JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY CHAPTER I In the fall of 1926 there appeared in old A. C. H. S. a group of green but growing Freshmen. As soon as they had their program completed, they settled down and elected their officers as follows: President, Welby Frantz; Vice President, Velma Foote; Secretary-Treasurer, Pearle Gipson; and Class Advisor, Mr. Scheer. They withstood the much talked of “Initiation,” sponsored by the Sophs. Entertaining next, they gave a very enjoyable party to the rest of the High School in the “dungeon” of the school building. CHAPTER II The next year they were very much at home when they started to school, and consequently settled down to business immediately. Their officers for the ’27 and ’28 period were: President, Velma Foote; Vice President, Louise Johnson; Secretary-Treasurer, Julia Irish; and Class Advisor. Mr. Coe. It was then their turn to entertain the Freshmen, and they sure did it in grand style. The initiation was started at the Fair Grounds, but it started raining, so they had to come back to the school house. Everyone enjoyed this party to the fullest extent (except the Freshies). About Christmas time they, with the rest of the School, were entertained at the Little Theater by the Freshmen. CHAPTER III This famous class, in the fall of 1928 came into High School looking almost dignified, hut I say almost because they were only Juniors, not Seniors. Their guiding lights for this year were: President, Julia Irish; Vice President. Pearle Gipson; Secretary-Treasurer, Russel Malson; and Class Advisors, Miss Houston and Miss P ayless. They attended the various school functions during the year, including a splendid Hallowe’en party given by the Freshmen at the school. It was again their turn to entertain, this time the Junio:' Senior Banquet, which you will find described on another page. W. M. F., ’30. 18 .

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY PART I We, the Freshman class of 1927, breezed into High School (a great place so we had been told), like a brisk autumn wind, upsetting everybody and everything. Soon we were subdued by a stern and competent Faculty, and duly initiated on the most rainy day in the almanac. Our class was organized and officers were elected: Carrel Miller, President; Cleo Sullivan, Vice President; and Alta Parsons, Secretary-Treasurer; Superintendent Sheer, Class Advisor. As our finances registered zero, we were forced to devise a wav of procuring some of the coin of the realm, so numerous sandwich sales were held during the year. We gave a theater party, and fearing that the worthy upper classmen would be idle we served all day suckers (but they didn’t even last all evening). Our class was very fortunate, losing only a few of our members throughout the vear. PART II We thought we would have fun with the new teachers, but to our sad fate, we found that playing with new teachers is like playing with fire (especially in English). Knowing all the ropes (we think we do) we reorganized our class and elected officers: Sharon Hoose, President; Ina Brown. Vice President; Cleo Sullivan, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mr. Butterfield, Class Advisor. We initiated the Freshmen (very gently, for our motto is “Safety First”). Each student was asked to do a stunt before the assembly. This caused much merriment. Cakes and cider were served afterwards. We hope to furnish many contestants for the various extra curricular events. Thus we have progressed so far, so good. M. M., ’31.

FRESHMAN HISTORY On the first day of school, thirty green Freshmen, most of them graduates from the Atlanta Junior High, stood around in little groups discussing the subjects, and wondering which ones were the easiest. After the first few days they found out which classes to go to. where the dictionaries were kept, and many other useful things. Some way, they found that they had to elect officers, so they called a meeting and chose Miss Bayless for Class Advisor; Julia Reinmiller, President; Andy McKnight, Vice President; and Roy Foote, Secretary-Treasurer. The whole High School was invited to attend the Freshman party, on Nov. 2, 1928. They say they enjoyed it, but you can’t tell about these “upper class-men.” The Freshmen are determined to succeed in leaving their names imprinted forever on the A. C. H. S. furniture. So far, they have succeeded. D. T.. ’32.

