The Atalanta w 1 9 2 5 = To the Seniors Oh, the Seniors have a president Her head is rather small. We don’t see how her knowledge can Be crowded in at all! There is Rose who surely can declaim! She is learning, too, to paint, She’s very skillful with her brush, Can put pink cheeks where they ain’t! There’s Burnell who loves to play baseball, In the game lie’s never rash! And we’ve noticed when he picks his bat, He prefers it made of ash! Then there’s Lena and there’s Audra, too, Who always look quite swell. And every time that the son comes up. They must have a new marcel! There is Frances with her cheery smile, With Mildred for her chum. Whenever they have any work to do. The Union men must come!

There’s Louisa with her rosy cheeks, Might he akin to Rose, When she arises to recite, “Hello ! Hello!” she goes. There’s Alfreda who is growing thin, From studying so hard, If she don’t look out, she’ll be like Wayne, Whom we measure by the yard! Mildred Phillips has a ready smile, And Thelma has one, too, When the High School loses these two girls, Sure the outlook will be blue! There is George who doesn’t care for sports, Sure he thinks he is some sheik, He has never studied hard at all, He just gets through on his cheek! Eldon Givens is so very thin We would see him fatten up, So we gave the Seniors one great big feed, And we called them in to sup.

There is Mamie with her violin, We expect some day to hear That she’s playing on the concert stage At 99 plunks a year! Then there is another dark haired girl. We call her Edith Brown, We think she deserves a rousing cheer, For driving each day to town! Oh. Ruth Thomson has a skilful pen, She’ll work herself to death, For she draws all day and she draws all night, And she always draws her breath !

For we are an extraordinary bunch. In the beginning we didn’t rush in and grab all the honors. What was the use? We had four perfectly good years before us to deliver the goods. When it came to talking about ourselves we were about as self-assertive as a mountain daisy. And therein lay the cleverness of the whole thing. We knew we were great and never said a word about it. We chose as leader in our Junior year, a dignified youth by the name of Watt, who had an irresistible way with the girls. During this time we mastered the art of financing the Junior-Senior Banquet. If a nickel slipped by us it was well greased. We wrote a book on “Fussing” and gave Miss Beebe auctioneer’s cramp calling class meetings. In all student activities we were at the front and the girls veere always in demand. Even the feminine members of the faculty tried to vamp our boys. I had a dream last night. I dreamed I went to Heaven and found the Seniors there. The idea was so amusing. I laughed myself awake. However, I dreamed that I went back to Atlanta High in 1940. The place had changed. Charley had washed the basement windows, Prof. Coe could no longer pass as “Twenty-one,” and George Heidlebaugh had graduated. That’s how I knew it was a dream. 1 went up to the office to talk to the superintendent. Imagine my surprise on being met by Adrian Weddington, grown portly and handsome. With a whoop he wrung my hand. He told me that the members of the Class of ’26 were scattered from Kankakee to Key West, from Hell's Gate. Halifax to Golden Gate, San Francisco. He had just finished writing a book entitled, “Why All Great Men and Women Belong to the Class of ’26.” With a shudder, I awoke............ We know our class is famous. Look at our painters, our declaimers, our athletes. Let others boast of their doings! It is for us to continue modestly in our present course. And when we come to the time of our dissolution as a class, may our successors be not so bold as to try to emulate us. Colors: Azure Blue and White. “S. C.

C. II. S.. Gee! They gave us the laugh it' we got in the wrong pew and said, “those freshies sure are green.” We finally became accustomed to the surroundings and elected the following class officers: Mr. Scheer, Class Adviser; Frances Trigg, President; Marian Hieronymus, Vice-President; and Clarence Miller, Secretary-Treasurer. The most important incidents of the year were the initiation and the Freshman Theatre Party. It is our time to laugh now, for we are no longer green freshies, but are Sophomores, unruffled by passion, also full of pep and enthusiasm. At the beginning of the year we Sophomores chose Merlin Ludlam as President; Marian Hieronymus as Vice-President; La Vene Leach as Secretary-Treasurer. and Mr. Kollman as Class Adviser. We were given the honor of initiating the Freshmen and enjoyed a class party and a high school treat given by the Freshman Class. Stop! Look! Listen! Watch the Class of Twenty-Seven ! D. W.

We elected Joseph King, most worthy President; Delmar Houghton, Vice-President; Raymond Begolka, keeper of records and seals; Chancellor of Exchequer, Mildred Foote, and Miss Brackney our dignified adviser. In due time we settled down to dull routine of studies, very determined and industrious. Early in our High School career, we started in as financial experts. and collected a sum of money from a sandwich sale, which was given at school. The Freshies gave their annual school treat, Thursday night. Tanuarv 29th 1925. As the years go by, we hope to ever succeed and long mav we live in the annals of old A. C. H. S. H. F. ’28.

