With a cheery smile and Z1 wave of the hand They wandered into a fairer land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since they linger there. Think of them as faring on as dear, In the love of there as the love of here. Mild and gentle as they were brave, When the sweetest love of their lives they gave To simple things, where the flowers grew, Pure as their smiles they were likened too. The touches of their hands they stayed As reverently as their lips have prayed. Think of our friends just as the same, I say, For they are not dead: they are just awayf, - Page 18 f. 1926 GHE ATALANTA I 926 GOOD-BYE We've had four years of happiness In old Atlanta High, Now the saddest time of all has come When we must say Good-bye. As we go forth our ways must part, But memories still remain To draw ns back, where 'ere we roam, To our dear school again. Our commencement is just before us, When we must face anew The duties that life holds for usg There's much to learn and do. But our hearts and hands are willing, Oh! may our aims be highg And ever lead us toward success When we have said Good-bye. Dear Teachers, we'll always remember The lessons that you have taught, Your kind words and your sympathy, When for passing grades we fought. Now our high school days are over, Our last test flunked or won, We join as a class in thanking you For all these things you have done. Good-bye -It shall not be farewell- Sometime again we shall meet, But happy hours are ever short And days of youth are fleet. May me improve these shining hours And climb each hill on high That leads us toward life's commencement, As we sadly whisper Good-bye. S. C.

Foolish question number 1,947! That was the day the renowned class of '27 first entered the portals of the as- sembly and chose their subjects for the year. Quite a few of our brilliant and illustrious class were not satisfied with the usual four-subject sched- ule, but preferred to take five studies which they carried throughout the year with ease. We realized that the responsibility of ruling our class was very great, but we finally decided to display our eye for beauty by electing Mr. Scheer, class adviser, Francis Trigg, president, Marian Hieronymus, vice presi- dent, and Clarence Miller, secretary-treasurer. The upper classmen did not long remain ignorant of our unequalefl abilities, and before the first month was over, the Sophomores gave a school picnic in honor of us. Later on in the year we returned the hospital- ity by inviting the entire High School to a theatre party with light refresh- men,ts afterwards at the Wisteria. We completed our courses without difficulty, for the majority of the class were so bright that the teachers did not think it necessary for them to take the exams. The following September found us more skilled in the various arts and sciences. We not only developed scholars, but also declaimers, musicians, novelists, horse-shoe pitchers, debaters, and baseball players. At the earliest date possible we held a class meeting where we chose the following officers: Mr. Kollman, class adviser, Merlin Ludlam, presi- dent, Marian Hieronymus, vice president, and LaVene Leach, secretary- treasurer. That year we showed the old A. C. H. S. a good time at a wiener roast held near Armington. And we didn't initiate the Freshies. Oh no! We also found time for several class parties during the year, which we all enjoyed very much. ' By Fall, 1925, we had lost a few of our scholars and gained a few other valuable additions' in exchange. We soon had a class meeting and chose, without hesitation, Conrad Miller, president, Marian Hieronymus, vice president, Cora Cochran, secretary-treasurer, with Miss Houston, class adviser. Under her kind, motherly care, many ingenious plans for making money by the bushel have been revealed. We are proud to say that the officers of the Athletic Association are Juniors. Since our High School career is more than half over now, we are beginning to wonder what will ever become of the Atlanta Community High School when we are gone. ' Colors: Lavender and White. M. G.

C. H. S. and prepared to meet the trials of that school much to the disgust of their superiors, the class of '27 and the faculty. After they had fully recovered from the reaction caused by their new environment they convened and chose the following officers: Miss Brack- ney, class adviserg Joseph King, presidentg Delmar Houghton, vice presi- dentg Raymond Begolka, secretary, and Mildred Foote, treasurer. Little by little through the untiring efforts of Miss Brackney, our Beacon Light, and by proper cultivation, the class progressed until they had reached a stage worthy of being called High School students. But behold the class of '28 in the fall of '25! Could it be possible that the well-groomed sedate class is the same that marched into High School last fall to assume the duties of Freshies? Most certainly, as our experience as Freshmen influenced us to such an extent that we are now one of the bright lights of A. C. H. S. We again met, organized our class and elected these officers: Mildred Foote, presidentg Delmar Houghton, vice presidentg Bertha Becker, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Brackney again as our adviser. We thus far have attracted much attention by giving the Sophomore party during which we initiated the Freshies. We are now setting a splendid example for the Freshmen, who are trying to follow our footsteps by be- coming stately in bearing and well-behaved in manner. So hats off to the class of '28! And may it blossom forth as the most remarkable class in High School to have its fame recorded with other famous classes in the chronicles of Atlanta Community High School.

I don't think we were half so funny as some of them.D Are you going to take Latin ? I guess I'll take Domestic Art. Come on and take Latin with me. Bother! Why don't the teachers decide for us as they did in the grades. what we are to take? CI Wish I were back in the eighth gradej After getting into the wrong classes for three or four Weeks we finally became more or less established in our routine. At the first opportunity a meeting of the Freshies was called. Thus came into being the class of 1929 which immediately elected the following officers: Vaudrene Hoose, presi- dent: Florence Church, vice president: Marjorie Satterfield, secretary- treasurer: Mrs. Kollman. class adviser. With this group of officers to guide our course through the first year of A. C. H. S. We set out in earnest to discover, if we could. what it was that we were really expected to accomplish in this new and untried realm. We eventually discovered where the scissors and paste were kept, and learned that if one wishes to make a hit with the teachers he should frequently be seen consulting the encyelopedias. We soon noticed that some of the Seniors learned their lessons as they sauntered leisurely to their class rooms. This seemed to us a splendid method which would leave us time for more pleasant diversions in the assembly. tGuess their lessons aren't as hard as ours. We couldn't make this scheme work.l , Experience. that dearest of all teachers, soon taught us that While rolling ink bottles on the floor might be a very happy diversion, it had disastrous effects on our deportment grades. Tradition has it that each Freshman class must be host to the entire High School and Faculty at some time during the year. We made haste to conform to this time honored custom. and so on Friday. November 13, we Freshies entertained the High School Faculty. wives and husbands tor did they entertain us?l at a masouerade party. Everybody said it was one of the best Freshman partizs ever given. tApplesaucel They must be liinting for another one.J Up to this time We have done nothing but Write themes, whisper, make noise, and giggle. Still we cannot expect to excel in these arts. The other classes have had so much more experience. Class Colors: Orchid and Maize. S.

The third inning seemed to be our jinx as we lost both the Hartsburg game and the Elkhart game in that inning. The boys played their best game of ball with Beason. They made few errors and wielded a mighty stick. The worst game of the season was played at New Holland. The day was cold and it rained during the whole of the game. The boys could not catch the ball, even when it was just thrown to them. The only redeeming feature was Knecht's falling catch in right field of a high fly. Conrad Miller was catcher and captain and was a dependable, heady player. Owen McBrayer had a world of stuff on the ball and ably held down the pitcher's position. Frank Watt, although a very weak hitter, was a good first baseman because he could catch 'em high or low. Guilford Pratt was sure of grounders but he, like Frank, could not hit. Clarence Luther at short was a demon at bat and also played his position well. Harry Gipson held down the hot corner in good shape and, like Luther, could hit anything. Earl Crawford, Dean Lower, Donald Miller and Delmar Houghton took turns in the field. Lowell Atteberry and Harold Haines were utility men of A No. 1 caliber and Wayne Knecht was our part time pitcher and fielder. He made two sensational catches in the field and pitched one game, winning it easily. At the beginning of Spring practice, we were without our old infield and one outfield. However these gaps are being filled up with new material and we are hoping to have a successful season.