Hooray! Of thee I sing; School where my fathers tried School of Pilgrims’ pride To good old A. H. S. let us sing. Hooray! Hooray! Away down deep in Cassar,- In Latin class I’ll take my stand. To flunk or pass in Latin. I stray ! I stray! Away down deep in Latin. “Will you listen to this lecture?” said the teacher To the class, “ ’Tis a lecture you should hear—every lad and lass. The way into the honor roll is up a winding stair— Many are the lessons hard which lead up there. Now lads and lasses pray do remember That semesters are but five months from September. And I heard the other day From a student who always makes an A, That she had an ode just written. So I, when she to class had gone, Did steal from her desk this song, And thus does this ode on its way trip along: And thus I heard a boy retort to his companion and escort: “Love to chawnk peppermints an’ go a swimmin’ in the 'ake Rut I hate to take the old exams for they give me a head ache. So just ’fore semesters I’m as good as I kin be.” ’Twas the night before quiz and all thru the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Everywhere, everywhere studies tonight — Studies in homes of both yours and mine. Studies in homes of the joyous and kind. Studies where small brothers often do fight, Studies where all are cheerful and bright Everywhere, everywhere studies tonight. Breathes there a stude with soul so dead Oh happy sons of A. II. S. Who never to himself hath said This is my own, my best exam, As home his footsteps he hath turned — When you these verses read, About our life at school, Will you not then think me a fool? Sing the strain once again The tale of the wonderful Basketball game, To which we owe our fame; Now sing until the echoes thrill Vale and hill; ringing still In telling the story of victories Bold That never shall grow old. - 24 .

Her father’s secretary uses her property for his own ends. When Evelyn, who is known as Cherry Blossom, is about eighteen, Worthington (the secretary) returns to Japan on his yacht with a party of American friends. One of them, John Henry Smith, falls in love with Cherry and wishes to marry her, but Kokemo, who has brought her up as his own daughter, wants her to marry Togo, a rich politician. The action of the piece centers around Jack’s efforts to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry Blossom learns her true identity, comes into her own property, marries Jack, and all ends happily. During the early fall a picnic supper was served in the gym, followed by a theatre party in Lincoln. The year closed with the annual picnic. THE B NATURAL CLUB Early in the fall the music appreciation class formed an organization which they called the B Natural Club. Earl Kindred was chosen president, Sarah Apple-gate vice-president and Mildred Kurth secretary.-treasurer. The members, as well as taking up the works of the various famous composers, wrote plays upon their lives and presented them. The best play upon the life of each composer was selected to be given. The first of these to be given in public was “Scenes From Franz Schubert’s Life” by Mlidred Kurth, which took up the most important incidents of his life. Tt was presented by the club with the assistance of the Glee Clubs. The following program was given: “The Linden Tree”................................................

It has grown considerably in size and has advanced to the point where it is playing first class music. All the members of this organization were started and trained under the capable direction of Mr. A. W. Larison. In the summer of ’28 the band played at both the state fair and at the Atlanta fair. During the school year it played at several of the basketball games and once went to Lincoln to help support the team. A program has been planned and will be given sometime in the early spring. Practice is held each Tuesday afternoon at 3 :30. Cornets R. Gresham I. Crandall W. Frantz C. Miller R. Miller P. Crihfield E-flat Horn V. Hoose Clarinets R. Lucas W. Hoose C. Tohnson A.