While the season was not a success from the standpoint of the number of games won, yet there were several interesting games played. The Alumni game, played on Home Coming Day. was the climax of the season. The Alumni team was composed of the players who had made up the crack baseball team of Atlanta during the years of 1910 and 1911. But. nevertheless. the younger generation was too much for the old grads and we marched off the field with a 13 to 11 victory in a seven inning game. The Season’s Basebai.i. Record A. C. H.

C. H. S. has had for several years. Of course several distressing defeats marred the season’s record, the worst being suffered at the District Tournament. However the crowds which packed the old Murphy Hall were testimony of the support given the team by the whole community. Atlanta vs. Middletown We opened the season with a team of unknown quality. The former defense had been lost by graduation and the problem was to find two guards to back our smooth working offense. However we emerged with a .31 to 8 victory, even using a second team the last quarter. Atlanta vs. Armington Our next game was against a team which had played several games and were well on the wav in their schedule. The team as a whole did not make a very Page 38 iiiiimiiiimiiiHiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiHiiiii iiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMiiMiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiMi The Atalanta 3 9 2 5 impressive showing, but the final whistle found us holding a margin of four points over the boys from Hittle. Atlanta 23; Waynesville 24 We went to Waynesville with only the hope of keeping the score from being overwhelming. Capt. Watt went into the game sick. However our fight carried us to a near victory and had it not been for a basket after the scorer’s whistle had blown we would have defeated them. Atlanta vs. Hartsburg We met defeat at the hands of Hartsburg the Friday following the Wavnes-ville game. 'The inability to find tbe basket together with Hartsburg’s good offense left them with the long end of an 18 to 23 score. Atlanta 28; McLean 27 The McLean game was one of the most weird spectacles ever seen by many of our fans. We were out played the first half and with McLean leading us by nine points, we had almost given up hope. Nevertheless three baskets in rapid succession found the regular time ended with the score a tie. After playing three or four overtime periods, we finally won by one point. Atlanta 13; Lincoln 17 W e next played Lincoln on the I. (). O. F. Orphans Home floor. This was the last game played under our Coach, Mr. Wilson, and we desired very much to turn this game into a victory. However we were forced to face the inevitable and Lincoln marched off the floor leaving us with another defeat. Atlanta vs. Middleton This game found us under the leadership of our new Coach. Mr. Peifer. We easily defeated Middletown for the second time this season. Score 36 to 11. Atlanta 18; Hartsburg 31 The home team displayed the poorest basketball of the season on the home floor. The first half of the game was very close, but in the last half, Atlanta was completely stopped, while Hartsburg piled up the score with baskets from all over the floor. Atlanta 30; Reason 26 This was the best game of the season for Atlanta. Beason had just won the Logan County Tournament and came to Atlanta expecting a walkaway. The first half of the game was close and found Atlanta leading bv one point. In the second half, with Captain Watt in the line-up, we kept a margin of about four points over the “all-stars” from Beason. Atlanta vs. Waynesville This game was played the following afternoon after the Beason game. Atlanta continued to play good ball, but the wonderful scoring combination of Waynesville could not be stopped and the boys from DeWitt County went home with the long end of a 33 to 29 score. Atlanta 26; McLean 17 The last home game and the last one on the regular schedule was carried away by the home team. The game was rather slow and uninteresting.

The game was played at Beason and with Atlanta in a slump, together with the characteristic rough play of Lincoln, w'e were beaten by a score of 13 to 24. The defeat in the first game placed Atlanta in the consolation schedule and our next opponent was Xew Holland. W’e defeated them on the Lincoln College floor without much difficulty. This was sweet revenge for the defeats which we had suffered at their hands in previous years. Score 32-16. On Saturday night we played Chestnut for the championship of the Consolation Division. W e held them to only two field baskets the entire game and won by a score of 26 to 9. Atlanta was awarded the shield as champions of the Consolation Division and Beason was awarded the trophy as the champion of the A Division. District Tournament We drew Armington as our first opponent in the District. Armington evidently played over her head and the miserable showing of Atlanta gave them the victory. 18-22.

Meetings were held on Tuesday of every week. All classes were represented, the Freshies having a large majority. This, being one of the extra curricular activities including chorus and dramatic art, was a great help in preparation for the Tri-City Debate. F. E. G. ’25. The Latin Club The Latin Club or the “Quadrivium” (the meeting of the four ways) as it was decided the new organization should he called, was planned for the purpose of studying the life and customs of the Romans. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Consuls—Frances De la Bere and Colene Hoose. Quaestor (Treasurer)—Conrad Miller. Tribunes (Representatives)—Thelma Lown and Delmar Houghton. The Consuls were elected from the Cicero Class, the Quaestor from the Caesar Class, and the Tribunes from the first year Latin Class. It was decided that a meeting of the Quadrivium should be held once every month. The programs consists of Latin plays, dialogues, and songs. Reports are also given each meeting, taken from the Classical Journal and the Classical Weekly. F.