The boys showed wonderful improvement in their team work and basket shooting as the season progressed. However, Atlanta lost many games, due to the fact that they were unable to locate the basket. Time after time, Atlanta carried the ball through their opponents' defense in perfect style only to miss an easy sneaker, In spite of Coach Brainard's careful tutoring and the efforts of the team, this jinx was present at too many games for it to be funny. This season marked the last appearance of Watt, Edmondson, Chrisman, and Frantz, who are lost through graduation. - Page .36 - u ' 1926 GHE ATALANTAA 1926 The Squad Dale Frantz, forward and captain, is a clean and Scrappy player. He possesses a good eye for the hoop, especially from about the center of the court. His loss detracts greatly from the offensive power of the team. Frank Watt, forward, has played on the first team for four years and has proved his ability. His eye for the basket is uncanny and his floor work a sensation. In his loss we lose our scoring ace and best offensive player. His place will be a difficult one to fill. Donald Edmondson, center, although playing regular for the first time this year, plays a very commendable game. He possesses a good eye for the basket and he plays the floor well. Lyle Chrisman, guard, plays a hard consistent game. He proved his ability to master his position and in every pinch he showed his true worth. His mark is characterized by F-I-G-H-T. Clarence Lu ther, guard, is our freshman star. He covered his corner of the court well. We are lucky to have several years of service still coming from him. Conrad Miller, guard, has repeatedly proved his worth as a reserve man. Next year we will be relying on him to stop 'em. Connie takes basketball seriously. Donald Miller, forward, is one of our fastest players. He is a dead shot under the basket and is a hard man to guard. His floor work is exceptional. Dean Lower, guard, is a new man at the game but has showed marked improvement during the season. Dean is small but plays a good defen- sive game. Harry Gipson, forward, plays a commendable game, and while he served only as a reserve he possesses a good eye for the basket. Verne Riley, center, is showing consistent development. Although just a reserve this year, Verne has great possibilities. He has a good eye for the hoop and next year ought to be a star. Delmar Houghton, forward, is a small but scrappy player. He is a good offensive man and plays the floor well. COUNTY TOURNAMENT The fifth annual Logan County Basketball tournament was held February 4, 5, 6. Atlanta drew Emden for their first opponent. This game was played on the Orphans' Home court at Lincoln. The game was slow, a very easy victory for Atlanta and Coach Brainard saved his regulars for the game next evening by using subs. The final score was 37 to 9 in our favor. The next night the team journeyed to Elkhart, where they met the speedy Mt. Pulaski five. Atlanta's hopes were lost in this game shortly after the second quarter opened, when Frank Watt was eliminated from the game by the way of the personal foul route. The boys all played a good game, but for some reason could not hit the ring and the game ended with Mt. Pulaski leading by a score of 26 to 9. W. J. P., '26. L. Page 37 - 1926 ee.. A 56'HE ATALANTA T-f1.1926 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Basketball tournament was held in Lincoln for the fourth consecutive year at the Lincoln College gymnasium. Kenney was our first opponent. Atlanta opened the third session of the tournament with a victory over the Kenney team 40 to 22. Kenney started a rally in the last half but it fell short of the lead which our team had rolled up during the first half. This victory gave Atlanta the right to compete against Lincoln to determine which team should enter the semi-finals. Our boys were pretty well worn out from the game in the afternoon. However they put up a good fight and at half time Lincoln was leading by a slim margin of only two points. In the second half Lincoln registered six field goals and two free throws While the Red and White registered but one field goal. This gave Lincoln the game and the right to enter the semi-finals against Beason, W. J. P., '26. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE AND SCORES Atlanta, 115 McLean, 185 here.

Tryouts were held and twenty members were selected. Practices have been held every Monday afternoon after school under the direction of Miss McClure. The boys have all been encouraged as a result of the rapid progress they have made. Much time has been spent working on songs for the operetta, Uncle Sam's Boys in Camp. Up and down the scale they have chased the various notes, until now they are able to produce a harmony that even the most severe critics will pro- nounce a howling success. The personnel of the Glee Club is as follows: First Tenor: Dale Frantz, Robert Reise, William Peifer, Earl Kindred. Second Tenor: Harold Haines, Maurice Hadaway, Lyle Chrisman, Francis Trigg, Owen McBrayer. I First Bass: Donald Edmondson, Howard Dagley, Merle Leesman, Dale Mason, June Crandall.

Practice was held every Thursday afternoon after school. The friendly rivalry between the boys' and girls' organizations in this line, under the leadership of Miss McClure, promises well for the future of both. The Girls' Glee Club made its first public appearance in an operetta, Lady Frances, during National Music Week.

The boys in the High School have shown more interest in this work this year than ever before. The percentage of boys is greater than it was last year. Of course the girls still hold the majority, but We are glad to see the boys interested. The chorus has met every Monday afternoon and Worked on several num- bers from popular operas as its share on the Music Week programs. The enthusiasm and interest displayed has been greatly appreciated by the leader, Miss McClure. It has been noted that good progress has been made over the work done last year and we hope the good work will continue in years to come. B.

This band cannot be called a grade school band, neither can the high school claim it, because almost every grade from the third to the senior class in high school is represented. Much of the credit for the success of this band is due to its instructor, Mr. Larison, and its business manager, Wilbur Phillips. But we cannot over- look the musicians themselves. The boys and girls have Worked hard and practiced faithfully to make the band a Worth While organization. It has given valuable assistance to the athletic teams of the school during basket- ball season. Also it appeared on the program at the Logan County Teacher's Institute held at Lincoln, February 26.

The orchestra has been one of the prominent organizations in High School for the past five years. Rehearsals have been held each Week under the direction of Mr. Larison and much time and work has been spent in learning to play some of the more difficult compositions. The orchestra is composed of both high school and grade students. Since so many of those who belong to the orchestra are in the graduating class it has been necessary to initiate several younger students to take their places in order to make it possible to have an orchestra at graduation time. The roster of the orchestra includes the following: Violins: Mr. Scheer, Merlin Ludlam, and Annabell Thomson. Cello: Marjorie Crandall. Clarinet: Raymond Lucas. Cornets: Roy Gresham and June Crandall. B Flat Tenor Saxophone: Robert McKown. C Melody Saxophones: Nancy Hoblit and Alice Ash. E Flat Saxophones: Jack McKown and Wilbur Phillips.

First place was awarded to Colene Hoose in the dramatic reading while second honors went to Clarence Miller.

The crowd gathered at 5:30 to partake of the well prepared spaghetti supper, which was served in cafeteria style in the basement. After the supper everyone rushed to the second floor, where there were various attractions. The novelty booth, with its hats, confetti, horns and gay-colored balloons, received much attention. There were many good candies sold at the candy booth. One end of the hall was given over to the cake walk. This was much fun, and many cakes were given away here. The children all enjoyed the grab bag, which held secret prizes. Much confetti was strewn about, and great noise prevailed. The shows were located on both floors. They were in the hands of the teachers of the grade and high schools. They were very clever, and showed careful preparation. We have always heard how great the Duncan sisters were, but here we found their equal. Among the other shows were the Hat Show, Kinky Kids Parade, and US. O. S. The attendance this year was much smaller than usual, on account of bad roads and weather, and the great amount of sickness. The gross receipts were 35280.00 We hope that, in the hereafter, the carnival will continue to exist. V.