There was a distinct deviation from the plans of former years. 'I he costume parade, which had been an important feature before, was omitted this year. 'Phe arrangements provided for a basketball tournament between the four classes of the High School. The student body assembled for the afternoon games at Muiphy Hall with the school band helping to put pep into the event. There was keen rivalry between the teams and they entered into the contests with a vim. The Seniors and the Freshmen played the first game and the advantage in years and the experience of the upperclassmen made the Freshmen appear as not very strong competitors. The Seniors won 52 to 5. The second game, between the Juniors and the Sophomores, was a real contest. Each team fought and did its best from start to finish and the spectators were afforded many thrills during the game. The Sophomores won 28 to 11. At 5 o’clock the regular Homecoming cafeteria supper was served in the basement of the Christian church. Though the weather was unfavorable, a large crowd patronized the affair. The supper was under the supervision of the officers and members of the Patron Teachers’ Association. The High School Orchestra furnished music during the supper hour. The Junior class sponsored a candy booth and realized a neat sum for their efforts. The games between the classes were resumed at Murphy Hall at 7 o’clock. 'Phe two losers of the afternoon, the Juniors and the Freshmen, played for third and fourth places, the Freshmen winning 21 to 18. The Seniors and Sophomores met in the second game of the evening for the championship. It was an exciting and hard-fought contest. Some fine basketball was displayed by the players and the spectators had plenty of opportunity to show their enthusiasm. The game ended with Seniors 24. Sophomores 14. Raymond Lucas, Sophomore, was the high scorer, making 22 points in one game. I he classes of 1926 and 1927 played an exhibition game following the class contests, the former winning 28 to 25. The combined net receipts of the supper and basketball games were $106.30, which was divided between the Athletic Association and the Patron Teachers’ Association. S. B. H.. ’31. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY I he Sophomores were discussing a very important problem. They wandered about the halls despondently, and whenever a Freshman should appear they gazed intently at the poor victim, and then their spirits sank to rock bottom. How on earth could they initiate these Freshies. as was the custom in A. C. H. S.! At the third class meeting the problem was solved. It was decided that it leally doesn t pay to initiate Freshies. What fun is it to upperclassmen to bully the newcomers? And besides, what good does it do the Freshmen? What they really need is an introduction to High School. So we set to work, and with Mr. butte!fields valuable aiil devised a plan which would enable the Freshies to drop their timidness for good. A committee was chosen to work out the details, and one to choose refreshments. On September 21, at about 7:30, everyone was ready for the fun. Carrel Miller. Sharon Hoose and Monell Hammitt presided. Those Freshies sure came into High School in the right way. I hey entertained us with everything from campaign speeches to aesthetic dancing and hog calling.

We must not forget that five new teachers were initiated very effectively. In keeping with the season, apple cider and chocolate cakes were served. After chatting awhile, hosts and guests started home in groups of two or three. And all the members of the Class of ’31 felt they would be bigger and better students for the good turn they had done the Class of ’32. F. A. E., ’31. THE CHRISTMAS PARTY At last arrived the memorable day of December 21, 1928, to which we had looked forward for so long. Some of the upperclass students suggested that we have a “kid party” but the Freshmen opposed, saying that they had just grown up from that stage. On the morning of the 21st the entire school assembled in the High School auditorium to listen to a program. Seeing is believing, but this was once it was hard for us to believe our own eyes, for Mr. Ulrich, a skilled magician, produced an Easter Bunny from practically nothing. Next we enjoyed a radio program by Walter Damrosch. Great spirit had been aroused for the afternoon entertainment. First, some very clever games were played and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. By this time .Santa had arrived. He greeted everyone in his usual jolly manner. Then he dis tributed gifts to faculty members and students. Last, but not least, came the refreshments, which consisted of ice cream cones and candy, served by the faculty. Many alumni were also present to enjoy the good time with us. As the crowd departed they thanked the teachers for such a nice party and hoped they might attend as nice a one next year. FRESHMAN PARTY Two nights after Halloween a great number of ghosts and queer-looking creatures from all lands crept silently into the old dungeon of A. C. H. S. They spent quite a while in trying to get acquainted, so unnatural did they all appear in the ghostly glare from the range of colored lights. In the confusion it seemed that owls flew about the room and that the black cats perched on the wall were actually caterwauling. In a leafy bower in one corner of the room a beautiful gypsy princess and her attendants predicted the future for the guests. Mrs. L. W. Chatham, Emmy Lou Hoblit and Lyman Rogers selected the best costumes. Julia Reinmiller, as president of the c’ass. awarded the prizes. Burnell Applegate was considered the best. He represented an old witch, wearing a tall hat and carrying a broom. Julia Irish and MoneU Hammitt tied for second place. They were excellent reproductions of the Gold Dust Twins. Mr. Butterfield and Mr. Winn tied for third. Mr. Butterfield made an excellent old soldier, while Mr. Winn was a stately toreador. Many games entertained the guests during the evening. In a play given by the Freshman class, Pocahontas saved her lover, John Smith, from several malicious Indians. The play was read by Miss Bayless and was acted by the members of the class. Gay orange and black pennants floated over the little cakes which were served with orange ice and candy pumpkins. Each coup’e found their spoons tied together and only by very careful co-operation could they eat their ice. The entire school agreed that the Freshmen were excellent hosts and hostesses. E. L.