The work was carried on under the supervision of Miss Adelle McClure with Marjorie Crandall assisting as pianist. Early in the year Miss McClure arranged the sopranos, altos and bass singers in their respective places. The first public appearance was made Thanksgiving Day at the Baptist Church, where they assisted in a program presented by the Dramatic Art Club. Another noteworthy event which was held at the Baptist Church was the “Choral Concert.” This, which was to have been given December 18th, as a Christmas program, was postponed a number of times, but was successfully rendered on January 4th.

The band was then organized and as the pupils were prepared, they were taken into this organization. The hand has made remarkable progress and since many of the members are from the grades, Atlanta will probably have one of the best bands in the state in several years. The band’s first public appearance was in the Home Coming Parade. Many favorable comments were heard at this time. Also the band furnished music at several of the High School basketball games. Did you ever hear of the organization called By the name of Atlanta School Band ? Here’s telling you they are all surely worth knowing, For Prof. A. L. Larison holds them in hand. With saxaphones plenty, you’ll say they’re endowed, Boh. Bowser and Jack, each use an E flat, And Wilbur performs on the tenor with ease. =t On the flute gentle Billy performs with true grace; All his tones, we’ll have to admit are quite rare. C. J. leads right well upon his cornet; Welby, Edna. Roy, June and Phillip assist. Daddy Scheer’s quite a wonder with his B flat clarinet When Edmund chimes in, then he sure nothing’s missed. Now these are not all; to be sure, there’s lots more, Whose noises we need to make up our band.

On Thursday night, September 11, 1924. Where? At the home of Mrs. Hieronymus. Why? Louise’s sixteenth birthday. Miss Beverly proved to be a most entertaining hostess, inviting the Senior Class and adviser in on the eve of September 11. There were fourteen members of the class present. The evening was spent in a most enjoyable way, stunts and games being the features of entertainment. At a late hour dainty refreshments were served, after which the guests departed wishing Louise many more happy birthdays. A. E.

On the evening of September 17, 1924, the Faculty, Seniors (named first for manner’s sake). Juniors, and Freshies were summoned to the annual wiener roast given by the Sophomore Class. This year it was held at Medberry’s Pasture. Upon arriving there, the guests were entertained by playing games and also by a delightful mosquito band. Oh, Boy! They sure made us all welcome. After the fire was built by the Boy Scouts of A. C. H. S., (Profs, included), the buns and wieners were divided equally (?). We wonder why several aspiring young sheiks secured two sticks for roasting wieners? (Nuf said!) Then came the marshmallows and the way Wayne Chrisman grabbed for them, everybody thought he was a Freshie instead of a sedate Senior. Now as for the initiation of the Freshmen—how can words express it? Then the picnic broke up and thus one more Sophomore Wiener Roast becomes history and a pleasant memory. Station A. C. H.

This year everyone was asked to mask in whatever way they wished. The business men of the community donated prizes to be given to the boy and girl in eath grade and the boy and girl in each class in High School who were judged the best masked. At last the great day arrived and of all the costumes! No one person could imagine so many different kinds and it would take pages and pages to describe them, so only a brief description of the winner’s costumes can be given. = caps.

A couch, several large wicker chairs, a table and a rug. gave it a more cozy appearance, while hanging from the ceiling were streamers of the school colors, red and white. Soon the hall was filled with upper classmen, while mingling with them were the Freshies. In a little while the games began, in which almost everyone participated. Different sides were chosen and this made the competition great. The water drinking contest and the barrel hoop race furnished the keenest of excitement. The race in which the lines were to keep the strictest order while marching, ended with many spills. A game called the College Course was also interesting. Then came the refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, cocoa and mints. After that the pupils dwindled away in two’s and three’s and went home. J. T.

Twas to bid a good-bye to our two ex-advisors, Miss White and Coach Wilson, who helped make us wiser. 'I'he party was called at half after seven. And we all played together ’til nearly eleven. We all entertained, each one the other. Coach and his wife spoke of that mother, Hubbard by name, and the dog and the cupboard. Following this, amid a great blubber, The Coes danced a jig, and surely he stumbled For, “Stay off my feet!’’ the Mrs. Coe grumbled. A lesson in dishwashing, next on the program, Was given to White by the dear Madame Kollman. You wonder why? Miss White was to wed, And the husband she’d win, could not go unfed. Then to our dear Mamie, George fell on his knees, Begging, “Curly Locks, Curly Locks, do he mine, please!” Xow Adelle and “Ma” Scheer played a wondrous duet, Which ’tis certainly true none can ever forget ! ! ! ! C. J. lacked practice and feared they would blunder, When Miss White attempted a solo to render. Now last, but not least, Brackney and Beebe, Discussed quite at length “gawking” and “Billy.” Then some more of the evening was spent playing games; Some were just jokes, others took brains. After this, three tokens with hearty good wishes. Were presented Miss White and the two Wilsons. The height of the party came with the “eats,” The mention of which caused a scramble for seats. And what do you think happened in the mad whirl? Ruth T. spilled her cream on the rug,—poor girl! After the repast, we all felt much better. Voted everything perfect except for these matters; Our dear daddy Scheer failed to be with us, Detained, he averred, by some important business. Also three Seniors unable to come, We greatly missed during all of the fun. But true the old adage, “All good things must end.” Our gay evening over, footsteps homeward did trend. And, as years come and go, we shall always remember, These happy hours which we spent together. R. M.

