C. H. S. Latin III. Editor-in-Chief of the Atalanta: “Say, you Junior, I have to have your class history by tomorrow evening”. Junior (overcome and in the deepest despair) : “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? How in the world do you expect me to write an epic over night ?” Senior: “I pass the buck. The printer has to have the copy.” Such are the motives and impulses which have produced the following: Once in the dear, dead days (almost) beyond recall, one of the most brilliant and intellectual classes that ever entered A. C. H. S. assembly presented themselves before the expectant Faculty. True they were what rnay l e described as diamonds in the rough but after only three years of polishing (the untiring efforts of our dear teachers) they have acquired almost as fine a finish as the Seniors. In fact, we have established an unequalled precedent. To be convinced of this, permit your attention to be turned to our basketball stars. You of the Alumni (and of A. C. H. S.) will have to admit that you owe us gratitude for doing our share toward keeping up the reputation of our dear alma mater. But is it any wonder that the boys excel when they have the Junior girls to look to for inspiration! And again—What other class could produce such an impressive Athletic Association president (now that Connie’s gone)? We inflicted Miss Houston with the honor of being our pilot through the Scylla and Charbdis of the Junior-Senior banquet. (Yes, some of us braved the waves with Aeneas and the Seniors and learned to make classical allusions.) Can you imagine “Windmills of Holland” without our three stars and the less brilliant satellites! I have only begun to tell you of this world-renowned Class of ’29 but, alas! Lack of space prevents me from recording our numerous other laurels won. Class colors: Orchid and Maize. S. A„ ’29.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY When the highly-cultured class of Freshmen came into view in 1926. it was very easy to note that it took little trouble for them to get in the right places. After a few days, when they were easily settled, the Freshmen elected Welby Frantz, president; Velma Foote, vice-president; Pearle Gipson, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Scheer as class advisor. The days rolled by with the Freshmen of 1926 coming out tine at the party given in honor of them and the successful party given by them. At the beginning of school the next September, the Sophomore Class was celebrated far and wide. They soon elected Velma Foote, president; Louise Johnson, vice-president; and Julia Irish, secretary-treasurer; with Mr. Coe as class advisor, who was highly honored to be an advisor of such an illustrious class. At the first of the year a party was held to initiate the young Freshmen, which proved more than successful. Thus passes into history a record of distinguished Sophomores. L. J., ’30.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On a bright September day, All Fresliies began to pray; Wondering what to say, When the teachers looked their way. September 7th, the Freshmen all came early to get a front scat, at least for a little while. We thought we could make a good impression on the teachers by behaving the first week. After leaving our tablets on the desks we wished to occupy, we all gathered together to ward off the uncalled-for taunts of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. All over our section you could hear: “Going to take Latin or domestic art? I’m taking Latin.” Finally, we got straightened around enough to tell which class room was which. We went to the Latin room for algebra and found the Sophomores there. They laughed at us because we did not knew where to go, but “He who laughs last laughs best”; they were in the wrong ruom. A class meeting was held, called at the first possible moment. Carrel Miller was elected president; Cleo Sullivan, vice-president; Alta Parsons, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Scheer, class advisor. Our colors, green and white; our flower, the white rose; and our tree, the white birch; were retained from our eighth grade choosing. The Sophomores gave an initiation party at the fair grounds. There was a baseball game between the Sophomores and Freshmen. The Freshmen won the game. The girls played baseball with an indoor baseball. Everyone was enjoying himself immensely, when it started to rain. The Sophomores brought us to the school house where some were initiated. The Juniors had informed us that it was time for the Freshman party. We had known this; but as they were so anxious, we let them puzzle aw'hile. Finally, we gave the party, which wras a great success. D. C., ’31.

The organizations were able at the first part of the year to undertake four-part music and have made steady progress. The two organizations joined to form the Chorus, and on December 9th and 10th they gave the operetta, “The Windmills of Holland’’. A great deal of time and work was given by the members and their director, Miss McClure. There were beautiful costumes, elaborate scenery, and careful rendition of parts. The cast was as follows: Mynheer Hertogenbosch Vrouw Hertogenbosch.... Wilhelmina............ Hilda ................ Chorus: Bob Yankee......... Hans .............. Franz ............. Katrina ........... ....Harold Haines ....Evelyn Troxel Florence Church ....Mary Miller ..Howard Dazley Clarence Luther ........Joe King ...Mildred Kurth The choruses included groups of Dutch girls, Dutch boys, poppies, spiders and Hies. The Chorus furnished the music for the Christmas party given by the High School Faculty. The Chorus sang at a political rally at Murphy’s Hall, and at Teachers’ Institute at Lincoln they sang some interesting numbers. They gave a very interesting concert in the spring, and closed the year with their annual picnic at Miller Park. P. W., ’28.

This year’s Glee Club shows a marked contrast to the one organized in ’25 and is a great success, as the music taught in the grades has prepared them for the four-part music. Their first public appearance was made in the operetta, “The Windmills of Holland”. The accompanist for the Boys’ Glee Club is Louise Johnson.

