6'HE A TALANTA 1926 CLASS HISTORY OF THE JUNIORS Why is Sept. 4, 1923 important? 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.