C. H. S. We wish to take advantage of this opportunity to thank all of those that have been directly or indirectly concerned in helping to bring this dream to a full realization. All of us deeply appreciate and respect the teachers of the grades and the faculty of the High School, for the sympathetic aid and encouragement that they have given us. when we ran up against problems that were too hard for us to grasp. For eight years, all through the grades, wc had labored to attain the goal of graduating from them. When we had attained this goal we thought that we had traveled quite a ways along life's highway; hut after spending four more years in High School, we realize that we have scarcely made a start towards the vital questions of life. We have come to realize that the twelve years we have spent in school are a fit training and developing of our minds, that will enable us to meet life’s problems broadmindedly and capably. W e are happy that this long hoj ed for event in our lives has come to pass, hut we also sorrow and regret to leave and part with our classmates and students of our dear Old High School. Thirteen of our number have fallen out of our ranks since we started in our Freshman Year; hut we still have twenty that are going to graduate, the second largest class that has ever been turned out by Atlanta High School. This goal we have finally attained is the result of years of effort. When the way seemed dark and discouraging, and we could not fully comprehend what the school was doing for us. our parents invariably came to our aid and encouraged us to go on. Every one of our parents have made sacrifices of some sort or another, to get us through school. They are the ones that we are indebted to in the largest measure for attaining this goal. May we in graduating from dear old A. C. H. S.. take with us the finest and best that she has given us. May we in the years to come, look back at our Alma Mater with respect and understanding of the splendid equipment that we received there in fighting the battles of life. And. once again, the Class of 1925 wishes to thank the school hoard, the faculty, and the friends of the Class of '25. that have been in anyway connected with the achieving of this ideal; and with the making of this glorious night possible in our lives.

The Atalanta Class Poem It seems that only yesterday. We started forth to school With slate and pencil in our hand To learn the golden rule. We have struggled mighty hard Sometimes our hearts were sore; But at last we've reached the summit. School days are nearly o’er. So here’s to Daddy Scheer. Who’s helped to guide us right. For when our days were gloomy He filled our paths with light. We elected Harriet president. And faithful she has been. She’s there when it comes to study As well as feeding the hens.

It’s Eldon, I fairly believe, And over his shoulder she winks an eve, Oh, how these women can deceive. It will be (|uiet along the Potomac. Till Rose’s voice is heard; And with its mellow sweetness She will hypnotize the birds. We can’t forget Frances down on the farm. Just look at our city belle; A churning away her youthful years, She has even lost her pretty marcel. We hope when Mildred Phillips goes out in the world, She will cease to he bashful and shy; And to get her a hubby and a swell limousine, She must learn to make good apple pies. A bunk artist, the world renowned. This place has Ruth Thomson attained We hope in the many, many years to come, That her drawing may bring her fame. To Louise we extend our good luck On her mission in a foreign land, If she knows her Bible, as well as books. She will reach the promised land. Oh Edith, dry those dewey eyes, Get over your shyness too, Hold up your head, go forth in the world, And do others as thev do vou. Now here’s to Gwennie, our daintiest lass, However a jewel in our Senior Class, She loves to advise us on all walks of life, May she practice her preachings and make some man a good wife.