The guests were received in the living room among spring flowers whose colors were rivaled by the gay dresses of the girls. They entered the dining room as the school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Larison, played a lively march. What a wondrous sight met their gaze! The dining room was in colorful modernistic dress. Bold circles, triangles and squares produced a futuristic effect throughout the room. The Senior colors. Orchid and Maize, were used against a background of black. In the center of the room floated a triangle of balloons. A study effect in one nook was much admired. I all golden vases of forsythia were effectively placed against the black. Orchid candles in crystal holders tied with saucy maize bows decorated the tables, at each of which four guests were seated. Place cards, containing the menu and program, in modernistic colors of orchid and maize and dainty nut baskets were arranged at each place. When each one’s curiosity had been satisfied as to where he sat. the toastmaster for the evening, Donald Houser, cleverly introduced the Junior president. Julia Irish, who gave the Seniors a heartv welcome. Eldon Houghton, Senior Class president, responded. The following menu was then served by the Sophomore waitresses, Frances Estes, Helen Paulsen, Cleo Sullivan, Marie Brandt, Floy Edwards, and Grace Swan. Fruit Compote Blanquette of Chicken Junior Special Cubed Carrots and Peas Dinner Rolls Olives Marmalade Modernistic Salad Coffee Cheese Triangles Senior Ice Cream Angel Cake Nuts . I he murmur of many voices was accompanied by music from the orchestra throughout the banquet. The toast program was as follows: “Students of Yesterday”....................................Miss Hieronymus “Modern Youth”............................................. Mr. Rutterfield Reading, “Kings and Things”...................................Miss Bayless “Knowledge Seekers of the Future”................................Mr. Winn 1 he Class of 29 ............................................Mr. Chatham Deserved words of praise were given to the mothers by Donald Houser, and then pictures were taken while everyone was still seated. 1 he rest of the evening was spent informally. From one corner of the reception room came the sound of happv voices singing popular songs. Conversation was kept busy in other corners. Throughout the room persons could be seen writing their autographs on place cards. A beaut-ful Madame Butterfly rosebud, the Senior class flower, was presented to each guest as a fragrant remembrance of a delightful evening. t. J., ’30. - 32 - A.C.H.S.

The contestants were coached by Miss Hieronymus. Those entering in the various events were as follows: Dramatic— Ina Brown Evelyn Kurtz Marjorie Satterfield Humorous— Edna McCombs Grace Swan Julia Reinmiller Oration— Welby Frantz Earl Kindred THE HOME ECHO CLUB The Home Echo Club meetings began in November with an enjoyable picnic. The meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month, each member taking her turn on the refreshment and program committees, with different programs being carried out. The officers were: Julia Irish, President; Ruth Riley, Vice President; Louise Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer; and Miss Houston, Advisor. One of the aims of the club was to have some way of leaving a gift to the Home Economics Department. School dinners and other novelties were the ways employed in making money for this. A St. Patrick’s Party was the big event of the year. About sixty guests were present. Games of various sorts were played and dainty refreshments served. Everyone agreed that this was a big success.