Why, what is it all about? Why, don’t you know? This is the dav for the Sophomores to have their fun and the rest of the assembly to stand back and look on. All except the poor, little, green Freshies. It is the great day of the Freshman initiation. At 4 o’clock the assembly, chaperoned bv the Faculty, hikes to the fair grounds to have a few hours of real fun. After arriving, we play baseball, and nearly all the girls and boys play. We have placed at least an hour when—what is that? Why, it is a raindrop! In a few minutes it is raining quite steadily. We then load into cars and come to the school house to continue. Each Freshman is entitled to a thorough initiation. Even the new teachers are not to be deprived of this introduction into A. C. H. S. After a long siege of this, they are ready to eat. To them we serve wiener sandwiches, which are devoured quite rapidly. At 8 o’clock we all depart, giving our best wishes to the class, which is to take the place we have occupied for a year. A Gay Sophomore, Vei.ma Foote. VALENTINE TEA The Senior girls and Mrs. Applegate were entertained on Thursday. February 22, at a high tea by the domestic science class. Tea was served bv Beatrice Fulk. Dainty sandwiches and cakes were served. The room was prettily decorated in red and white. D. M. S., ’28. THE FRESHMAN PARTY The annual Freshman party was held Wednesday. February 15, 1928. After much consideration, the Freshies decided to rent the Little Theatre, and give the High School an original thrill. The picture selected was “The College Hero”. The attendance was excellent. Just before the lights were turned out, the Fresh ies passed red, green and yellow suckers to amuse the Sophomores and Seniors. We were awfully afraid the Juniors would eat the sticks, but just at the fatal moment, Alta kindly played “Among My Souvenirs” and then they decided to put them in their memory books. About the middle of the picture, the lights flashed on and Carrel Miller, our president, expressed his appreciation of such a large attendance. After the party, the Freshies once more breathed freely, and enjoyed a huge success. F. E., ’31. Page forty-six 19 ATA L A N TA 28 THE CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 21, 1927, the annual Christmas party was held in the music room. On entering the room the first thing to meet one’s eyes was a beautiful Christmas tree covered and surrounded with gifts, large, small and otherwise. With fever at a high pitch, ever the anticipation of what we were to receive and who the donor was, we listened to Christmas carols bv the G’ee Clubs and Chorus, under the direction of Miss McClure. A very catchy, original song, featuring each teacher, was the hit of the day. Following the program, Santa put in his appearance and. in his usual jolly manner, pulled off some clever jokes on the members of the Faculty. At last, though anxiously, the awaited time for the distribution of the gifts came and Santa, with the assistance of Messrs. Scheer. Coe and Prince, quickly satisfied our longings, but not always our curiosity, as utterances of “Who in the world gave me this chewing gum, or ukele, or teddy bear” were heard on every side. After the hullabaloo had somewhat subsided, Mr. Scheer invited us to board his train for a free ride to the station, E. A. T., where delicious refreshments of ice cream and wafers were served by the Faculty. It was time now for everybody to go home and the Christmas party of 1927 remains a delightful memory. V. H„ ’29. HOME ECHO CLUB The first meeting of the economics girls was held the third Monday evening in December. The following officers presided: President, Mary Miller; vice-president, Wilma Neel; and secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Snook. Miss Houston was named our advisor. The programs for our monthly meetings had been planned. Each girl was assigned to committees for program and refreshments once during the year. Studies and reports were made on etiquette, pictures, household hints and home nursing and first aid. Time was also spent in mak:ng party, decorations and favors. An April Fool party and a Mothers’ Luncheon afforded the truly social events of our calendar. A school luncheon and supper served as the money-making activities of the club, enabling us to leave an addition to the equipment of the home economics department. M. M„ ’28. Page forty-seven 19-------- ATALANTA---- ----28 HOMECOMING The seventh annual Homecoming of Atlanta High School was held at Murphy Hall, November 11, 1927. Homecoming was a little unusual this year because heretofore the dress parade had been made from the school house up to the library lawn, but this year, on account of the weather, the revue was held in Murphy Hall. A large crowd was present and a great many of them were Alumni, who had come back to see how old A. C. H. S. had progiessed since their last visit. Many unusual and colorful costumes were seen on the reviewing stand and the revue was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The prizes were again given by the business men of Atlanta and each student knew that he was dressing for something worth while. The following prizes were awarded to: First Grade.....................Doris Murphy, Dale Murphy Second Grade......................Doris Sullivan, Carl Watt Third Grade....................Juanita Taylor, Gerald Colaw Fourth Grade.................Margaret Scheer, Jessie Parsons Fifth Grade.................Emily Jean Crihfie'd, Tom Tuttle Sixth Grade........................Sarah Watt, Delbert Fulk Seventh Grade..............Lucille Horrom, Russell Parsons Eighth Grade...................Edna Ludlam, Merlin Warrick Freshman Class......................................Saraetta Hadaway Sophomore Class...............Helen Beverly, Eldon Pittinger Junior Cass...........................................Sarah Applegate Senior Class...................Bertha Becker, Harold Haines Grand prizes..........Juanita Taylor (3), Jessie Parsons (4) After the judging was completed and the prizes awarded, the crowd then started towards the Christian Church, where supper was served by the P. T. A. When the supper was over, there was still another treat in store: A basketball game! Our first game of the season, and we played Emden. Of course, we were victorious (who wouldn’t be, after such a day!), and the score was 23 to 18. We then turned our steps homeward and each declared a very successful Homecoming was again over. M. K., ’28. THE CARNIVAL I he annual P. 1. A. Carnival was held at the school house on March 16. All who attended agreed it should be given semi-annually instead of annually. Hie subterranean plaza (why so called no one knows) led to the dining room. This was a cafeteria supper, and that table—oh, boy! It was loaded down with delicious things to eat. (Oh, dear, I used some slang and didn’t mean to, at all). The tables were decorated with green shamrocks and green candles. After everyone had dined to their hearts’ content, they were directed upstairs. In the asseml ly the high school classes put on their stunts. I he Seniors was entitled “A Raggy Wedding”. One fair member of their Page forty-eight 19 - °4 ’-ATALANTA 28 class was a charming, blushing bride, while another member succeeded equally well in being a very nervous bridegroom. There was a jester who appeared just in time to relieve a critical situation. The Juniors, who are a very conscientious group of students, gave a one-act play, which contained a most interesting moral. This play was called “Sauce for the Goslings”. Some members of this class should be careful or they will find themselves in stardom. The Sophomores gave the farce, “Pyramus and Thisbe”. It was received with much laughter, A short dialogue, “Safety First”, followed. The Freshmen produced the “Family Album”. Some very comical scenes were portrayed. Following this, a cakewalk was held in the hall. Many lucky people walked away with the most enticing of culinary dainties. The next show was given in the music room by the grades. A bov from the first grade sang “Sweeping the Cobwebs from the Moon” and “My Blue Heaven”. Then he scampered away like a frightened bunny'. The second grade dramatized that delightful, old fairy tale. “The Sleeping