The Atalanta 19 2 5 Senior Class History On the bright sunny morning of September 12th. 1921. we entered the A. C. H. S. to take up our duties as High School Students. At this time our class numbered thirty-three members and at our first class meeting we elected Miss Mae English, class advisor and the following officers: Burnell Miller. President; Alberta Swearingen. Vice-President; and Mildred Gilchrist, Secretary-Treasurer. We surprised the rest of the student body by furnishing three letter men to the football team; one to the basketball team; two to the Tri-Citv Debate Teams and one Tri-City Declaimer. Of course this was a great surprise to the upper classmen, but very few knew of the athletic, musical, and literary talent that was developing in the Class of ’25. During our Freshman year, we entertained the whole High School at a party in the gymnasium. Next September, we again appeared at the portals of old A. C. H. S. with the determination to make good our motto: “Watch Us Climb.’’ We chose Thelma Lown as President; Eldon Givens. Secretary-Treasurer; and Mr. Wilson, Class Advisor. We then turned our attentions to the party in honor of the Freshman Class. This was held near Lawndale on the evening of September 15. 1922. and with wieners and buns occupying the leading role, a very enjoyable time was had by the whole High School. A class party was also held later in the year and in spite of the slush and rain, a fine time was spent in playing childish games and listening to Victrola music. The fall of ’23 found us pursuing our studies in our seats on the north side of the large assembly aisle. Our officers who were to hear the brunt of our work as Juniors were: Harriet Turner. President; Wayne Chrisman, Vice- President; and Lena Rile}-, Secretary-Treasurer. Also Miss White was chosen Class Advisor and we feel that our successful social activities are due in a large measure to her untiring efforts in advising and aiding our class. Of course the principal social affair of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and we feel proud that we could act as hosts to such an exclusive group of faculty and Seniors. Now we approach the period of Modern History. Harriet was re-elected Class President and with Henry as Vice-President and Frances as Secretary-Treasurer. we were ready to embark upon the most thrilling and successful year of our High School career. But before we proceed with the events of the year we must say a word of appreciation to Mr. Scheer, who served as Class Advisor and to Miss Kitterman, who has been one of the chief factors in the production of this year’s Atalanta. On the evening of September 11th, 1924, we attended a party given by Louise at the home of Mrs. Minnie Hieronymus and this served to unite us in a closer bond of friendship.

Then on April 3. we were the guests of the Juniors at a most delightful banquet in the dining hall of the M. E. Church. And now the history of our deeds and affairs in Atlanta High is almost completed. But in closing, we must sum up all the significant facts of our four year’s stay in High School. In the first place two of our members have earned three letters in football and one has earned one. One of our members has two letters in basketball and another has one. Then we have furnished three boys out of the five in the class to the basketball five. All but one or two of the declaimers in A. C. H. S. in the past four years have been from the Class of ’25. We have never furnished less than two members to the debate teams for three years. Also we have ranked very high in vocal and other musical events. B. H. M., ’25. Senior Charge Friends, faculty and fellow students; we are now at the close of our four years in dear old A. C. H. S. Three years of this time have been spent with ye honorable Juniors—the Class of ’26. During all these three years we have tried to point out your many faults and to instruct you in how best you may correct them. We know that these seeds of instruction and help have not fallen upon fertile soil, hut once again we will take a few moments of our valuable time to advise you in what ways vou mav best imn- ve yourselves so that you may attain the high standard set up by the Class of ’25. In the first place, there is Frank Watt, your honorable and esteemed president. We understand that Frank played a wonderful game of basketball against Beason. but we are sure that if the Sunday night trips of his to this fair village are not stopped, he will not be quite so willing to uphold the honors of A. C. H. S. against this team next year. And there is Thelma Lown. How dare you, Thelma, encroach upon the exclusive privileges of a Senior by ordering Eldon home so early in the night or shall we say, the early hours of morning? Very little is to be said concerning the faults of Adrian. We are sure he will be of great help to his parents when he grows up. But. O, Adrian, please put away vour French harp and other playthings and pay more attention to the fair sex and other more important things of school life. Harriet Irish, you should become acquainted with some great track coach, so that he can instruct you in the proper style to be used in your dashes after the boys who have usurped your comb, compact and other school necessities. 11111111111111IIIIII111111111IIIIII11111111111111!11IIIIII111111111111)11111111111111111III III 1111111111111111111111111111111111111IIII111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111II w : 111111111111 ■ 111111111111 i 1111 i 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111! 1111111111111111111111111111111111 The Atalanta 1 9 2 5 = William Peifer, may we suggest that you spend a few paltry sheckles for a permanent wave. Who knows, this may he the very means of acquiring a permanent Sheba. Geneva Chandler, please let the Class of ’27 know of your appearance in the Assembly by walking more heavily on your heels and not so much on vour toes. ilbur Phillips, why should you spend all of your precious hours in working to do the job which your other classmates have refused? Remember that all work and no play makes Tom. Dick or Wilbur a dull boy. To Marian Tuttle, we are sorry that we can give little advice. We have heard that she takes the advice of certain lower classmen. But just this one tip. Marian, hob-nails save the soles. For goodness sakes. Dale, why don’t you invest in a second hand car of the type that made Detroit famous, so that you can visit the County Seat without being asked to take a ride in a baby buggy. To Alma Leesman we suggest that she purchase an aeroplane so that she may flv to town without running the risk of becoming stuck in our famous Illinois mud. This will certainly prove a remedy for her numerous tardy and absence slips. Lyle Chrisman should purchase a radio or a goodly supply of sheet music, so that he can keep posted on all of the latest musical hits and thus entertain the students with all of the popular solos of the day. To one member of the Class of ’26, we give a distinct advantage. Juniors, do not hesitate to ask advice of Dorothy Williams. Her experience in English IV Class, together with its studious atmosphere, will be a great help to all of you next year. Ah, Billy Gulick, can’st thou not see that sly and winsome looks of the fair maidens of our city. All that is needed of you is a few advances and they will flock to you as flies do to a jar of honey. Marian Haines, we understand what a great help the poetical ability of your mother has been in our dear High School for the past few years. But, Marian, if this responsibility is not shifted to some one else, you will be required to stay at home and do the housework, while vour mother writes poetrv for the Class of ’26. Next we come to a group of three girls who are very seldom seen individually. Certainly a suggestion or two would not be amiss for anyone of them. Nancy, Ruth, and Alice, let us suggest that you secure some stout cord with which to tie your combs, compacts, etc., around your neck so that they will not be lost. We have heard from a reliable source that garage men have removed dozens of compacts from under the seats of some well-known cars of this town and in one instance a great deal of labor was required to remove a disfigured comb attached to a ribbon from the fans of one of these cars.