A few of the Alumni were present, one of which, Mrs. Edna Applegate, gave us a splendid talk. Coach Brainard also gave us a report of the baseball team this season. This was followed by some songs and yells, after which all were dismissed in order to get home and dressed by 1:15, the time set to report. Because the weather was so disagreeable the parade could not be held out-of-doors, but after the students were judged they paiaded through the lower hall, where a crowd awaited them. After the parade the winners were announced. Those in High School were as follows: Senior class, Geneva Chandler and Frank Wattg Junior c'ass, Dorothy Hubner and Clarence Millerg Sophomore class, Hazel Smith got the prize for the girl, but none of the boys masked, Freshmen class, Sarah Applegate and Robert Reise. The grade winners were: first, Jean Knecht and Jerald Colawg second, Hazel Fulk and Wayne Murphy, third, Emily Jean Crihfield and Chester Deemerg fourth, Sarah Watt and Earl Brandt, fifth, Tiby Rose Cohen and Martin Loercherg sixth, Julia Reinmiller and Dick Tuttleg seventh, Christene Maxey and Burnell Applegateg eighth, Dorothy Baker and Har- land Hammitt. A baseball game was scheduled for the afternoon, but, on account of the weather, a basketball game was substituted. The McLean Community High School defeated Atlanta, but this was our first game of the season. A cafeteria supper was served in the basement of the Christian church while the High School orchestra played. The Juniors took charge of the candy booth. After supper the people gathered into the church auditorium, where a program was given. A part of it consisted in the presentation of the coupons to the winners, who were dressed in their prize-winning costumes. After the program everybody departed for their various abodes and I think all were well pleased with the results of our fifth annual Home- coming. C. K.

S., started out to find si suitable place for a weiner roast. They found this place at Medberry's pasture, near Armington. No sooner had they arrived than they began to initiate the poor Freshies. The upper classmen found great pleasure in making the Freshies do unreasonable things, but the Freshies proved to be good sports and were welcomed joyfully into the High School. After the upper classmen had used all their ideas in tormenting the Freshies the next question was When Do We Eat? When the boys, tmostly Freshiesl had picked up enough sticks to suit Miss Brackney, the fire was started and you know what followed! When the Freshies had eaten everything in sight, the Faculty and the upper classmen decided il was time to take the little ones home. Thus one more Sophomore Weiner Roast was recorded in history. M. K., '28. THE FRESHMAN PARTY The Class of '29, under the leadership of their adviser, Mrs. Kollmaiu, entertained the faculty and the upper classmen of the High School with i masquerade party, in the school gymnasium, Friday, Nov. 13, 1925. The gymnasium was tastefully decorated in black and orange, :1 cozy living room being arranged in one end. Hoboes, gypsies, and Indians rubbed elbows with fair damsels in eve- ning gowns and gentlemen in dress suits. A Chinaman armed with a huge gun kept the crowd orderly. Darol Phillips carried off the prize for the best costumed girl and the boys' prize went to Merlin Ludlam. After unmasking, the crowd was entertained with radio programs, broadcast by groups of Freshman lads and lasses. Some clever numbers were given, requests being numerous and popular. Refreshments of ice cream and cake brought the evening's entertain- ment to zu climax. The upper classmen assured us that they enjoyed the evening and the Freshies were unanimous in agreeing that it was the best party the class of '29 had attended since entering the sacred portals of A.

The members of the Senior Class, the faculty and their wives were invited to the Methodist church at six-thirty o'clock to attend the banquet. Upon arriving, the guests were ushered into the cozy parlor which was beautifully decorated with the Senior Class colors, azure blue and white The room was lighted by floor lamps and furnished with couches and easy chairs. When the guests had all assembled, the doors into the dining room were thrown open, revealing the banquet hall skillfully decorated in rain- bow colors. Fourteen small tables were placed in the form of an A, and decorated with blue candles tied with white bows, and nut cups in the form of pink roses-the Senior class flower. ' The four course dinner was delicious and was daintily served by six girls of the Sophomore class. The menu consisted of: Fruit Cup Supreme of Chicken Harvard Beets Mashed Potatoes Deviled Eggs Parker House Rolls Butter Curls Spring Salad Surprise Sandwiches Ice Cream Angel Cake Coffee Mints Miss Houston, the Junior Class Adviser acted as toastmistress for the evening.

After this program in the dining room, the guests on returning to the parlor, were each presented with a pink tea rose. During the dinner hour, music was furnished by a six-piece orchestra. After the program in the dining room some interesting games were played in the parlor, closing with the arrival of a large pie of excelsior covered with bluebirds. each with a note under its wing. Each guest was presented with one, which they read, causing much merriment. - Thus one more Junior-Senior banquet had become a history and a pleasant memory. A.

SYNOPSIS apartment in Riverside Drive, A reckless and wealthy youth, Ned Pembroke, Writes ardent love letters to a show girl. An attorney brother-in-law, George Howell, who steals them in an attempt to prevent Ned from being sued for breach-of- promise, gets his traveling bag mixed up with the grips of a burglar who has just stolen a valuable necklace from the mother of the indiscreet youth. Howell's wife, Ottily, finds the jewels in his traveling bag and accuses him of being a thief, and notifies the owner of the necklace, Mrs. Pembroke, that her jewels are found and for her to come for them. Howell is still unawareof the exchange of grips. Susie, the maid, steals the jewels from Ottily in order to try and get the reward of one thousand dollars. The burglar, King, comes to the apartment and succeeds in obtaining the jewels from the maid. Mrs. Pembroke comes to the flat and finds Susie and King discussing matters together. King, whom Mrs. Pembroke thinks a detec- tive, restores the necklace to Mrs. Pembroke and as a result gets the reward of which he gives Susie a few dollars. At the same time he returns Ned's letters to Mrs. Pembroke. King makes his escape, leaving behind his badge upon which was written, to the surprise of everyone- Official Dog Catcher. Directed by C.

There were ten con- testants in all. Colene Hoose, Atlanta's contestant was given second place by all three judges, but, because of the fact that she exceeded the alloted time limit by one minute and ten seconds, her high percentage was pulled down, which cost her the place she had earned. All the judges commended her on her interpretation and rendition of the very difficulty reading, The Song and the Man. The contest in Humorous Reading and Oration was held at New Hol- land on April 23rd. Edward Parsons represented us in the humorous reading and Clarence Miller in oration. Edward took his audience by storm with the manner in which he gave his reading, In the Toils of the Enemy, and came through with flying colors and first place. Clarence Miller showed great power in the delivery of his oration, Americanism. This was the first time Atlanta has had a representative in oration for many years. In consideration of the fact that he was placed against contestants of experience, we, as well as he can be proud that he won third place for Atlanta. The music contest was held on April 24th at Lincoln. Joseph King was our contestant in piano, and Evelyn Troxel in voice. Joseph's execution and interpretation, the judges said, were very good, but the piece was too heavy for him. Although he was given no place in the awards, we were proud of him for his commendable presentation of the most difficult composition in the contest. Evelyn Troxell sang Carnival of Spring. This was her first year as a contestant for A. C. H. S. and considering that, we feel sure that in the next two years she will prove her true worth. The banner for third place in the county declamation and music con- tests was awarded to A. C. H. S. 1926 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM Selection ......... .........

We salute you, imperial audience, before we begin the display of our intellectual games, but we do not intend to die in your presence-not if we can avoid it. You will find us a very healthy set of girls and boys, and we intend to live just as long as we can. We desire to become old-that is, the boys do-the girls never intend to get any older than 20. Not that we mean to die, either. By no means. We will get to 20, and live on at that age in a state of perpetual and perennial freshness and beauty. The boys intend to get old, and each one of them will be President of the U. S., except perhaps one or two, who will be contended to become alder- men in our own or some other large city. But though we do not intend to die until our time comes, we salute you all the same, most imperial audi- ence, and solicit your favor. You will hear a good deal of speaking tonight, such as it is-very fair, I dare say. The best always comes first, and that is why I open. I should have preferred to have spoken last, because the valedictorian is supposed to be, mentally, the big bear of the circus, but instead, I am speaking first, and I doubt not, when I have finished, you will be glad I am not also speaking last. On second thought, too, I prefer to speak first, for it is very pleasant to welcome you, but rather sad to say goodabye. For many years we have looked forward to this occasion. It has been the goal toward which we have run, and if we have occasionally tripped over the hurdles and fallen, there has always been a kind teacher or parent near, to pick us up, brush us off and start us running again. So that we have finally reached our goal. You are surprised? So are we. But, as Seniors, our surprise has gradually changed to that just feel of superiority which Seniors are supposed. to wear. It has enabled us to run with chests out and heads erect, as Seniors should. We trust that the lower classmen have not misconstrued our attitude and attributed it to a feeling of undue importance. We bear our honors modestly and it is as modest hosts we greet you, and bring to you the best we have to offer. . Should you feel, during our program, that the class historian has neglected to relate some of the outstanding facts of our history, or that the class prophet has used too much baking powder in predicting our futures, please signify the same, by clapping your hands, so that the Juniors listening in, will note, and avoid making the same mistake next year. Being seniors, we may miseonstrue your clapping, but even so, it will be for all of us a very happy occasion. And once more, most imperial audi- ence, the class of '26, being about to live, salutes you and extends to you a very hearty welcome. M. E.