Princess”. For a moment, those in the audience drifted back to the time when they believed in fairies. The appearance of the old witch brought a burst of applause. “A Modern Variety of Cats” was an enjoyable musical number given by the third grade. The fourth and fifth grades presented a lively musical interpretation of “Hansel and Gretel”. A girl soloist and a clarinet trio, all of whom were dressed in novel costumes, represented the sixth grade. They rendered “Among My Souvenirs” in a very' attractive manner. A colored girls’ quartet from the seventh grade sang “Everybody Pick on Me” and “Hallelujah!” The eighth grade gave the “Tin Pan Alley”. If those who attended keep diaries they must have written something like this: “Attended the school Carnival and it was a grand success”. The gross receipts were $194. This Carnival was given under the auspices of the P. T. A. It has not been decided what will be done with the money. M. M.,’31. Page forty-nine 19---- ----ATALANTA---- ----28 JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET On March 19 the Juniors and their advisor came together in solemn conclave to decide when the Juniors should extend to the Seniors the traditional honor of the Junior-Senior banquet. The date was set for March 29 and the plans were soon well under way. My! how busy the Juniors were! (Miss Peck even gave us Twelfth Night so we would not have to study so hard, but Mr. Scheer would not excuse us—except for marcels.) The various committees had a beaten path worn between assembly, domestic art room and the Methodist Church, and the assembly teachers almost had writer’s cramp from all of the permit blanks that they were asked to make out. After ten most hectic days (yes, considerable midnight oil was burned, also), the Juniors were at last all prepared to meet and try to entertain their honorable superiors and (for the time, at least) friends, the Seniors, and the Faculty, their wives and husbands. Three nervous and very much-excited officers greeted the guests in the recep tion room which was attractive1}’ decorated with many colored crepe paper streamers and Japanese lanterns. Floor lamps, tables, easy chairs, and a couch lent a cozy atmosphere to the room. Sonny Haines to Eddie Parsons (at exactly 6:31) : “Where are the eats? You’re a minute late already!” This might have been expected of a Junior who did not know any better—but, a Senior! Terrible! Everyone formed into line for the grand march and proceeded to the dining room to the music of Miss Crandall’s eight-piece orchestra. Twelve small tables and a speaker’s table were placed about in a beautiful Japanese garden where cherry trees bloomed and where Japanese lanterns swung gently to and fro. The garden was enclosed by trellises, over which climbed a profusion of wisteria, and you will know how much love’s labor was lost when I tell you how Edward spent three weeks last summer capturing the butterflies which were to be seen Hitting about. Needless to say, no one spent any more time than was absolutely necessary to find his place, which was designated by a place card in the shape of a Japanese lantern and which contained both the menu and the program. Each table was lighted by a long, French, blue taper, on which was tied a large bow of tulle of one of the pastel shades. Dainty, little nut cups of many colors were in keeping with the general color scheme. On the tables were found the fruit baskets, to the handles of which were fastened a sweet pea and a piece of fern. With Miss Houston acting as our toastmistress, the banquet really began. After the welcome by the Junior Class president, Edward Parsons, and the response by the Senior president, Bertha Becker, the following four-course dinner was served by six Sophomore girls. The girls, Julia Irish, Alma Griffin, Helen Beverly, Christine Billiter, Louise Johnson, and Ruth Riley, were dressed in yellow and black Japanese kimonos and wore yellow pom-poms in their hair. Page fifty 19-- O'----ATALANTA----O'---28 The menu was as follows: Spring Baskets Rissoles of Chicken New Potatoes Buttered String Beans Spiced Beets Olives Apricot Marmalade Clover-leaf Rolls Butter Japanese Salad Junior Trifle Orange Pekoe Ice Cream Angel Cake Coffee Candies After the banquet was served, the remainder of the program was enjoyed. The numbers were arranged as follows: Music ..................................Orchestra Junior Welcome...................Edward Parsons Senior Response............................Bertha Becker “Looking Ahead”...............................Mr. Scheer Vocal Solo...........................Marian Watt “Our Seniors”......................Mrs. Applegate Vocal Solo.......................Florence Church The guests then reluctantly returned to the reception room and arranged themselves in groups and couples. Each was handed a slip of paper, upon which was written the name of someone in the room, not a classmate, and was asked to write either advice or a toast to the person. A prize was to be given to the person who wrote the best one. They were given ten minutes in which to compose their replies to this request. The slips were then collected, shuffled, and passed out again and each, in turn, read the writing on his slip. Some very valuable advice was given which might have proved useful had it been taken to heart. In fact, all were so very good that it was decided to give each one a prize in the form of a pink carnation, the Senior flower. With the giving of these favors, the party came to an end and another Junior-Senior banquet place card was taken home for an already-overflowing memory book. S. A., ’29.

Through the trials and temptations of our childhood, in the hopes and despairs of our high school career, you who are assembled here tonight have guided us to this momentary goal. I say momentary, for who of us has not already fixed as his aim, a place of greater achievement. We may not achieve world renown as others have done, yet each one of our class is filled with that enthusiasm which creates plans for the future. Once those plans are fully developed, our enthusiasm will enable us to launch out with undaunted courage. So, it is with eager anticipation that we look forward to a happy and useful career. “But the best is the clasped hands of classmates When nightfall is near; The best is the rest and the true friendship, the calm of the soul; When the stars are in heaven and the runner lies down at the goal.” Again, in behalf of the Senior Class of 1928. I extend to you who have helped us to attain this position, a hearty welcome and our heartfelt gratitude for vour assistance in our school career. F. E. H., ’28. Page fifty-four 19------- ATA L A N TA —••Sf '— 28 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY History is a narrative of past events. As long as the ages have passed history has been recorded in various ways, by tombs, picture-writing, tablets of clay, and scrolls written by monks; but we, the Class of ’28, think it should be recorded in a book, and we give it the title, “History of the Class of 1928”. Dedicated to: Faculty, Board of Education and Friends Chapter I THE SEED On September 1, 1924, was planted the seed of the Class of 1928. Gathering the scattered but brilliant remains of the Junior High School along with invaluable additions in form of country newcomers, we totalled twenty-four Freshmen. After recovering from the reaction caused by our new environment, we chose the following officers: Miss Rrackney, class advisor; Joseph King, president; Delmar Houghton, vice-president; Raymond Begolka, secretary; and Mildred Foote, treasurer. As our class has unusual ability, we had a large number in many outside activities, such as the Chorus, Latin Club, Band, Debating and Declamation. On .September 17. 