In Elsie Kindred, we find very little to criticize; hut one thing you must refrain from when you become a Senior, are the old time dances on Saturday night. Donald Edmonson, we advise and almost demand as a Senior, that you begin immediately to gravel and improve the road from your house to town, so that you may give the attention due a member of our class during the winter months. Colene Hoose, we charge you to please forget your studies for a short time and devote your attentions to some handsome sheik since this specie is so well represented in your class. To Omah Hooten, we give only great praise. She has found her side partner in a former member of our class and to a girl who has done this, we see a very bright future. Majorie Crandall should use her musical talent in the support of better radio programs. We are sure that the station at Eureka would he very pleased to have her appear before their microphone and she might also he assisted by Willard and his clarinet. Why, Oh why, Bernice Atchison, should you walk to school every morning with second hand Fords selling so cheap? Purchase one of these at say. about twenty-five dollars on the installment plan, and let the rest of the world go by. Our friend Annie, who works by fits and starts—mostly fits—we hope that you will forget your horror of manual labor, for to be a good Senior you must use your strong right arm, as well as your brilliant cerebrum. We hope, fair maid, that no man lures you into the foils of matrimony, for there we fear you would let the dirt remain and spend all your time decorating your home with harmonious color schemes. We now approach a member of your class who is known over the whole High School for her extreme bashfulness. Now Eunice, we all advise that you stand before the mirror, like Colene Hoose, and talk to yourself, and when you see how beautiful you are when talking, we all feel sure that next year you will have to be advised to keep quiet. East, but by no means least, we come to the only literary talented member of your class. Juniors, you should encourage Christina in her literary work and some day you will be very proud of her when she has made a great name as an after-dinner speaker. Now I wish to bid you a fond farewell in behalf of the Class of 1925. The least I can say for you. is that I hope that you will follow in the footprints of the Seniors and that you will make as much of a success of your final year in High School as we feel that we have in ours. W. J. C. ’25.

In her can be found a most striking example as to what the Seniors have not been. She has carried a very grave responsibility when she risked her reputation in the hands of the Senior Class. You have Harriet to thank for much of your success. Without her. you would have been forced to say. “We came. We despaired, We surrendered.” Harriet is too much above the average for most of you to aspire to reach, but there is one boy among you that has succeeded in reaching that exalted position. The rest of you will do well to watch him and see how he grows. In coming to Alfreda: our advice to you is, to continue your apprenticeship in the doctor’s office. Just think what that may mean to you in later years, should you miscalculate the distance some night and hit one of the children. Another thing Alfreda, remember that shoulders were made to carry things and not alwavs to be carried in the same manner. I will now repeat several questions that 1 have often been asked and will do mv best to give good sound answers for them. Why is Eldon so thin? Why does he seem to lack energy when he arrives at school ? Why is Eldon continually wishing for wisdom? These three questions can be answered by explaining that poor Eldon was the victim of a slick salesman. Eldon purchased a second hand Ford. We advise you, Audra, to talk more and not even think of keeping a secret. If you attempt to do so, your eyes will tell on you. for in your eyes only, seems to lie your power of expression. If you find it beyond your power to control SI w 19 2 5 = Most esteemed Seniors of the Class of ’25: We Juniors, have striven bravely to give our strict and undivided attention to the words of well meant advice, wisdom and council which you have this night expounded. But. it is for us. the Juniors, rather than you. the Seniors, to point out and explain wherein you have unmistakenlv failed to live up to the high standards set by the dear old A. C. H. S. This being the case, we will now attempt to reach out and lend a kind, helping hand in an effort to see you started out into the cold, hard world in the right spirit. First before we diverge and go into details, let us stop and consider the Class of ’25 collectively. When you proudly took your seats by the windows the first day of school, you thought you would be a bright and shining example for us. As it has proved out. you eventually reckoned without your host. You forgot the saying. “He who laughs last, laughs best.” When you started in as Seniors you laughed at us as inferiors. Now you are through with your good times in A. C. H. S.. while we are only well started. Now the Juniors can laugh and leave the weeping to the dignified Seniors.