Mr. Kollman is our adviser, None better could be found, Never did he fail to help us And his advise proved wise and sound. Frank Watt became our President, He has led us to fameg He has helped our school athletics a lot And well he has played the game. And now I must name Geneva, A modest, timid creatureg But we expect great things of her, A nurse or a college teacher. You know our Ash twins, Ruth and Alice, Both are very handy, Farmers' wives they are sure to be, Won't that all be dandy? We know that Marjorie Crandall Can and will break hearts, She's cracked them all, yes, one by one, Except this one-Kephart. Let us not forget our William, Wee curly-headed lad, Who fought the girls off all thc time To keep from going bad. We will never forget Colene, The smartest one in our classg How she did lug those books around, For her exams to pass. Out on a farm we see Thelma, Turning a crank at the well, And how it came she got out there, Is u long, sweet story to tell. Another member of our class, To whom many have taken fancy, Is that winsomc little lass, Whom we all know as Nancy. Next on my list comes Marian Haines, The second best in our class, You'll always find her near the top, And never at the last. - Page 53 -- I926ff vvfEHHEI a41D4Id4fJT2lf-v-vH- 1926 And then there is Elsie Kindred, Jolly and lots of fun, But don't you dare make her angry, For you will have to run. Wilbur is our farmer laddie, He likes the color green, And many times in Bloomington, This laddie can be seen. Now sweet little Omah Hooten, With all her grace and charm, Would make a lovely companion For Wendell out on the farm. Then there are Bernice and Madeline Two wee girls of our class, Have labored hard to resist all The charms of the boys as they pass. We must not forget our Williams, Of them we boast of two, Their names are Ray and Dorothy, Who to our class proved true. Did you know that Marian Tuttle Can paint or draw a hat? She ought to be a whiz in life, By doing things like that. Now Donald knows not his desires, For he is quite a shiek, But he would make a fine doctor, To care for the sick and weak. Now about Alma and Annie, We might all hear by chance, That each is teaching large classes To Charleston all over France. Then there is also our Maurice, Who joined us just this year, Wherever he goes in the future, Of his success we'll hear. Harriet Irish must I mention, Chistina, too, I say, Our class would be so incomplete Without these girls today. Last, but not least, I have to say, A few words 'bout this bunk, 'Tis I who wrote this awful poem, Now don't you think it's punk? J. D.