1924, we attended a wiener roast given by the Sophomores. On the following January 29, 1925, we gave the annual Freshman party, which was a great success. Chapter II THE PLANT Little by little, through the untiring efforts of the Faculty, the sunshine, and by proper cultivation and studying, the seed grew to a plant. In the fall of 1925. twenty-one sedate pupils entered the Sophomore year. We had lost five of our old classmates and had two new pupils enter our class. We again met and organized our class and elected these officers: Mildred Foote, president; Delmar Houghton, vice-president; Bertha Becker, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Brackney again as our advisor. In athletics we had four on the baseball team. Three were letter men. We had two men on the basketball squad. Joseph King was a contestant in the county contest in piano. In the preliminary for vocal contest, Evelyn Troxel was first. In addition to past activities we now added a few more: Boys’ Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club and Orchestra members. On September 18, 1925, we gave a wiener roast at Medberry’s pasture near Armington. We attended the Freshman party November 13, 1925. At the end of the year we enjoyed a picnic at Funk’s Grove. Page fifty-five 19 -°o- ATA L A N TA 28 Chapter III THE BUD In the fall of ’26 there appeared on the plant, which had grown to a large foliage, a bud. In our Junior year there was a great fluctuation of students. There were twenty-two students enrolled. Four of these were new pupils and during the year we lost four. Marv Miller and June Crandall both entered our class. At the end of this year we lost Earl Kindred. We elected for the coming year: Miss Houston, class advisor; Mahel Kurth, president; Howard Dagley, vice-president; and Harold Haines, secretary-treasurer. In activities, a number were in Sci-Ec Club. We had a member in the class to win at horseshoes. We were again honored by winning first in vocal and first in oration in the preliminaries. During the year we attended the Sophomore wiener roast, September 28, 1926, and the Freshman party, February 11, 1927. As Juniors, we sponsored three big events which brought our class closer together and bound it as a unit. They were: Serving the Eastern Star banquet; the penny luncheon; and the pancake supper. On the evening of April 15, 1927, the Juniors gave the annual Junior-Senior banquet, carrying out the scheme of a beautiful flower garden. Chapter IV THE FLOWER Behold, in the fall of ’27, the bud had opened into a beautiful flower, the remarkable Class of 1928. With the return of Dorothy Snook to our class, we totalled the number of seventeen on the class roll. Early in the year we held a class meeting and elected Bertha Becker, president; Mabel Kurth, vice-president; Mary Miller, secretary-treasurer; and Burton Watt, class advisor. We decided on French blue and white as our class color,s and the pink carnation as class flower. The annual staff, selected by the Faculty and by the voting of the class, immediately began work on the year book which would be one of the best in compact form. We were invited to the annual Sophomore wiener roast and Freshman party. We attended these events with great pleasure and enjoyed them very much. After Thanksgiving, the class was saddened by the resignation of Mr. Watt. We were fortunate in having Mrs. Applegate, who kindly assisted us with the annual. We attended the Junior-Senior banquet, which was given in splendid form, and we enjoyed it much; let us say thank you. This year we add to our list in activities three letter men on the basketball squad and ten in baseball. A large number belong to the Echo Club. We also wish to say that our class has an unusual record in attendance, having a member attend eleven years and four months without being absent or tardy. Page fifty-six 19 4 ATA LANTA 28 At the end of the first semester we lost Evelyn Troxel, a long-time classmate, who deserted us for matrimony. Now, this blossom stands, giving off its fragrant perfume. Will it he plucked by society or be trampled over by the mobs, unnoticed ? As for the class, we are, as our motto prognosticates, “Looking Ahead”. (The End) C. E. J., ’28. SENIOR CHARGE Members of the Junior Class: In behalf of the Seniors who are soon to pass to the ranks of the Alumni, I offer you both congratulations and condolences. We congratulate you on being promoted to a station toward which you have long cast eager and envious eyes— that of the Senior Class. This is an honor you may well esteem, and one whose responsibilities should be accepted with solicitous apprehension. We know you will realize how impossible it will be for you to fill our place as we have filled it. but we feel that you are so courageous and persevering you will make a noble attempt to do your best. The retiring Seniors beg you to accept our sympathetic condolence for the irreparable loss you sustain in the departure of the Class of 1928, and for the well-nigh overpowering waves of sorrow that surge unconquerably through your heavy hearts as you realize that our merry laughter and bright faces, to say nothing of our bright minds, shall no longer illuminate your halls of learning. Yet, be comforted with the thought that you still have with you the memory of our lofty endeavors and phenomenal accomplishments. There is an affliction—-not painful to those who have it, but to others with whom they come in contact—that we have been sad to see taking an insidious hold upon the Junior Class. We, as Seniors, have been so free from this disease that we exhort you, as you take our places, to eradicate it. We might mention this affliction by its therapeutical cognomen, but lest you might not recognize it, we may merely say we refer to “swelled head”. Do, we advise you, check its hold upon you. You may not mind it, but it gets on the nerves of the other classes. Junior Class: Why, oh, why, did you choose such a one as Edward Parsons for president? We admit Edward has high ambitions. But, Edward, don’t you think it would be better to learn to stay on your hobby horse before you assay to ride the “Winged Steed of Pegasus”? Now, Marjorie, if you find that you cannot get along without your inspiration Page fifty-seven 19 - ATA L A N TA 28 next year, you might adopt the plan of one of our class geniuses and have him come back and take a post-graduate course. There is Merlin Rogers, the Junior Class actor-hero. Now, Merlin, why do you not show your preference instead of keeping all the girls in suspense? They are not really so terrible and you might actually get to enjoy their presence. Clarence Luther, we understand that you have ambitions to be a great athlete. But, Clarence, these ambitions are doomed if you do not quit spending so many long hours in the bakery, as too much association with pastry inclines one toward avoirdupois. Dorothy Kurtz, we have noticed lately that you have a big interest in the Sophomore Class. We wish to advise you to stick to drawing as an occupation and not waste your talents on such unappreciative material. We would also like to give your sister Eveyln some advice. Evelyn, why don’t you give up your quiet, bashful ways? Do as the other girls do who want good grades and attract the attention of the teachers by many “quiet” whisperings, et cetera. Eldon Houghton is better off than most of the Juniors, for he has his brother Del mars’ high standards as a goal to try to attain and will not have to grope around in the fog of uncertainty. There are two of your class, Juniors, Margaret Atchison and Earl Kindred, our former classmates, whose actions are far superior to any others of your class. If you will only copy from them, maybe you can learn a little of how .Seniors should act. Mildred Kurth, you will do well to follow in the footsteps of your sister, though you cannot possibly attain her high standard. You have made only one indiscretion so far and that was in choosing a boy from your own class instead of choosing one from the preceding Senior Class, as your sister did, to bestow your affections upon. We know that Sidney Reinmiller has made a big improvement in basketball, but there is still room for more. But, one word, Sidney—if you wish to keep on, be sure and spend most of the time on your own side of the alley. Edna, we know you are cute but please quit juggling so many boys’ hearts. They are breakable. Esther, don’t be like your sister and waste all your good looks. There are many boys just waiting for a chance. Vaudrene, we notice many of the t oys admire you from afar. W’hat is it that keeps them at a distance? Is it your “sax-a-peal”? Next we come to a member of your class whose