I would suggest that you get a pair of colored glasses and maybe you will have more luck. A great deal of advice might he tendered to Burnell in respect to his habits. Although you would never guess it, Burnell used to be noted for his ability as a singer in his own church. Sorry to say, but since the Junior girls have become so attractive, he has shamefully neglected to cultivate this remarkable talent. Burnell, I would suggest that your parents use some good hickory oil and get you started again. I will here take time to compliment one honorable member of your class. As a whole the Seniors are forward and like to be outstanding features. Edith Brown does not possess this poor and undesirable quality. I would here like to say that more of you Seniors should try and copy after Edith a little more than you do. Now Frances, you are doomed to have a great disappointment if you are not more careful of your behavior. We all know that Miss Kitterman is very lenient with the Seniors in the assembly, but she is not the one that carefully checks up the deportment grades on the report cards at the end of each six weeks. Take heed and the next time you find a cross-word puzzle, be sure and work it lie fore you get to school. During his many leisure hours at school, George has made a complete and systematic study of human nature and character. If George will only sell his shoe-polish and nail-file, wind a red handkerchief about his head, get a pair of red pants and a green shirt, he can easily pass as a gypsy and make an easy living by telling fortunes. We all know that Gwendolyn entertains ambitions of becoming a school teacher. Don’t do like the absent minded professor who had two packages. In one he carried his lunch and in the other a disected frog for his class to study that day. He went to class after he had eatin his lunch and opened his parcel to get the frog. When the contents came to view they proved to be the professor’s lunch. The frog had gone where the lunch was supposed to and the professor became a big man after that. It seems inevitable that Henry should become a minister. However, Henry, please remember what happened to the parson and the one hoss shay, when you build your own Ford from parts which your congregation throws away. Furthermore. when you get a position, if you value it, you should be very careful and practice your singing when the deacons are away. Concerning Lena, we have both warnings and congratulations to offer. Lena is one of the few Seniors who has not found it beneath her dignity to descend to the level of the Junior class. If she continues thus, it will soon he far above the Seniors poor power to add or detract from the attentions she will receive. Nevertheless Lena, it won’t pay for you to bank too much on the ability of a Junior to always keep your head above the rush of Atlanta’s society circles. Concerning Louisa, we have a great deal of suggestions that could he made, but we will limit ourselves to a few here.

We admire your taste Wayne, but don't you think you should divide your attention with some of the jealous Senior girls. And now in taking our leave of you. the Class of ’25, allow me to congratulate you on being the best class that ever graduated from dear old A. C. 11. S. this year. In behalf of the Class of ’26, I thank you for your desire to help us for better or for worse as the case may have been. But forgetting our petty disagreements of the past years, we, the Class of ’26, wish to bid you, the graduating class, a fond farewell. A. W. W. ’26. Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’25 We, the Senior Class, being of sound minds and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills bv us made. First: To our friendly enemies, tbe Class of ’26, we do give and bequeath: Our seats by the windows; our excellent ability of behaving, especially in English IV Class; our courtesy toward the faculty to their faces; the publication of the annual and everyone of its joys along with it; our industrious square, and quiet habits in the class rooms an l other places; and our fairness in acquiring good grades. Second: We. bequeath to “Daddy Scheer,’’ a perfect right to a new nickname. To Mr. Kollman. our dignified principal, we give a moderate measure of our flippant frivolity. To Mr Coe. all of the old discarded tire chains that helped the Senior boys in their high school career, in order that he may never be late to school again. To Miss Beebe, we do hereby bequeath, one dozen perfectly good Senior made placards, to be used as a warning to all her future students to park their chewing gum outside of the English room. On Miss Brackney, we bestow all the coquettish ways of the Senior girls. To Mr. Peifer. we bequeath our eagerness to smile for the photographer.

They have been based on the theory that is generally accepted by all of the noted phsycologists of the present day. The theory that life is hut a huge pendulum, swinging from one extreme to another.

The love of art will pull you thru and later when you have won your battle, you will he considered a success in the Bohemian worlds of every city.

But have no fears, once the step is made, you will Audra you wrote in a memory book of a classmate, under the “want column, the word happy and I am reminded of those immortal words, “Many a word of truth is hidden behind the light veil of bandige.

You resist any analysis, without which I am helpless. our eyes have that “meet me later look and your face is that of a Madonna. And your pastime after school tends to make you api ear frivolous, while we know you to be an earnest and industrious student.