C. H. S., namely the class of 1926. Its life continued but four short years, yet every day of those four years was crowded with events. It was on September 4, 1922, that thirty-seven merry pupils, that never before had entered high school, were found on the south side of the assem- bly room, occupying about four rows of seats. As this was our first appear- arnce on the scene, we were considered as green by the upper classmen at t at time. After awhile we held a class meeting and finally agreed upon the following officers: Harry Gipson, president, Marjorie Crandall, vice presi- dent, and Colene Hoose, secretary-treasurer. We selected Mr. Scheer to be our adviser and decided to keep our eighth grade motto, Excelsior and our colors, Azure Blue and White. The class flower was changed from the rambler rose to the pink tea rose. We had been in school but a short time when we received an invitation to our first high school party. On the fifteenth of September, we were entertained and initiated by the Sophomores. In athletics our class was always Well represented. Three letter men and one substitute of the football squad came from our class. In basket- ball we furnished a star player and four other members to the squad. As Freshmen we were represented by three members in the high school orchestra. In our Sophomore year we again numbered thirty-seven, although we had lost several members of our class and gained others. Our officers for this year were: Marian Haines, president, George Neel, vice presidentg and Eunice Leach, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Coe was our class adviser. On September 21, we gave a party for the high school and initiated our friends, the class of '27. ' During this year we were grieved by the death of one of our class mates, Dale Vernon Chrisman. His death came Oct. 12, 1923, from an attack of appendicitis. His loss was keenly felt for he was held with highest esteem by all of us. This year we increased our membership in athletics, furnishing five letter men of the football team and one substitute. In basketball we fur- nished three men, two of which received letters. As Sophomores we were represented' in the high school orchestra by a saxophone, cornet, bass horn and 'cello. During the summer months we were brought to grief again by the death of another member of our class. George Washington Neel was drowned June 15, 1924, while swimming in Kickapoo creek near Lawndale. On Sept. 2, 1924, we took our places in the assembly and enrolled as Juniors. We decided at the beginning of the year, that we had a great task before us, that of financing the Junior-Senior banquet. We selected Miss Beebe, class adviser, and elected Frank Watt, president, Marjorie Crandall, vice president, and Annie Hayter, secretary- treasurer. - Page 55 - gpg .HTALANTA g 1926 This year three regulars on the basketball team came from our class. We also furnished two substitutes. Two inter-class basketball tournaments were held while we were in high school, both of which our class won. Our class was well represented in other student activities such as Debating club, Latin club, Dramatic Art club, Chorus, Glee club, Band and Orchestra. The principal social affair of this year was the J unior-Senior banquet. We are proud of the fact that we entertained the Seniors and Faculty so well at the banquet on April 3. At last came the Senior year, with all its dignity and importance, and its great feeling of superiority over all the other classes. On Aug. 31, 1925, twenty-four members of the dignified class assembled on the north side of the assembly in old A. C. H. S. A class meeting was held early in the fall and Frank Watt was rc- elected president, Thelma Lown was selected vice president, and Donald Edmondson, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Kollman was unaminously elected class adviser. Since baseball was started last year, we furnished our regular man, Watt, to the team. Three baseball letter men came from our class last year. We, the class of '26 then decided to publish an annual. The staff and annual adviser were chosen. In order to finance this undertaking many methods for raising funds were put into use. This year we had three boys on the basketball team, all of which received letters. In November, Maurice Hadaway joined this famous class, making our total twenty-five. The class then decided to give a class play. The play A Full House was chosen and the cast was selected. The play was presented on April 16, and proved quite a success. The J unior-Senior banquet given April 9, was a complete success. The Juniors proved to us that they were exceptionally good hosts and enter- tainers, and we appreciated this very much. The preliminary declamatory contest was held on April 12, at the school house. Colene Hoose was awarded first place and she represented Atlanta in the county contest. And now dear friends, I have completed our exciting history of the passed four years. As to our future history, I cannot sayg but watch us. We are now clothed with a knowledge which will help us to carry out more fully the ideals of our mottor, Excellsior. There may be a president or a Senator of the U. S. among us, who knows? Only time with all its joys and sorrows can bring these hidden possibilities to light. D. E. W., '26. - Page 56 - 1926 A GHE .ATA LANTA 29 1926 SENIOR CHARGE Juniors: We, the class of 1926, are about to take our departure from this school. Next year, you will assume those duties and responsibilities. You will be known as the Senior Class of 1927. We wish to inform you right now that you have a strenuous task ahead of you if you expect tu measure up to the standards We have set. We pity you! You will need to spend more hours in study than heretofore if you are to obtain stand- ings as high as ours, and are to win as great honors as we have won. It will hardly be possible for you to maintain the records made by us in all of our athletic activities. Neither could you expect to produce as good dramatic stunts as we have done, nor to develop musical talent equal to the Class of 1926. Such a feat would be utterly impossible. Our class has certainly been a phenomenon! It is likely that no class will surpass or even equal it, in many long years to come. It is entirely unbelievable that two such extraordinary classes could succeed each other, much less a class with no better qualifications than you own. First, let me speak of your honorable president, Conrad Miller. Who would ever have thought that you would choose such a person as Connie for your leader? A president should share everything with his team mates, but alas, you Juniors were stupid enough to choose one' who won't even share his little jokes, but keeps them to chuckle over, all by himself. What would this class of yours do if it wasn't for your main stay Marian Hieronymus? Give her a chance and she will become your Joan of Arc, and lead you through all your battles. But Marian, I'm afraid you will have to forge ahead alone, for such a class as yours could appreciate nothing. And there is Donald Miller. Even though he is little, we Seniors have to look up to him a little bit for he used to be in our ranks. But our earnest prayer for Donald is that he will hold himself aloof from you flighty Juniors, so that he will not contract your ways and lose what dignity he gained from us. And Cora Cochran: Wee, modest tipped Ilowerf' Cora, why don't you come to school shouting on high and proclaiming your arrival to everyone ? Why your presence is hardly known in your class, because you persist in sticking to the old adage that children- should be seen and not heard. You Juniors certainly believe in having Millers in your class. This one was christened Clarence, but he couldn't possibly go by such a name, so it had to be changed to Buddy. Please throw aside your public speaking career Buddy, You ought to know that no one but a Senior could ever succeed in that profession. Dorothy Hubner, won't you ever get over the habit of studying? That is something which just simply is not done by Seniors. But of course you will learn in time, and when you get to be as old and experienced as we Seniors, you will know better. .. Page 57' - 1926 A+-rmc GHE A TALANTA 1926 As for you, Owen McBrayer, you must know by now that you will some day be a great baseball star. Women from all over the world will beset you! You must learn at once to resist their wiles by keeping a stony counte- nance for the girls who are now trying to win your affections. Muriel Reinmiller, is it because of studying that you are so thin ? Perhaps its from your long walk to school. Whatever the cause, several of the Senior girls can tell you that Domestic Science in your Senior year will aid you, providing you can eat what you cook. As for you, Dean Lower, you could easily bc the most popular and distinguished boy in town. All of the fair sex fexcept the Seniorsj look at you through lowered lids and marvel at your ability to withstand their charms. Smile, and you will win them all! Why, oh why, Marian Kaminsky, are you letting your beautiful tresses grow long? We all know that a Woman's crowning glory is her hair, but the departing Seniors like it best the other way. Won't you have it shorn again for us? Lowell Atteberry, can't you forget your playthings long enough to grow up? It isn't good for Juniors to be so infantile. Stay at home nights with papa and mama for a while, stop demonstrating Fords to your lady friends, and you will soon become a perfect specimen of manhood. We understand perfectly, Lavene Leach, that you are a sweet little thing, but Seniors can preserve their dignity without being conceited. Discard your haughty airs! Come down to earth! Who knows but that you would become the belle of the town with your newly-found ways. Much could be said concerning Merlin Ludlam and his musical ability, but from the sounds which float down from the music room to the assembly once a week, we feel that the least said the better. But Merlin, don't des- pair! Perhaps you will some day outshine Fritz Kreisler himself. We often hear your timid little laugh, Eunice Leach, but why don't you practice it more and convert it into the famous Senior giggle? Seniors never do anything half way! Either make it the giggle or kindly refrain. I next approach a members of your class who has stunted his growth ir- reparably in trying to become your basketball star. You might as well give up, Lyle Chrisman, for your efforts are unappreciated, and you must give your frail body a chance to recuperate. Darol Phillips, we hear that you can sew and cook, and do all the house- wifely duties. If so, keep it up, for some of those Junior boys do need looking after, and will for some time to come. It seems inevitable that Merle Leesman will become a farmer. Give up the idea, Merle! Your only companions would be potato bugs, chinch bugs, and more bugs. Hitch up your one hoss shay and come to town. Here your cares will be forgotten, in our hectic city life. t As for you, Annabelle Thomson, how could you ever hope to succeed without having