This stage isn’t a very good classroom, tut it’s the only place there was for the commercial department. I thought Mr. Jackson would be here; he usually stays quite a while after school.’’ “Oh, a Victrola! Do you have music with your typing? And Underwood typewriters—thirteen of them! This is the first year shorthand and typewriting have been taught, isn’t it?” “Yes. The commercial department was begun last year, but only bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic and business law were taught. About the music —we still have it part of the time, but not so often as we did earlier in the year. I believe I make fewer mistakes than if we hadn’t had the rhythm lecords.” “Music certainly is a great he'p in typing! Do you use these copies of the “Gregg Writer” here 'on the desk very much? Do you have a 100 per cent Club?” “Yes, we have—the A. C. H. S. was on the Roll of Honor printed in the March issue in recognition of it. The shorthand class uses the “Gregg Writer” almost ever)- day, and we—I mean the typewriting pupils—use them a great deal. Seventeen pupils sent in the December O. A. T. test, and sixteen qualified and—” “What? Sixteen received membership in the Order of Artistic Typists before they bad completed one semester of typing! Why, I think that’s remarkable! Have any received Order of Gregg Artists membership?” “No—not yet. Each pupil sent in the O. G. A. contest copy, but the judges in New York are very busy just now and Mr. Jackson hasn’t heard from them. Rut about the O. A. T.—you didn’t let me tell you that Mildred Kurth was awarded a bronze pin for having the best paper submitted. Her name was in the “Gregg Writer,” too—quite an honor, we pupils think! See our Honor Roll of Champion Typists—those persons did best in the Underwood Awards test for the month indicated. We get just one chance a month to write for pins, and we must not make more than five errors in fifteen minutes on material we have never seen before.” “Yes, I know—we took the Underwood tests at business college. Tell me about the awards received so far.” “Marjorie Satterfield and Christene Rilliter were the first to receive pins for writing more than forty words a minute. Marjorie was the first to get her name on the Honor Roll, but Christene has the best speed record—48 net words per minute with five errors. Edna Irish was the March champion, winning her pin bv writing 45 net words a minute with only two errors in fifteen minutes— the best accuracy record up to that time. Other pupMs who have received Underwood awards are Marian Watt. Mildred Shaw and Wilma Neel. Yes. and Omah Hooten—she won three pins, but Mr. Jackson didn’t put her name on the Honor Roll because she was a post-grad and had typed some before this year. She won a Competent Typist certificate and Honorable Mention in the February “Gregg Writer” for writing 75 words a minute.” “She certainly must be good—not many can write that fast when they finish business college. Is she the only post-graduate student, and how many are taking the different subjects?” -34 A.C.H.S. ■mmiMMiMmmiMiiatiiRimiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiniiimimiiiniimiiiniimiiiiniiniiiniifiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiitininiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii aiDJiiutiiittiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniwiiiiiiniwiinitiiiiiiniiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini 19 2 9 ATALANTA lllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllN “No, there are two other post-graduates—Cora Cochran and June Crandall. There are thirteen in shorthand and typewriting, and twelve others are taking typewriting alone. The bookkeeping class is small, only seven taking it.’” “Is Atlanta planning to enter the State Commercial Contest?” “Yes, but first I want to tell you about the awards in bookkeeping. Bronze pins were given at the end of the semester to those making grades of 90 or more—Eldon Houghton, Evelyn Kurtz, June Crandall, and Omah Hooten received them—and silver pins are to be given to those doing as well during the second semester. About the contest—Mr. Jackson plans to enter a team in typing, but only individuals in the other events. I think we might as well go now—we’ve seen about everything here—and I can tell you more about what we’ve done on the way downtown.” “All right—turn out the light.

In jest, they make out an order to Hamilton and Blake’s Mail Order House for two wives. Mr. Henshaw finds the order and adds his son’s name to it, the Indian servant having suggested a wife would cure the young man of writing plays. Nance Henshaw also worries her father by her attempts to write poetry. The unexpected arrival of Jane Hamilton and her brother whom she turns over to the cowboys to be cured of his English mannerisms; Mr. Hamilton’s secretary who poses as a maid; the three brides; and finally, William Hamilton himself, created an evening of fun for both audience and players.

Once I asked what he wanted to do With his money. He answered me, sober enough: ‘Son, I’m investing in you.’ “I’ve thought lots about that. It’s hard on my clothes When I’m careless and rough at my play; And I used to waste time; and I never planned much What I wanted to work at, some day. “But since he said that, what a difference it makes!