In the innermost room a fat old man behind a large flat top desk dictating to his secretary, a small, slight girl, who wears very business-like glasses. Thelma she resembles you. but it can't he, for she has no freckles. Still she has your color of hair and eyes, yes it must he you. Mii.dred P.: I here is one member of the class that left her home town shortly after school was out, and where is she to he found now? Why, not long ago, there appeared in the New York Times, a whole page devoted to the latest dress styles and on this page the name of Mildred Phillips was found in large letters. Mildred is making quite a success in the business world. Loiisa : Since you, Louisa, seem happy always with a penny stick of chewing gum to amuse you and since you will undoubtedly always face the troubles coming in the future with a dare-devil, don’t care spirit, we can guarantee your success in life. But whether your triumph will be as a trans-Atlantic telephone operator or as the leading lady in Mack Sennett’s comedies, we cannot sav and leave that for the future to reveal. Ei.don : You will accomplish wonders in this world, Eldon, because of your brilliance and common sense, but mostly because a certain saucy bobbed-haired young lady has.already begun her life work of making you “toe the mark.” We can see you in the crystal clearly as the famous humorist of a great newspaper. On the side you will edit occasionally a serious volume of poetry, such as Miss Beebe taught you to appreciate in your Senior days in old Atlanta High. Alfreda : And now we come to the one who is destined to a great deal of adventure and romance. Alfreda, very soon after your graduation, you will take a trip through the southwest. In a small town in Arizona, the train which you are on, will be held up and you will be abducted by the bandits. Later you will be rescued by a rancher. Henry: ou will follow your chosen trade, but with some variations. Henry, you will go to Harvard Theological School, but there ends vour dreams.

At college you will be a veritable queen of the campus, the belle of the season, and the life of every party. z You will he wooed by several men from Columbia University. Now comes the second part. You will remain true to your first love. After graduation, you will marry a farmer who courted you in your Senior yeai in High School. Mildred Gilchrist: Mildred, in your case the pendulum does not swing until very late and I am unable to see what change will come. But 1 can see this: You are going to enter a profession that none in this class are fitted to enter. It will be driving racing cars. You will be the first woman professional driver to run 200 miles -per hour on a half-mile dirt track. We will all say that you got your training on Route four in papa’s sedan. Gwendolyn : Ten years have past and I am going to see a famous dancer who has offered z her services at a charity bazaar. My seat is back so far that I cannot see her features, hut I can see her marvelous dancing easily. Was such grace ever seen before, such poise; such a perfect figure; a dancer so tireless? After her dance. I meet my old friend Flo Ziegfield and he agrees to introduce me to her. Ah! the pendulum has swung again. It is Gwendolyn Miller of the C lass of 25. Mamie : This same night fate is good to me for I meet another famous classmate of = mine. Mamie Mapes, you are there giving a concert on your violin and it all s came about this way. You played one evening at a church in your home town, = and as it happened an old man who loved violin music and who was also a very z good teacher heard you play, and, upon seeing your possibilities, offered to teach = you all he could. Under his tutorage you achieved success. Burnell : You will go to a law school, after graduating you will accept an offer that E will be made to you by a firm of corporation lawyers. As the years roll by, you will become rich and powerful, but unfortunately you will have the reputation of E being a shyster lawyer and a tool of the big interests. But it turns out all right.

You will realize your ambitions to be a famous E declaimer through your children. E George : Xow for you. George, the pendulum swings a long way. At college vou E will lie an A student.

After your E college career you will have a few lean years as a clerk in a law office. But vou r tenaciousness will win for you the support of members of the State Bar Associa-E tion.

What those lives are to he. depends much upon the foundations we have been building for them in our High School years. We cannot pass from the portals of Old Atlanta High to the new life awaiting us without extending our sincere thanks to our parents and townsfolks for all the privileges they have made possible for us to enjoy here. Now the race is won and as we celebrate the glorious victory we earnestly thank every teacher who helped guide our faltering steps toward the design we longed for. Classmates, there’s only one word more and the last must he to you. e did not realize how hard it was going to he to say it, did we.; In our work here together we have become very dear friends and it is always hard to sa hood-bye to a friend. We have shared our pleasures, our triumphs, and our few disappointments for so long that we shall miss the old companionships more than we now realize when we are too far apart to enjoy them any longer. e are passing out of High School to the steeper paths of life. So. as we ascend to loftier heights keeping ever in view our class motto: “Watch Us Climb, let our record he stainless and our ideals be high. Let us, as we separate, go forth with the determination to prove to the world that our A. C. H. S. is certainly the best to be found. Let us make loyalty our watchword. Let us show the w'orld that we are the stuff, the best citizens and truest patriots are made of, carrying in our hearts the same spirit of courage and resolution with which we must now hid one another farew-ell. Let me in speaking this last word, propose this toast: Our Class! Here’s that she may always be in the right! Here’s that her standard may ever be white! Here’s that whatever our future may be, Steady and fearlessly God-like may be, Our Class! H. M.