the celebrated Sheik bob? Take a trip to the barber shop, stock up in dr,uggist's paints, and just stand back and watch yourself succeed. .wg f - Page 58 - 1926 for or r'f6 HE ATALANTA 1926 Verne Riley you must overcome your fondness for Angel Food cake with pink icing. No other class but yours would ever dream of serving such a think at a Junior-Senior banquet. It is not likely that the Junior class next year will be so partial to you, a Senior. Last, but not having the least number of faults, is Francis Trigg. Find your tongue Francis, learn to use it, forget that you are mama's angel child, and become a man of the world, as all would be Seniors should be. Now Juniors, you have heard our words of advice. I charge you, then, to heed them. Correct your faults! Follow the examples which we have set! Try to be the second best class that has ever graduated from old A. C. H. S. Make new and better standards for your successors to follow! Have a Revolution of 1926, and become the bright and shining Class of '27, Now that I have given you all the advice possible, I charge you once again, Juniors, to take heed, and may our advice blossom and bear sound fruit. I wish to bid you now a fond farewell, in behalf of the Class of '26, and may you become a class worthy of walking the paths which we have trodden. -A. F. H., '26, THE JUNIOR RESPONSE Most Honorable Seniors: It is with considerable amusement that we have listened to your kind advice. We wish to congratulate you on your marvelous achievements. Undoubtedly your portraits or your busts should be included in the Hall of Fame. Your extraordinary feats during the past year should make old Atlanta High forever famous. In reply, let us say that we also consider ourselves some pumpkins and if we cannot surpass the achievements of the Senior Class of 1926, we shall feel that we have indeed made very poor use of our talents. If the truth were told, your standing during the year previous would compare quite unfavorably with that of the present Junior Class. Let me expound a little now and go into individual cases. First, there is your class adviser, Mr. C. J. Kollman. We shall have to admit that you Seniors showed good judgment when you chose him to guide and direct you. But, Mr. Kollman, you have spent entirely too much time and energy work- ing for this unappreciative class. Already they have been bragging about the wonderful annual they have produced this year, but the rest of us know what a hopeless case it would have been had it not been for your endless patience and care. Next we shall turn our attention to your worthy president, Frank Watt. We all know of Frank's fame on the athletic field, but not everyone is informed upon what this young man desires to be when he grows up. Well, its sort of a secret, but I think if he keeps on trying he will reach the height of his ambition, for Frank wants to be a man of few words. The most active member of your class is Thelma Lown. She just walks so much that she wears off as fast as she grows. Therefore, how can you expect her to be anything but short? - Page 59 - 1926 f 1 GHE .f1TALANTArc rfI926 By far the brightest one in your class, is Colene Hoose. All year the responsibility of your annual has rested on her youthful shoulders. I ask the rest of you, how much of her work could you have done, if, besides your school work you had to stay up until 11:30 every night writing to Champaign, Illinois? Another one in your class born with a brilliant mind is Alice Ash. land its still in fine shape for she seldom uses it.J Alice, why don't you hire a detective to keep track of Bard? It would save you many anxious moments and you would always know just where to find him. Now we shall turn our attention to Annie, who has tried so diligently to give us, the Class of '27, what she considers valuable advice. Annie, why don't you give up your coquettish habits, and dancing the Charleston, long enough to gain a little much-needed flesh? Dale Frantz has many virtues and also lots of faults. We advise you, Dale, to abandon all ambitions of becoming an athlete. Concentrate your efforts in the literary field and we see you as a great editor. We Juniors have a great feeling of compassion towards Harriet Irish. We know she has striven hard but in vain to overcome her childish habits. Perhaps Frank's manly ways may help to influence her into becoming more than a mere butterfly. The only one of the eminent Seniors who ever has a serious thought is Geneva Chandler. However, Geneva, it is not well to be at all times serious so we prescribe that you read one of Donald Edmondson's jokes in the annual every day as long as they last. As for Maurice Hadaway, we Juniors are not well enough acquainted with him to know all his faults, but no doubt he has as many as any of his classmates. Just this one suggestion, Maurice, do not spend so much time on Latin. Remember that little poem about: Latin is a language as dead as it can beg It killed the Romans and now its killing me. To Omah Hooten we have little advice or criticism to offer. Her lovely smile and friendly voice are known throughout the community. And, Omah, since you have been chosen the class beauty, do not begin hating yourself as some of your conceited classmates. And you, Christina Frantz, we feel that your studious efforts have been in vain. No one, not even your classmates appreciates your tireless work, so why worry and study yourself gray-headed for so unappreciative people. The Seniors could never have had their annual published had it not been for the industry of Wilbur Phillips and Nancy Hoblit. But we fear. dear children, that the rest of your class will never appreciate your efforts. Nancy, you had better bid your classmates goodbye for you will soon leave them in your dust. As for you, Wilbur, we advise that you forget about your lost love and take up with some member of the fair sex of your class. Everyone is willing to admit that Marian Tuttle is the Wild Irish Rose of the Class of '26. We would like to give her a little advice but we know it would be useless for she has radish hair and a turnip nose. - Page 60 - 1926 WGHE ATALANTA. mga Madeline Reynolds is a modest, hesitating, bashful. little girl unlike the rest of the Seniors. Madeline, you must learn to hold your own in this hard, cruel world. We have found True Stories from Real Life entirely too often on Bernice Atchisson's desk. Bernice, did you ever see any of us Juniors reading such literature? Of course not! That's why you mustn't read it either. We hold up Elsie Kindred as an ideal for the rest of you Seniors to fol- low. Her studious nature and gentle disposition, together with her love of fun and old time dances have won for her a host of friends. Now we come to the class, orator, William Peifer. When we hear his deep voice gushing forth in eloquent words fsuch as he uses in pep meeting speechesl we are reminded of Daniel Webster. Billy, do not let this talent slip by unused. One of the most pleasant of your class is Dorothy Williams. Dorothy, your happy smile and experience of handling small children acquired at home ought to make you a very successful kindergarten teacher. So much alike and yet so different are Ruth Ash and her sister. Although they have always looked like twins it is quite apparent that Ruth is interested in the more weighty subjects, for instance, her big bass horn. During the four years of her high school career, Alma Leesman has become the object of several bashful boys, silent admiration. This may be news to some of you, but it is a fact, and there's no harm in the truth. Ray Williams' melodious voice has caused many a good Christian student, as well as teacher to have almost murderous thoughts. Ray, we beg you to refrain from your singing as much as possible, but when the desire is too strong to control, we recommend chloroform. We have come to the conclusion that among the many shortcomings of the Senior class where the faculty have had to exercise so much leniency, is the irregular attendance of Marjorie Crandall. When Marjorie's path no longer leads to old A. C. H. S. she will begin to realize that lost time is never regained. The Seniors ought to realize that they have a budding genius amidst their numbers. By Marian Haines' success as Susie in A Full House it is quite evident that her name will soon be blazoned as a rising actress and we shall see her across the footlights, C in Sioux Cityl. Last of all we approach your class flirt, Donald Edmondson, whose faults are too numerous to mention. Donald, your sense of humor is your one redeeming feature. Were it not for this, your outlook would be dark indeed. And now before departing we wish to tell you that we shall be glad to know that you will be keeping watch of our successes next year. Again we take great pleasure in thanking you for your kind advice so thought- fully given. As we bid you adieu we wish you better success in the future than you have had thus far. M. G. H., '27. - Page 61 - 1926 :Lal 6' H E A TA LA N TA TL-Tl 1926 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1926 Mr. President, Friends: Twenty-six, about to die, salutes you! Contrary to the custom in such cases, and loathe as are all the mem- bers of my conservative profession to establish precedents, only at the bequest of my noble client, Twenty-six, have I called you together to hear her will and receive her gifts. I dread to tell you, but be calm: the doctors are here ready to revive all fainting ones but they cannot attend too many. Here is my secret, keep it well! A consultation of doctors was called on Tuesday, April 20, doctors never known to fail in their prognostications. They have announced that on Tuesday, May 18, Twenty-six must die. Had I known what a commotion you would have raised and how badly you would feel, the president himself could not have dragged this secret from me. My client wishes to state that owing to a lightness of the head caused by gradual swelling during the last four years, and heaviness of the heart and other organs caused by thoughts of parting and overfeasting, re- spectively, she may have been mistaken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has she gives to you, and prays that you may not believe that it is only because she can not keep her goods that she is generous. THE WILL We, the Class of 1926, being about to leave this sphere, in full pos- session of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the fun- eral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in high school has merited. And to such estate as it pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: The Ash twins' tendency to get tickled in English IV to Marian Hieronymus. Bernice Atchisson's good behavior, especially during the five-minute periods to Cora Cochran. Geneva Chandler's quiet voice and modest ways to Annabelle Thomson. Marjorie Crandall's musical ability to Darol Phillips. Donald Edmondson's ability to forget English IV to .Lowell Atteberry. - Page 62 - 1926 . .e GHE .A TALA N TA 1926 Christina Frantz's determination to be an old maid to La Venc