faults are too numerous to mention. So, I will merely say, Marian, please do not bring the average age of your class down too far. Page fifty-eight 19 ATA LANTA 28 We have heard many people say that Sarah Applegate made a fine grandmother in “Sauce for the Goslings”. Long hair certainly adds dignity to one, which should help you much next year. Wilma Neel, there is still hope for you if you continue your association with Marjorie, who has already been instructed in the proper conduct of a Senior. What shall we say of Florence Church? She seems to have added a new dignity since she has started gazing at a Senior star. ’Nuff said. Norman Gordon, we admit some of your experiments and methods of flirtation seemed original until we reviewed our ancient history, hut don’t give up hope. Some of the Senior boys have developed a wonderful technique and, by studying them and some men like Edison, you might he able next year to show some Senior originality. Let me give your newest member a little advice. Leslie Houchin, the role of general nuisance and teachers’ annoyance is just suitable for a Junior, but don’t you think it a little out of place in a Senior? If Mildred Shaw would quit talking so fast, Lila Kindred go to Earl for advice, and Beatrice Fulk continue in her studious ways, they should make very proper Seniors. In closing, let us admonish you to uphold the lofty ideals and ideas of those whose place you are to fill. Profit by our example and precept, and should you in some miraculous way excel us as Seniors, we will forgive you for the sake of dear, old A. C. H. S.. who is worthy of the best achievements of her graduates. H. H„ ’28. JUNIOR RESPONSE Retiring Seniors: In behalf of the Junior Class, I would thank you for your kind words of admonition. We beg to assure you that if, as a class, we look noticeably melancholy, it is not so much from sorrow at losing you, as from chagrin at not having discerned, until your lengthy representative just mentioned it, that you are so unusually precocious. We have looked forward with satisfaction to the time when we might show our school what a real, live, up-and-coming Senior Class should be and, even after vour careful diagnosis of our case, we still feel that the accumulated honors of the years will rest with ease upon the worthy shoulders of the Class of ’29. And as,we stand with right foot forward, ready to step into your shoes, our only worry is that they may be so small that we will have to stand upon, instead of in, them. In order that you may grasp our viewpoint we will consider the qualifications of your class: Now, there is Bertha Becker. I’m sorry to tell her that it is a shame that she had to be responsible for such a class which graduates tonight. Bertha, don t Page fifty-nine 19-------- ATA L A N TA 28 -O' waste any more time thus, but be president of something high, as for instnace, the United States. Joe King has qualifications that are above par. Don’t you know that gentlemen prefer blondes—and not only this, but this worthy gentleman took notice of the fact that the said blonde was a Junior? There is a slight tendency towrard this quality in several of the Seniors. There is no reason for Bernice Lown and Dorothy Snook to be the “Damon and Pythias” of your class. Where do they get that “we” stuff? Can’t thev ever associate with a real, live class like the Juniors? If not, then at least associate with the Class of ’28 as next best. Catharine Johnson says that she is going to Chi to be a nurse. Now, Catharine, can’t you see the utter improbability of such a profession in Chicago? In that city nursing is obsolete. The new profession in Chi is undertaking. The characteristics of Harold Haines denote a long business career. I would suggest that he organize a “Sleepy Mattress Co.” I’ve often wondered why he never grew one of those professional mustaches; but I suppose that with his broad grin a mustache on his lip would tickle him to death, notwithstanding anyone who should happen to look at him. Paul Wheeler will never advance far, because he’ll be carried away by some young lady before he’s a year older. Even now, there is a cute little Freshman who is in tears because Paul is leaving A. H. S. But, fight hard, Paul, and wait for a wealthy young miss who will deserve your charms. There’s only one drawback in Howard Dagley’s wonderful power of speech and oration. Howard, you’ll have to watch yourself closely or some day, in the near future, some designing young woman will find Howard on his knees before her, speaking such words as, “Marry me and the world is mine”, etc. Yea, verily, I say, even the best of men make mistakes. My advice to Ruth Peifer is to go to Lincoln College to study commercial law and with her wonderful possibilities she could find a teaching position at “Princetown”, Illinois. For Mildred Foote, I might repeat the warning given her at the Tunior-Senior banquet: “Beware of strange men disguised as coal dealers”; but don’t take that warning to heart. In my estimation, he is A-1. Delmar Houghton, coming from a race of athletes, is an all-around sheik, athlete, and student. He has a particular affinity for chemistry instructors and a certain member of the family and I don’t mean Robert Applegate. Pardon me, while I laugh. Mary Miller is sure a funny creature. Now, Mary, I’m not laughing at you, but at your jokes in the annual of ’28. You should be the editor of a joke book. Mary says that Harold Chrisman thinks marshmallows grow in the swamp, whereupon Harold tells a dumb one on Mary. She J Page sixty 19 ATA L A N TA —a - 28 always lias a terrible fright about Christmas time for fear someone will send her some Christmas seals and she says she has no water tank to put them in, nor any thing to feed them. June Crandall has missed a lot by not waiting for the Class of ’29. The Juniors feel rather hurt because June chose to complete his high school course in three years. Some day he will be sorry when he sees and hears of the wonderful Class of ’29. We had him picked out to put the June in Juniors but we see now he is too modest to claim such high honors. The only thing we can say about Mabel Kurth is her slenderness. We give her due credit in liking her “Slim”-ness with emphasis on the “Slim”. At one time in 1928 she was slightly attracted by a princely-looking young man—but, well, what’s the use? Last, but not least of the Seniors, there is that nice, little co-ed of A. C. H. S. I predict a brilliant stage career for Frances Hoerr and, adding a little personal touch to this last Senior, I wonder if she will forget that Junior from whom she was always borrowing pencils in Vergil class. As for the advisor of the Class of ’28, Mrs. Applegate, the most good that can be said of her is too little. If she could have control of the Seniors in after years they probably wtiuld amount to something. After all has I een said, we hope the Seniors do not take this too seriously, because 1 still haven’t said the thing that the Juniors really mean, so, in behalf of the Junior Class, I offer you our best wishes for future success: “May rosy dreams illumine The horizon of your view— And may you have the power To make your dreams come true.” E. P., ’29. SENIOR CLASS POEM Here’s to Mrs. Applegate, Who helped us to do right; And when our days were gloomy, She filled our paths with light. Bertha holds high honor; Our president, don’t you know. A smart little lass is she, As all her grades will show. Paul and Joe, with their sleek, black hair, Cause heart palpitations in maidens fair; While Crandall and Haines, though resisting all bonds, Boldly assert that ladies prefer blondes. Page sixty-one 19 ATA L A N TA 28 Do you long to hear a carefree laugh, When you feel downhearted and blue? Mary Miller, so sweet and shy, Makes the sunlight shine anew. Our Catharine will become a nurse, So she will have a nice, fat purse; For she works hard at every' task, And in her patients’ smiles will bask. A better lad you never knew’, A friend ever faithful, ever true; A very good student, if any ask, Is Harold Chrisman, of our class. The beauty of our class so rare, We find, shines forth in Frances Hoerr; A student, too, of great renown; She seldom ever wears a frown. Bernice and Dorothy, two