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1925, a bright sunshiny morning, the sh'p A. C. H. S. set sail for a four-year cruise. Forty passengers were enrolled on the ship’s register, besides Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The ship left harbor at 9 a. m. with Mr. Scheer in the Captain’s cabin and the mate, Mrs. Kollman, on duty. Everything went beautifully the first two or three days. However, as the weeks went by, we endured many domestic squalls and some of the passengers became sick. At times we were almost overcome by the immense Algebra and Latin waves which rolled so high. Many times the storm seemed to be abated, and the sea seemed to ride easier when suddenly we seemed to be in the heart of another storm. One morning the Captain said: “We are in the heavy storm of semester exams and it will be a trying day for the ship.” The storm broke at 9 a. m. and for hours we were madly tossed about on the waves. The ship was so ferociously tossed about that several of the passengers went overboard. The lifeboats were lowered immediately, but of no avail. They could not be rescued. Da vs dragged by and we finally arrived at our first port where we bid a sad adieu to the Seniors of ’26. After three months in port we again set sail. The first few days were spent in renewing old friendships. On this trip Mr. Coe filled the position vacated by Mrs. Kollman. It took us only three weeks to discover that we had some deadly enemies on board. Two of the worst ones were Mr. History and Mr. Geometry. Miss English was also on board, but she was not nearly as troublesome, although she caused a few deaths in our company. Last but not least came Cains Julius C esar, who was the most dangerous of all. Several times - .17 - A.C.H.S. ,iiii!i,ii!iiiiiiiii:i� iiiiiiiiiii iiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiinniiiii;iiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiii� i!iMii ii iiiniuMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiimiuiiiiiiiiMiiHiiiHiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii 19 2 9 ATALANTA lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! our company threatened to throw him overboard. There were many other quarrels of lesser importance, but we finally landed in the second port. Everyone was aware of the fact that they had been through a trying experience. On September 1, 1927, we again set sail on our third voyage. We were still sailing under the guidance of our captain, Mr. Scheer, but under a new mate, Miss Houston. This voyage was probably the most enjoyable and pleasant of all, although several times we had to encounter those terrible storms which always seemed to be the Waterloo for some of our passengers. Toward the end of this voyage we planned to give some of the most important passengers a little entertainment. A few days before the end of the journey, we gave a “booming” reception for them and wished them all the success of life. Then we separated, each to spend the vacation as he wished. September soon rolled around again, and on September 4, 1928, we all assembled again to begin our last and greatest voyage on the dear old ship A. C. H. S. The gang plank was lifted at 9 a. m. and we steamed out to sea, headed toward the top round in life’s ladder. The first few days were spent, as vou would guess, in renewing acquaintances and relating experiences of the summer. First class passengers numbered twenty-one. On this trip our ship was manned by an almost entirely new crew. Mr. Chatham very kindly served as our Captain. Four weeks out found us very well established at our various tasks and looking forward to a pleasant voyage. Everything went well through the first eighteen weeks, when we were again hit by a heavy semester squall. Everyone sustained the danger, although even the Captain was afraid that we were going to lose some of our number. The remaining part of the journey was full of fun and entertainment. The one big event, of course, was the reception given by the Juniors just before we glided into dock. Our faces are bright, but down in our hearts we are very sorry to desert the faithful old ship and her crew. The day for parting has arrived; the anchor has dropped into Life’s Harbor for the first time; and, as our motto says, “We’re on our way.” COLORS: Orchid and Maize. R. E. K., ’29. SENIOR CHARGE We, the Senior Class of 1929, are about to start our career in the world alone, but before we leave A. C. H. S., we wish to give the Juniors a bit of advice of how to carry on the tasks of the Senior Class. We know they can never live up to the standards of the class of ’29, but we hope that they will profit somewhat by this so-called “SENIOR CHARGE.” Julia Irish seems to be the “belle” of your class, as well as your “guiding star.” You picked a very capable little lady as your leader and should be very proud of her. We know that Charles Kindred will become famous as he has an unusually good start in amateur broadcasting, but why, Charles, don’t you broadcast a few of your bright ideas around the class rooms? -38- A.C.H.S. ..................................................................................................................... mma.....iiimimimi iiiuuiinaoiHUHiiHuauoiaiioiKiiuiuiiijmiJiiiaiuiBiutiifliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiitiiBim itaiiHiMiufliuiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu 19 2 9 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllliw ATALANTA llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllll!IIUIIlUi:illlllllllllllllll Now Louise Johnson, why don’t you try to overcome some of your timid mannerisms? Why don’t you spread that pleasant little smile of yours, and make it laugh out loud? There is not much advice to be given to Ruth Riley. We won’t worry about her, as we know she is being well guided by one of our Senior Stars. Welby Frantz seems to be your c’ass “sheik.” He can be found at most any time riding around in the East end of town in his flivver. By the way, Welby, why don’t you trade your open air bus in on a new sport model? Mildred Zollars is a girl of whom your class can be proud. If more of you would follow in her footsteps, the class of 1930 should make very capable Seniors. We see no definite future for Donald Houser, as we feel quite sure he will never become a second Caruso. But don’t be discouraged, Donald. Paul White-man may need a good saxaphonist some day. Helen Beverly, we hope you will remember that it is below the dignity of a Senior to ever chew gum. You must put away such a childish habit before next year. Russel Williams, we leave the office to you. It shall be your privilege to inhabit it as much as you like, but