Leach. Dale Frantz's poetical ability to Owen McBrayer. Marian Haines' chronic state of I don't know nothing and Thelma Lown's loud voice to Muriel Reinmiller. Omah Hooten's beautiful countenance to Marian Kaminsky. Nancy Hoblit's marcel to Dorothy Hubner. Colene Hoose's ability to make an impression upon the teachers by carrying books to Donald Miller. Harriet Irish's bashfulness to Merlin Ludlam. ' Alma Leesman's graceful poise and Annie Hayter's social polish to Merle Leesman. William Peifer's curly locks and Irish wit to Conrad Miller. Wilbur Phillips' dreams in Civics to Clarence Miller. Marian Tuttle's artistic ability to Eunice Leach. Maurice Hadaway's General Knowledge and Frank Watt's athletic ability to Verne Riley. Ray Williams' good understanding to Burnell Givens. Dorothy Williams' freckles to Dean Lower. Medeline Reynolds' timidity to Lyle Chrisman. Senior dignity is always handed over to the new-made lords of high school. We are afraid that this will be a strain upon the muscles and nerves of the gay and debonair Juniors but we all hope they will rise to the oc- casion, as they sometimes do. Besides these enforced gifts we leave, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessing and pledge of friendship from henceforth. All the rest and residue of our property fafter paying our debts and funeral expensesj we give and bequeath to Mr. Scheer, for his use and bene- fit absolutely. If he see fit he may use all knowledge and startling informa- tion we have given him at whatsoever times we may have written quizzes and examinations, in the education of our younger sisters and brothers. And we do herebly constitute and appoint R. A. Scheer, C. J. Kollman, W. C. Coe, H. O. Brainard, Corinne Houston, Helen Kollman and Ruth Brackney executors of this, our last will and testament. In Witness Thereof, We the Class of Twenty-six, the testators, have to this, our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hand and seal this fourteenth day of May Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred twenty-six. fSignedJ Senior Class. E. V. K., '26. - Page 63 - 1926 GHE 7,1926 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY During the spring of last year, advertisements appeared in this city announcing a coming event, the greatest Atlanta had ever witnessed. A new invention was to be shown. By paying a certain sum of money, one could be taken up in an airplane, and by looking through a telescope would bc able to see into the future ten years. This great day arrived. I was fortunate in being able to go up in the airplane. I asked as my desire that I see my classmates of '26. The pilot told me to look through the telescope he handed me. I began to feel'as though I was in a trance. As I remembered how one of my classmates liked music so well, Ruth Ash on continuing her liking to music, established, after finishing high school, and after studing music for five years, the first and greatest women band in the United States. Next to my surprise I saw a dark haired lady in an out-of-door school. The telescope at this point was rather dim, but I could see she was teaching gymnastics to a class of girls. When walking back and forth from her country home to school, Bernice Atchisson had developed her muscles so much that she decided to follow that profession. The telescope then showed the inside of a Parisian drawing room. Geneva Chandler was seen as a private instructor, teaching the President of France to dance the Charleston. Marjorie Crandall then came into view. She had changed her religion and ,had become a famous organist for the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City. Even the movies had claimed one of our members. Donald Edmondson, our former class shiek, was the leading man of the Koonsburg Komedies. The next I recognized was Christina Frantz. However, her name wasn't Frantz. It was Fleming and she was in a fine apartment in New York. She was going to sublet the apartment, for I saw the ad in the New York Times. Dale Frantz appeared before my telescope. He had a wild glare in his eyes, upheaveled hair, and was wearing no necktie. Dale was writing poetry for the Life magazine. His contribution to this publication has caused an increase in demand for it. A hugh Tabernacle in Sioux City, Iowa, was filled to capacity. The Evaf1gelist's wife, our one time class mate, Marian Haines was singing a so o. ' Annie Hayter, our class flirt, finally found her calling which was after her heart's desire. She is an acrobat in Ringling Brothers' Circus. Suddenly I observed through my scope another plane flying close to ours. However, it was flying in a most peculiar manner. Wondering what the reason could be. I glanced at the pilot and saw it was Nancy Hoblit. In satisfying her crave for excitement and a continual novelty, Nancy had taken up aviation. She was just about to teach the birds some new tricks. Next we appeared to be going over a mountain. At the mouth of a small cave sat a bent old man. It was Maurice Hadaway. Having failed in the Greek Marathon race, the first year after leaving high school, he de- cided to spend the rest of his life in solitude. Who could the next have been? I hardly recognized her. It was Colene Hoose. She was in her fine country home, composing an opera to be given in The Chicago Theater. Colene is really a celebrity as she is a painter, authoress, and popular composer. ... Page 64 - 1926 GHE ATA LANTA 1926 The first thing I saw was a man. There was nothing strange about this except that he was our former class president. He was dressed in a long, black robe, and was seated at a high desk. It was a court room. A court controlling many nations. The man was none other than Frank Watt. Next I saw Alice Ash. She was using her domestic science knowledge she acquired in high school by running a first class boarding house in New York. Omah Hooten, our class beauty, next appeared on the beach at Atlantic City. She has just been selected for the place of Miss America in a beauty contest held there. William Peifer had been disappointed in love so often that he went to the soil for solace. He is now a prosperous farmer living near Lawndale. Next I saw Harriet Irish as sole proprietor of a home for wayward cats. Harriet having a desire to better the world in some way was spending her time and money in this method of uplifting mankind. A familar scene came before my eyes. I could not quite make out where it was. Then it came before me plainly. I could see it was an English LV class, reciting in the lazy fashion of Seniors. The teacher was Elsie indred. The pilot then informed me that we were over Hollywood, California. Looking closely in the Mack Sennett studios, I thought it surely couldn't have been, but it was, Alma Leesman. Could you imagine it? No, Alma was not a bathing beauty, but she was director of the beauties. As the plane moved downward I saw our former business manager, of the Atalanta, making a house to house canvass selling green hair tonic. It was Wilbur K. Phillips. Madeline Reynolds had become a great singer. Jenny Lind is forgotten since she began singing. Madeline after a little experience in Glee Club in high school, choose singing as her life work. She spent part of her time studying abroad. Now she is in Chicago broadcasting. My vision on the next person was a little dim, but after looking more closely I saw a small Woman with auburn hair, spending her time painting and drawing among the French and Irish. I readily decided it was Marian Tuttle. One of our members had climbed to fame. Dorothy Williams was a noted lecturer and politician. She went into politics as soon as she left high school. She is now running for governor of Illinois. I certainly wanted to see Ray Williams. His future was always in doubt. He used to try almost everything. Pretty soon I saw a sign board of a queer shape. On it was, A specialist in handling broken necks. Looking a little more closely I saw he had an undertaking establishment. We began to descend rather fast and my vision was rather vague. When we reached the ground the trance I had been in was almost ended. The pilot seemed to be interested and asked what I was doing. I told him teaching all the histories in the Atlanta Community High School. He began laughing. When he laughed I noticed who he was. No wonder he laughed at the idea of me teaching history, for it was Mr. C. J. Kollman, our former class adviser. - Page 65 - 1926 aff GH E A TA LAN TA 1926 VALEDICTORY To the friends gathered here, to the teachers who have been our guides, and to our fellow students and classmates, it is my privilege to give a last greeting. The occasion is both sad and glad, sad because we meet for the last time as a class, glad because we cannot help but see that we go to a fuller life. It is, moreover, the active life in which we must make and betake ourselves. Above all, it is the real life for which this was but a preparation. The events of this day and of past school days are to be remembered and recalled with pleasure, perhaps with pride, as the years go by. Then little incidents which seem now hardly worth the telling will possess a deeper interest, and will linger fondly in our memory. Today, with its trials and triumphs, will be regarded as an epoch in the careers of some of us, as a day worth remembering by all of us. We cannot take leave of old Atlanta High and sunder the pleasant associations which have bound us together without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe to our school and to our teachers for their fostering care. We have had too little experience in the duties and responsibilities of active life to fully appreciate the value of the moral and intellectual train- ing we have received here, but we know we are wiser and better for it. We know that without it we would achieve neither a moral nor a business success. To some of us, the education we have obtained here will be our only capital in beginning life, and whatever of wealth and honor we may here- after win in the world, we shall be largely indebted to our school for the means of success. Let us, then, ever remember our school with affection and gratitude. To the careful guardianship and untiring efforts of our teachers, and to the planning and supervision of the Board of Education, we owe all that we have attained at the end of these four years. And now, in the name of my class, whose representative I am proud to be, I bid you farewell, with the hope that your memory of us may be as pleasant as ours of you. To you, my classmates, the final words of farewell must be addrm-ssf-d. Our minds today are under the spell of two great forces: Memory and hope. Of memory, as we look back over the years now ended, of hope, as each one stands questioning his own future. 4 I can wish nothing better for us than that through our lives, in j ov and sorrow, there may remain with us the consciousness of duty well performed, of suffering nobly endured, of life faithfully lived. In the hope of such a future and with many pleasant memories of our fellowship, I bid you all good-bye. S. C.