little lasses, Always true to all their classes; No one ever sees them blue, And to A. C. H. S. they’ll e’er be true. Howard, next, I wish to mention; And I’m sure that all will rave, When, now, we call attention To his wonderful permanent w'ave. Another member of our class Is an extremely quiet lass; Rumor say's she soon will wed; Of course, you know she’s our Mildred. Quiet, industrious, and demure, Is not all that’s to be said of her; Ruth always has her lessons well, And what she will be, time will tell. Paye sixty two 19----O----ATALANTA---------28 She loves to be with him. Does our fair Mabel Kurth; Who can it be but Slim?, Who’s always full of mirth. Next come I, the writer; I hope you won’t regret The things I’ve said about our class, Whom none shall e’er forget. D. D. H„ ’28. CLASS PROPHECY At last, the greatest wish of my life was coming true. I was going to have my fortune told by a great man from India, known all over the world for his keen insight into the future and for his unusually accurate prophecies. The room into which I was conducted was of massive proportions and marvelously adorned with heavy velvet draperies and lavishly rich furniture. The Hindu was very wealthy, for many people from distant countries came to have their fates told them. As I had to wait for some time, I decided to entertain myself by exploring this vast, mysterious room. First to attract my attention was the large number of rare and beautiful vases which he had collected. From one large, unusual vase, placed near my chair, curling threads of smoke were issuing. Cautiously, I peered into it and soon large volumes of smoke with a faint, sweetish odor ascended. What was the meaning of this? Was I to be afflicted with some strange curse because of my attempt to look into the future—more than is permitted mortals ? The smoke vanished and in its place I saw a picture of a very charming woman sitting at a piano. I did not know who she was at first but, upon observing more closely, I saw that she was one of my former classmates, Frances Hoerr. From what I perceived, she was appearing in piano concert before a large, enthusiastic audience. Presently, a man stepped out on the stage and announced that “Mademoiselle Hoerr” would be at the concert hall eight more weeks. The man looked familiar and I studied him closely. Oh, it was Harold Chrisman, her manager! The picture began to fade and I was filled with a desire to see others of my classmates and to learn what they were doing. Soon the smoke began again to issue from the vase and when it had cleared, I saw a large farm house on a beautiful hill and several children playing in the yard. Soon a stately-looking woman came to call them to dinner. It was none Page sixty-three 19 ATA L A N TA 28 other than Catharine Johnson, who was now successfully managing a farm, three children and a husband. The picture disappeared as the one before had done and I beheld a man standing before a large assembly of important-looking men, giving an oration, entitled “The Dire Need of More Cops for Heavy Aeroplane Traffic”. He was such a fine, polished gentleman that 1 could not help but gaze at him. Suddenly I remembered who he was—Howard Dagley, now a member of Congress, representing Illinois. Picture after picture came before my eyes, some of which were very dim, but, finally, the smoke cleared so I was able to see a man dressed in football garb. It was Harold Haines, surrounded by a bevy of girls. So he had become a hero and the sheik of the university. A second Red Grange! As the next image appeared it was one of grief and misfortune. Poor Mildred Foote was married soon after graduation but her husband failed to appreciate her kind, loving ways and deserted her. Such is life for some of us. How I pitied her when I saw her standing there weeping, but as the picture faded another man came to claim Mildred’s smiles and charms. Scarcely had the preceding picture vanished from sight when another took its place. This scene was of a cpiiet room and someone lying in a bed. The surroundings seemed to he those of a hospital. Soon a woman entered and I wondered where I had seen her before. This person was Ruth Peifer, just as quiet and kind as ever, and a hospital was certainly a suitable place for a girl with her unobtrusive thoughtfulness toward others. Again the smoke cleared and there appeared a scene in the theatre, where two beautiful women, one rather stout and the other quite slender, occupied the stage. They were gorgeously costumed and going through the steps of an intricate dance. I could detect nothing familiar about them so I glanced at the placard at the side of the stage to see who these graceful girls might be. How great was mv astonishment to see painted there in large letters, this legend, “Down and Snook. Interpretative Dancing”. Bernice Lown and Dorothy Snook, having such a liking for each other during their high school days, decided to use their hidden talents and go on the stage. The next picture was very different from any of the preceding ones. What it was and what its import might be I could not at first determine. After much thought I decided it was a studio. hv, surely! A sign reads, “Paramount Studio”. They were filming a scene and who should be the leading man but June Crandall, playing opposite Clara Row. June has far surpassed Ramon Navarro and John Gilbert in his acting, especially those scenes which deal with love. In the following picture was a massive building. What could it be? When the picture cleared I saw plainly it was the White House at Washington. The building faded slowly and a room within took its place. A woman was sitting at Page sixty-four 19 - ATA L A N TA 28 a desk working strenuously. Several men were grouped near and soon one of them addressed the woman as President Recker. Bertha Becker, President of the United States? After showing her splendid executive ability in high school, I might have known she would become famous. The picture faded and several moments elapsed before the smoke rose again. This time I saw a man playing in a reception room before a group of noted musicians. He had the appearance of a professional and, upon close observation, I saw that it was Paul Wheeler, a famous violinist in New York. The next was a beautiful garden in a far-ofif tropical country. Underneath one of the palm trees was seated a short, plump girl whom I recognized as Mary Miller. She was surrounded by a group of children to whom she was reading from a book of poems written by the Class of ’28. Mary was a missionary—the last thing her class ever expected her to do. The smoke began to rise and clear away as before. In this picture I saw a vast expanse of beautiful grass. I could see a large group of people standing in the distance. As the vision became clearer I noted that they were watching a man playing golf. It was Delmar Houghton, a golf champion—a second Bobby Jones! Just as the picture faded, the man in attendance told me I was next and I stepped into the gorgeous room. The walls were covered with velvet hangings and on the floor were scattered many cushions. In the center of the room was a large crystal ball. I was so entranced by the room that I had forgotten the Hindu, when he called to me to be seated. As I looked at him it seemed to me that something about him was familiar. I at once dismissed the thought as impossible. When he took my hand to read mv palm, I noticed that he had a Class of ’28 ring on his finger. I glanced at his face again and knew that it was Joseph King —this famous, mysterious Hindu. I told him what I had seen in the outer room and how surprised I was to find that he was the noted fortune teller whom I had been so anxious to visit. He seemed disinclined to participate in conversation and began to read my palm. He started by telling me unimportant things about my past life but ended by saying I would spend my future years traveling around the world converting heathens. Such a satisfying day. Not only had my fortune been told, but all my classmates as they would be ten years hence, had been pictured for me. I went home, happy to know that the members of the Class of ’28 were all to be successful in their different enterprises. M. K., ’28.