remember, you determine for yourself how much time you spend there. We know that Cecil French is just a kid, but we still have a little hope for him since he has been associating with a “walking dictionary.” The only fault we can find with Mary McKinnon is her weakness for study. Your class should be proud of Mary, as she is accomplishing much in her three-year course. We will all. I’m sure, remember Pearle Gipson by her one prominent dimple and her hearty laugh. When we return to visit next year we hope that laugh will still be echoing through the halls. We will not hand advice to Marion Sullivan because he acts more as Seniors ought to act than do the rest of you. You know he started his high school career with us. Mildred Crawford, please leave those Sophomore boys alone. Pick on some one who is a little older than you, and you will soon overcome the kids’ habit of “day-dreaming.” Harland Hammitt, it is certainly too bad that your so desired mustache just won’t grow any faster. But I am sure John Gilbert will lose his Tame when you do acquire it. It seems that Christine Billeter will some day be quite a promising stenographer. Perhaps one of those who never keep their promise. Roy Gresham, we insist that you develop your musical talent, for we hope you will become a famous cornetist some day. Velma Foote, what is it I hear about your dieting? Please don’t diet, Velma, we like those lovely curves. I see a very great future for Dorothy Baker, as she has set as her life’s ambition—well, we aren’t supposed to tell, but we just know that she will be a success. - 39 - A.C.H.S. allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllliniHllllllllllllllllllllllMlll iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin 19 2 9 ATALANTA niUIIIIIUIIIIIUIIIIIIII!l!!llllllllllllllllllllllll!llll!llllllllllllllllllllll!llllll Last, but not least, are the Amberg twins, Clifton and Clifford. They are so very much alike, that we don’t wonder they both have the same girl on one string. Sooner or later one of you will have to give in, so why not come to some agreement? Now that each of you have heard your faults, try to mend them. Follow the advice we have given, and the examples we have set, and become the brilliant class of 1930. In behalf of the class of ’29, I bid you a fond farewell—-and may you te worthy to follow in the path which we have trodden. D. L. K., ’29. JUNIOR RESPONSE Most esteemed Seniors of the Class of ’29: In behalf of the Junior Class 1 wish to thank you for the kind advice you have so generously given us, but we are growing up and with you as worthy examples we hope to excel your highest expectations. Now perhaps we can give you some suggestions that will help you to win fame in this world. Eldon, we hope some day you will be as wealthy as you were supposed to be in the Senior play, but if you are to reach such a position in life you must not flirt with the girls so much. We suggest that you, Marian, beware of Lincoln College sheiks. Norman, you seem to enjoy spending your time in the Physics lab. We hope vour interest in science continues and that you will bring fame to Atlanta High School. We think that it would be nicer if Lila would be more loyal to the home towners instead of being so interested in Bloomington. Mildred Shaw has been the recorder of great events this year; with her unusual industry we hope she may do great deeds to be recorded in history. As a church worker Beatie can’t be beat. We hope you’ll never lose your interest in religious work, hut we like you as romantic as you were in the play. Dale, you should use Wilma as your example. You should appreciate the efforts that have been spent on you. Wilma is noted for her brilliancy. However, Wilma, as a Senior, you aren’t supposed to chew gum in school even if Andy does give it to you. Clarence Luther is all right and we shall let just one Junior advise him. Marjorie has a college star to guide her and she does not need our advice. We suggest, Sarah, that you come back and take a post-graduate course in domestic science. You would make an excellent farmer’s wife. Earl, your side-bums were so becoming in the play. We suggest that you try to sell your English mannerisms to some novel producer. Evelyn Kurtz, if you do as well in life as you have done in Chemistry, I think you will advance quite far. We have one request ta make of Edna—that she does not write any of her eternal poetry for us. Merlin has mounted so high in his school days that if he keeps trying he may mount higher than any of us. Florence Church, why are you so interested in tall, curly-haired men? We can’t imagine you as a farmer’s wife. - -to - A.C.H.S. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiniiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiHliilii iiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiuimiiHiiiiiuiiii'HiniiuiiiiimimnHiniiiiiim 19 2 9 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiniiiiiiniii ATALANTA iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii: Alex Hoblit, we shall miss our taxi-driver next year. You have been such an efficient one because you always use both hands on the wheel. When Mildred Kurth is through school she will probably make plenty of dough—at the bakery. Dorothy Kurtz, if you go to college, I suggest that you spend more of your time studying instead of drawing pictures for the boys of their “suppressed desire.” Vaudrene, you’d better be careful in your life’s travels because there is many a man who would be more than glad to have a good-looking blond for a wife. If Sidney Reinmiller attains as high a position in life as he has in height he will become quite famous. Now to the class as a whole: I hope that you will all enjoy your travels along life’s highways and that in your wanderings may the highways lead you back to old A. C. H. S. to see how we’re getting along without our noble Seniors First, we extend to our teachers, thanks— From grades through the high school— Who will surely forgive our numerous pranks, And remember our practice of the golden rule. If anything you wish to find, To our Wilma you must go, For she has a master mind, And can always let you know. The smartest boy of our class: Eldon, yes, small as small can be, But he excels in every task, For he’s big in thought, you see Marian, our very talented dame, Friendly and kind to all who pass, Whose singing will surely bring her fame, And much honor to our class. There is a lad so very tall: Sidney, our athlete, Who is a star in basketball, And performs wondrous feats. We boast of Evelyn and Dorothy you bet, Evelyn—a studious girl—we’ve found, These sisters we can ne’er forget, Dorothy—in art, will gain renown. of ’29. J. I., ’30.