Mr. Scheer: Did you have any help with these problems. Sid: No, sir. Mr. Scheer: Well, I advise you to get some next time. Frances Weiss: Did you ever take chloroform ? Bob McKown: No, who teaches it ? Tut Cat Glee Club practicej : Are your hose gunmetal? Churchie: No, they're silk. Miss McClure: Girls, I am dismissing you ten minutes early today. Please go out quietly so as not to Wake the other classes. On Sunday night at Shirley's. Could anyone, love, come between us ? He asked in accents tender. Well, spoke the young brother under the lounge, They would have to be mighty slender. Miss Houston: Everytime you fail to recite I put a cross after your name. Annie Hayter: Gee, my name must look like a graveyard. Mr. Coe: I'll give you just one day to hand in that notebook. Scrapy: All right. How about the 4th of July ? The one who thinks these jokes are poor, Would straightway change his views, Could he compare the jokes we print With those we do not use. Donald Miller: Well, how are you getting along in Commercial arithmetic? Edmund Cruse: Well, I done learned how to add up all the naughts, but the figgers still bother me a little. The telephone in the school building rang and the- superintendent answered it. A voice inquired, Who is this ? Mr. Scheer readily recog- nized the voice of his 9-year-old son. Although an exceedingly busy man, he was always ready for a bit of fun, so he replied, The smartest man in the world. I beg your pardon, said Edmund, I have the wrong number. Dorothy Snook: Have you ever read 'To A Field Mouse' ? Owen McBrayer: Why, nog how did you ever get them to listen ? Alice: Where's your English book, here ? Ruth: Yeh. Alice: Lemme borrow it. Ruth: Can't, I'm using it. ' Alice: You're not either, you're, sitting on it. Ruth: Well, sure I am, but Mrs. Kollman told me to spend an hour each night on my English. - Page 90 - rage ,,g1?rp,,ATALANTA 1926 A Freshman Theme Abraham Lincoln was born on a bright summer day in February, 1809. He was born in a long cabin he had helped his father to build. And what's your name ? asked the hotel clerk. My name '? said Mr. Kollman, who had just signed the hotel register. Didn't you see it on that book ? Indeed I did, returned the clerk, and that aroused my curiosity. Miss Houston tvery annoyed by talking in Domestic Art Classy. I want this stocking topped. Bob McKown, finding that he had forgotten to get his Algebra assign- ment, decided to call Mr. Scheer for the desired information. When an- swered by the telephone operator he absent-mindedly said, Reverend Scheer's residence, please. -We wonder if he asked for Frances when Mrs. Scheer answered. Joe King: I think our lips are parallel, don't you ? Edna Irish: I don't know. VVhy ? Joe: Because they never meet. Miss Brackney: What is the best solvent for gold? Mr. Coe: Matrimony. Mr. Kollman: Your answer is as clear as mud. Lowell Atteberry: That covers the ground, doesn't it? Mildred Shaw fthe first day of schoollz Does a basketball coach have wheels '? Alice Ash: Mr. Larison, I can't play in the band tonight. Papa says I must sit with him. Mr. Larison: Which papa ? Mr. Brainard: A fool can ask questions a Wise man can't answer. Dean Lower: Is that why I flunked last term ? Marjorie Crandall: I can't read this because the writing is so poor. Mr. Kollman: Nonsense Any boob could read that. Hand it to me. Our motto.after semester: The Lord of Hosts was with me not, so I forgot, so I forgot. Colene: What would you do if you could play the piano as I do ? Nancy: Oh, I should certainly take lessons. Maurice: Why do girls kiss each other and men do not ? Marian Haines: Because girls have nothing better to kiss and men have. Mrs. Williams: What were you and that boy talking about in the parlor '? i D Dorothy: We were discussing our kith and kin. Little sister: Yeth, you wath. He athked you for a kith and you thaid 'you kin'. - Page 91 -- pp g ATALANTA.. A A e 1926 Mrs. Kollman, fassigning English IV lessonJ: Take the next four hundred pages in the text, outline the first three hundred, and write a twenty-five thousand word theme to be handed in tomorrow. If you have too much spare time, read the first six volumes of the Encyclopedia. Pa says that just because fortification is a large fort is no sign rati- fication is a large rat. Mrs. Kollman: Is this absolutely original ? Dale Frantz: Well, you might find some of the words in the dictionary. Brack's girl Cin Wisteriab : I guess I'll take a banana split. Brack: Oh, take a whole one. I can pay for it. Mr. Scheer: Define ratio. Robert Reise: Ratio is proportion. Mr. Sheer: Well, what's proportion ? Robert: Proportion is ratio. Mr. Scheer: What is ratio and proportion, then ? Robert: I can only answer one question at a time. Cowslip Teacher: Take this sentence. 'Take the cow out of this lot.' What mood ? Pupil: The cow. School Inspector: Any abnormal children in your classes? Miss Houston: Yes, Two have good manners. I wonder why it is a girl can't catch a ball like a man ? Oh, a man is so much bigger and easier to catch. We Editors may go and toil Until our brains are sore, But some poor fish is sure to say I've heard that joke before. Geneva: Do you like Kipling ? Dale Frantz: Why-I don't know. How do you Kipple ? Gladys Nesbit: Do you play on the piano ? Edmund Cruse: No, I used to, but my mother made me stop. Gladys: How's that ? Edmund: She was afraid I'd fall off. C. J.: Wilbur, how many wars has the United States had ? Scrapy: Five C. J.: Enumerate them. Scrapy: One, two, three, four, five. Mr. Brainard: Why are you taking this course, Annie ? Annie Hayter: Because I am very fond of the subject. It gives me a new insight into the problems which I am called upon to meet in everyday life. It has been an inspiration to mc. . Mr. Brainard: Very good. Now, Harriet, you tell one. Prof.: This is the third time you've looked on your neighbor's paper. Student: Yes, sir. He doesn't write very plainly. - Page 92 - 1926 GHE ATALANTA 1926 Daily Grammar Lesson You see a girl walking down the street. She is, of course, feminine. If she is singular, you are nominative. You walk across the street, start being verbal, then dative. If she is not objective, you go in and sit down. Her little brother is the indefinite article. You talk of the future. She changes the subject. You kiss her and she becomes masculine. Her father becomes present. Things are tense and you become the past participle. The more than usual lack of intelligence among the students that day had gotten under the teacher's skin. Class is dismissed, he said, exasper- atedly, Please don't flap your ears as you pass out. Mrs. Kollman Cin English IVJ : This is the worst English recitation I have ever heard. I recited nine-tenths of it myself. Harold Haines Cat telephonel : Hello, who is this '? Voice at other end of wire: How do I know? I can't see you. First Freshie Cin Algebra examl : How far are you from the correct answer ?,' Second Freshie: Two seats. Mr. Coe: Why are you throwing ink in Earl Crawford's hair, Donald ? Donald Miller: 'Tm trying to put out the fire. Lives of Seniors all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And by asking silly questions, Take up recitation time. Miss Houston: I wonder what would make my bread rise '? Coach Brainard: Have you tried dynamite ? Thelma: Look at Harriet laugh. She must have heard a funny story. Tut: No, she just told one. Mrs. Kollman: Burnett, use the word 'buggy' in a sentence. Burnett Gresham: The poor little buggy lives in the ground. Editor-in-Chief Cat Staff meetingl: Now let's everybody say some- thing cute for the Atalanta tonight. Dan Cdramatically, after long pausel : Silence reigns. Put up your umbrella. To the Faculty Heres to our bachelors, so lonely and gay, It's not their fault, they were born that way. Heres to the spinsters, so lonely and good, It's not their fault, they have done what they could. Alice A.: Bard and I understand each other perfectly. He tells me all be knows and I tell him all I know, too. . Ruth: And don't you find the silence rather oppressive ? Buddy M.: How many of the five problems did you miss ? Merlin L.: I missed the first three and the last two. - Page 93 - 1926 GHE ATALANTA fake cfI926 At Orchestra Practice Mr. Larison: We'll play the waltz next. Mr. Scheer: What! I played that piece last time. Bill Peifer: Do you see that girl back there ? She smil ed at me. Connie: Huh! The first time I saw you I laughed out loud. He: Generally speaking girls are- She: Are what? He: Generally speaking. Miss Brackney: Name a liquid that won't freeze. Thelma Lown: Hot water. Scheer: How's your wife, Mr. Coe ? Her head troubles her a good deal, confessed Coe. Neuralgia ? queried Scheer. No, answered Coe sadly, she wants a new hat. Coach: Sit down. Slim: I won't. Coach: Then stand up. I refuse to bc disobeyedf' Bard: I am talking to you like a husband. Alice: You're not saying a word. Bard: Well, that's the way husbands talk. Mr. Coe: What is the Latin race ? Mack W.: A race between a 'Pony' and the teacher's Absence makes the marks grow rounder. Omah Hooten: I couldn't find that in my dictionaryf Miss McClure: I'd advise you to try Webster's. Rome was not built in a day. Cheer up: we may have a Gym. Joe King: I flunked that quiz flat. ,goat'. 7 Vaudrene Hoose: Why, Joe, didn't you know the answers ? Joe: Yes, but I had vaseline on my hair and theyslipped my mind. And now, dear friends, we hope you have Enjoyed these jokes a lot: And all the different parts, which make This Annual hit the spot. So, wishing you all things that we May wish to friends like you, Who've bought these jokes, supported us, We remain: Mr. Kollman fin Civicsj : Now, Ray, if the Presiden States should die, who would get the job ?