VALEDICTORY Parents, members of the Board of Education, Faculty, friends and classmates: We have assembled this evening to commemorate the reaching of the goal which was our aim when we entered A. C. H. S. in 1925. We are commemorating also the beginning, the commencement of our efforts to reach another goal. This second goal is not the same for each of us, but whatever it may be, our effort will be as sincere, as tireless as it has been in the past. We shall not be content with laurels already won, but shall continue to be guided by our motto, “Looking Ahead”. To you. our parents, we wish to express gratitude. When lessons were most difficult and when problems were most perplexing, you encouraged us. Inspired by your confidence, we have attained this goal, the completion of our high school course. To the Board of Education and to the Faculty we express our appreciation. Your effort has ever been to bring us all that is best in material and equipment. To our other friends who have taken an unselfish interest in our welfare we are grateful. It is our hope that you will always feel that your confidence has been justified. Classmates: It is with regret that we realize that our last meeting as Seniors of A. C. H. S. is soon to come to a close. It is with pleasure that we recall the enjoyable associations of the past four years. As we say farewell let us be happy in the memory of past pleasures and in the anticipation of many future reunions of the Class of '28. B. B„ ’28. Page sixty-seven 19 AT A L A N TA 4 - 28 CLASS SONG (Tunc: “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi) As our thoughts return to the days now gone, That were spent in old A. H. S., Every Senior yearns; for time seems wrong That four years have passed away. Do well, do better, do best, we sav, With this as our motto so true; Every race we have won, was nobly run, With a glad heart our tasks we do. Chorus As Freshmen we came to enter the game, Amazed, bewildered and shy; As Sophomores shy of Atlanta High, History relates our fame. As Juniors trite, we had not quite Found the state of perfection ; But we stood for right, to finish the fight, And to show there was true affection. Second Chorus As Seniors at last, the die was cast, Success or failure was near; But with our motto as our aim, Worry and fear were past. With knowledge and fame, we have finished the game, We have not failed, ’tis true; So to our school and friends so dear, We bid you a last adieu. M. M„ ’28. t'aye sixty-eiuht 19 - AT A L A N TA Athletics 19 A TALANTA 28 Page seventy BASEBALL Burton Watt was our coach and he proved that he understood the game. The team enjoyed a fairly good season, winning three out of seven games. Atlanta had a good fielding team but was weak at the bat. However, we had a few men who could hit whenever they wanted to. Captain Luther and Merlin Rogers were the men who did the hurling for Atlanta. They proved their ability in several games. Merlin was our special ball merchant and he was able to put them where other teams failed to find them. Both Luther and Merlin were unsurpassed at the bat, thus being a valuable asset to the team. The infield proved air-tight in most of the games. Sidney and Joe took turns in holding down the first base. Both fielded the ball faultlessly. On second was Alex, who never let a hot one get by him. At shortstop was Luther, who could handle any kind of a ball. At third Delmar Houghton showed his skill in picking up hot ones and throwing to first. Behind the bat was Donald Houser and. to appreciate Donald’s value to the team, one should see him in action. In the outfield was Harold Haines, Harold Chrisman and Eldon Houghton, who can sure pull the high ones out of the air. In Carrel Miller, Raymond Lucas, and Welby Frantz, the team had three first-class substitutes. Following is the scores of the games: Waynesville 4 A. C. H. S 18 Latham 12 A. C. H. S 10 New Holland 6 A. C. H. S 5 Elkhart 8 A. C. H. S i Reason 6 A. C. H. S 7 Waynesville 2 A. C. H. S 11 Hartsburg 4 A. C. H.S 2 The letter men of the year are: Captain Luther Joseph King Delmar Houghton Harold Haines Harold Chrisman Sidney Reinmiller Alex Hoblit Merlin Rogers Eldon Houghton Donald Howser Page seventy-one AT A L A N T A 28 19-------- BASKETBAIX With only one regular back from last year’s squad, our coach had to build a whole new team as several of the boys had no experience. The team defeated its first two opponents in great style; Emden, 23 to 17, and Waynesville, 25 to 11. Atlanta played the fast Mt. Pulaski team and met their first defeat. 30 to 16. The team was in a slump and failed to make short shots. The following night the team played Lincoln at Lincoln. The first half the Atlanta bunch held Lincoln, but the second half Lincoln opened up. and won, 24 to 7. The team next played Latham, the third game in three nights. Everyone predicted a win for Latham but when the final whistle blew Atlanta was on the top with a 19 to 11 score. Elkhart was the next team Atlanta went against. Elkhart was too strong and they won, 34 to 11. Hamburg, our next opponent, put up a good fight but the Atlanta bunch seemed to be able to connect with the basket and we won, 33 to 15. The team journeyed to Latham. The Latham team ran up a large score in the first quarter, but after that the teams played on even terms. Latham won. 37 to 23. The next three games Atlanta won without much trouble: Chestnut, 21 to 10; New Holland, 39 to 25; and Waynesville, 16 to 6. Armington was our next foe. After a hard and fast game Armington won by one point in an overtime period. The final score was 24 to 23. Atlanta received fourth place in the county tournament, held at the Lincoln College gym. The team played four games. Emden was taken into camp by an 18 to 13 score. New Holland was not an easy opponent and, after plaving two overtime periods. Atlanta won. 16 to 15. The team was tired after playing such a hard game and lost to Latham. 40 to 14. They also lost to Lincoln, 36 to 10. The fast Elkhart team came to Atlnata for a return game. The team had an “off'’ night and failed to connect with the basket. Elkhart won. 33 to 13. The team went to Armington for a return game. The game was slow and uninteresting, Atlanta winning, 18 to 12. Hartsburg was our next opponent. Hartsburg has the reputation of being a fighting team and they proved it; but the Atlanta hunch worked together and won, 25 to 22. The last home game of the season was with Chestnut. The score was close most of the time but when the final whistle blew Atlanta held a four-point lead; 25 to 21. 1 he following night Reason was played on the Reason floor. After a close guarding game. Reason won. 16 to 9. This was the lowest score Reason had been held to, on their own floor, this season. 1 he team went to Emden for the last scheduled game of the season. Emden played hard but was unable to keep up with the Atlanta bunch. Atlanta won, 18 to 14. Page seventy-two 19---O----ATALANTA----- Page seventy-three 19 ATALANTA 28 Atlanta was sent to Mason City for the district tournament. They drew a tie and played the winner of the Lincoln-Athens game. Lincoln won and was our opponent. After a hard-fought game Lincoln won, 35 to 19. 1928 BASKETBALL SQUAD Clarence Luther, forward and captain of the 1928 team, could be depended upon for a good game. His floor work and basket eye kept Atlanta “in the running” at all times. He received honorable mention at the Logan County Tournament. He has one more year of competition. Sidney Reinmiller, center, contributed more to the team on offense than on defense. He was a good shot under the basket and, because of his height, was able to ring in “counters” every game. Sid has another year in which to show what he can do. Alex Hoblit, guard, proved his ability in every game he played. He was a stone wall on defense and very few got around him. He proved his worth in the county tournament, where he received honorable mention among the star players selected. Due to an accident, he was lost to the team at mid-season. Rut he will be back, minus a digit or two, fighting in the same old style next year. Joseph King, a guard by previous training, was shifted to forward this year. He always went into the game with plenty of spirit and fight. He stood out particularly well in “messing up” the opponent offensive and rushing the man with the ball. His baskets were always timely and on several occasions pulled us into the winning column. June Crandall, guard, was one of our biggest men and his height was a great help in handling the ball. He was on his man at all times and played a hard and consistent game. Everyone is expecting June to return next year and “show his wares” for another year. Merlin Rogers, forward, was a good dribbler, and fast. He played rebounds nicely. He always got his share of points. Merlin has one more year and we are expecting great things from him. Welby Frantz, forward, was the only Sophomore on the team. He proved to be our pinch hitter. His entry into the game, even though for a few minutes, was always rewarded with a goal or two. He should be a star of the first rank next year. Delmar Houghton, floor guard, was perhaps the most valuable man on the team. He was chosen floor guard by Logan County Tournament officials in the all-star team selection. His defense was “air-tight” and his fast break on offense seldom ended short of a good close-in shot for the basket. He was skilled in the fundamentals, cool-headed, and quick to adopt himself to team strategy. He should make a valuable man to any college squad next year. These eight players are all letter men.

