1 couldn’t write in my diary. Grandma makes fine cookies all right. I only ate sixteen. She said I would be sick today but I wasn’t. I didn’t think I would be. Old folks don't know as much as young ones sometimes. Grandpa gave me a nickel to buy some candy with but 1 went home and told ma about it and she made me put it in mv hank. I bet if he ever gives me another one I spend it 'fore 1 go home. I wish I could stay at Grandma’s all time. Grandmas are nice things to have, aren’t they? September 6. Well, today was Saturday and as usual 1 had a good time. I would have more fun if I hadn’t had to run so many errands for Ma though. Wilbur Phillips, A. C. H. S., ’26. MEW-SICK PlH]C 79 The Atalanta 19 2 4 Atlanta Community High School Orchestra During the past school year, the High School Orchestra has indeed functioned as a musical organization. The members, through regular practice and numerous appearances in public, have become reliable performers on their chosen instruments ; consequently, the ensemble work has been developed in an appreciable degree. On all occasions of its appearance in public, the orchestra has given a well selected and well rendered program, with the possible exception of a difficulty which arose in a case or two, where it was impossible to adjust the pitch of the wind instruments to that of the piano used. But even in these instances the morale of the orchestra never wavered—thanks to the prospect of the chicken-pie suppers that were to follow and which offered the necessary incentive to broad and sustained effort on the part of the performers. While on the other hand words cannot begin to express the wonderful tolerance and discreetness of our audiences during these programs. But back to the more serious vein of thought; we dread to think of the casualties which annually occur among our ranks. We must this year say adieu to Pearl of the first violin section, and to Willard, our solo clarinetist. We are sorry to lose them, hut we are glad to recommend them for service in other and more advanced organizations in which they may make melody.

Two smaller units have been formed from the larger group; the Bovs’ Chorus and the Girls’ Glee Club. Their first public appearance was in a Choral Concert at Murphy Hall February 15, 1924. The hearty co-operation of patrons and teachers, and the enthusiastic interest of the pupils have been gratifying to the Music Supervisor, Miss McClure, who serves in this capacity for the grades and high school.