Feeding the geese and turkeys, Hunting for eggs in the barn. Spreading the whitening linen Out on the line below, Ransacking every meadow Where the wild strawberries grow. Darnnig the holes in stockings, Churning the thickened cream, Washing the pails and strainers, Down by the running stream; Working from morn ’til night With never a minute to dream. Graceful in every motion, Music in every tone, Beauty in form and feature Hundreds would covet to own; Cheeks that rival the roses, Teeth of the whitest pearls; Give me the country maidens They are the best of girls.

Geraldine!” a shrill voice pierced the quiet of the room. Oh, bother.” Geraldine flung her book aside and jumped up. “I suppose I’ll have to take care of the baby or wash Susie’s face or give Johnny an apple or—, oh, why think about it; I’ll just have to find out.” “Geraldine, dear, will you please wash the rest of these dishes for me? Jane had to go to a committee meeting; she just remembered it,” her mother said. “Oh, I suppose so, but you said I could spend this time studying.” Geraldine frowned and busily plunged her arms into the steaming dishwater. “Mother is sweet but she just won’t make the children finish their work,” thought Geraldine as she hung up the dishpan. She rushed back upstairs and frantically began to study. She just must translate her Vergil and study her American history now, because tomorrow she would be so busy. Just as she was settled, a faint voice reached her ears. Could it be? Yes, of course—the familiar voice came calling, “Geraldine, come here, dear.” “Goodness! ! Again! ! What can it be now?” “Will you please go to the store for some sugar?” Well, why can’t Johnny go? What are brothers for?” Geraldine asked. “I asked him but he was playing mar—”, her mother began. “Oh, of course,” and Geraldine dashed out angrily. If only mother would stop bothering her. No wonder she could never get good grades at school. She always had to do the work for her brothers and sisters. They were a bother, anyway! Time passed by and Geraldine was again studying. But this time she was not interrupted by her mother’s voice calling her. Presently she flung aside her book and stood looking disconsolately out at the snow. Oh, how she wished it were spring! Then she could go home from this place. Geraldine was attending college in a town far from home and she had been terribly homesick. “Oh, if I only had someone to call me as mother used to do,” Geraldine wished. “I would never grumble and would always help my brothers and sisters.” Spi ing came at last and Geraldine went home. How glad she was and how sweet the baby looked! 1 hat evening when the family had gathered on the porch, after washing the supper dishes, Geraldine said. “Well, I always thought that brothers and sisters were bothersome, but I have learned that they are really a blessing in disguise, a blessing that helps to drive the blues away”. Page seventy-eight 19 ATA L A N TA 28 DYNAMITE Sharon Hoose (Winner Freshman Short Story Contest) Once, in Bittersweet Valley near the Lazy Y ranch, was an Indian tribe which owned a black colt called Dynamite. After the colt grew up, he was kidnapped from these Indians by a band of horse rustlers, and their cruel bits and sharp spurs made an outlaw out of him. He was a wise horse and escaped from the rustlers. As Blake, the owner of Lazy Y ranch described him. “he was black as midnight, big as blazes, and yet he kin go like a streak o’ greased lightning”. Blake bought Dynamite for four hundred dollars from the Indians who now-owned him. When Blake returned home he said to his son, “Bob, if yuh kin ride Dynamite, yuh kin have ’im”. Early the next morning Bob set out to locate Dynamite. He rode all morning in vain. Late in the afternoon he found Dynamite grazing in a narrow canyon. It was so late in the day. Bob decided to return the next day. Bob told his father of his find and Blake told him George Norman was going to break Dynamite in. George Norman was the best broncho-buster in the country. Bob said nothing. He knew that his father would just laugh at his plan, to tame Dynamite with kindness. The next day Blake. Norman, and Bob went to the canyon where they found the horse peacefully eating grass. Norman and Blake both lassoed Dynamite and fastened their ropes firmly. While this was going on, Bob was busy thinking. He knew that, if Norman should succeed in getting a saddle on Dynamite and started riding him, he would be thrown, and then Dynamite would be worse than ever before. When the two were ready to put the saddle on. Bob shouted, “Wait a minute . The men asked what was the matter. “Won’t you wait and let me have a chance at Dynamite for a couple of months? My idea will work better than yours.’ I he men refused Bob and staited on with their work. Then Bob ran towards the horse, and with his knife he cut the ropes holding the horse. Dynamite leaped to his feet, snorting, and swiftly galloped up the canyon. Blake and Norman were angry at Bob and the next day they went back to catch Dynamite, but the horse was always on guard. After a week of unsuccessful trying, Norman left the Lazy Y. About a week later. Bob returned to the canyon and took some lumps of sugar along. He found Dynamite, but could not get within thirty feet of him. Bob tried each day and at the end of two weeks Dynamite licked a little sugar from his hand. After another week Dynamite allowed Bob to pet him. Page seventy-nine 19 ATALANTA 28 After five weeks of trying to tame Dynamite, Bob decided to try to ride him. Two weeks before he had put the bridle on. and Dynamite was now quite used to it. So, one morning when Bob went to the canyon, he petted the horse and then gave him some oats. He put the bridle on and then led him around a little. From a rock he then climbed onto the horse’s back. Dynamite remembered the old feeling of a rider and expecting the sharp spurs digging into his flanks, he jumped, but the quiet words of Bob calmed him. Bob now put the saddle on and then swung up lightly and started down the canyon. The ranch hands and Blake stood staring at Dynamite and his new master. After a few minutes Bob broke the silence by saving. “Dad, I’ve got ’im”. es, son, you’ve got im, ” answered Blake. “You knew how to bust ole Dynamite and he is yours!” DEVOTED TO CHAHITY Dorothy Baker (Winner Sophomore Short Story Contest) Junior White, the little, six-year-old blonde, is very aggravating to his mother at times, especially the day the peanut man comes down the street. “Mom, I’m jest awful hungry; can I have some bread and butter?

Perhaps it is because we have the trained specialists and modern facilities to turn out quality engravings of every description,—perhaps it is because Kane offers more than an engraving service. When you have an idea but are not quite sure how it can best be expressed, consult us. We have a creative department of no mean reputation that is at your service.

Further than this, Blue Ribbon books enjoy a constant personal contact service, available all through the year at the staff’s call. As sistance to the Business Manager in helping with the problems of subscriptions and the assistance in the sale of advertising space, credited by many as being the greatest help offered by any organization in the field, are additional features of Blue Ribbon Service. The size of a book or school makes no difference in Blue Ribbon production, for there is just one set of s'andard methods of producing a book. That is why all Blue Ribbon annuals are of the highest grade materials and workmanship. Latest developments in style are always found in Blue Ribbon books yet the novelties that pass with the night are never approached. An annual is built for future years. Hence, the proper care and due consideration of all details are reflected in Blue Ribbon annuals. You may be proud of your annual if it is a Blue Ribbon boo'.. printed by HEPALD PPINTING STATIONERY CO.