Of Edna—this we all must say: So small, so gentle, and refined, She has a very pleasing way, Each word, low-spoken, soft and kind. Now, there is a certain hoy and girl, Who are friends to everyone— A good, old scout is Earl; And Lila, unkind to none. Florence, who is always full of wit, May someday a dancer be; In all activities she does her hit. And leads us in our yells, you see. Dale one knows by his curly hair. Which is quite permanent; He never has a worry or care, And is a noted cheerer at tournaments. One member in the orchestra plays. Much solo work she does; A prominent figure in those school days. Our talented Vaudrene was. There is a hoy who loves to tease— Norman, as you can guess; But we are always pleased, To that we must confess. Beatrice, a classmate of charming grace, May enter the movies someday, And with her twinkling eyes and smiling face— The leading part will play.

Now of Clarence Luther and Alex Hoblit, No doubt you have heard of their fame— For as athletes in Atlanta High School, Each one has made a great name. And now I’ve told of each lad and lass, Except myself, and I’ll just say: “I’m only too glad to be one of this class— That graduates this May.” Now don’t you think we’re just fine? There are twenty-one of us to go away, In this good, old class of ’29— And as our motto says: “We’re on our way.” It is June, 1949, and I have just returned from a visit to the island of Haiti. I had been sent there by the Chicago Prairie News to secure material for the feature section of the Sunday issue. Twenty years ago when I was a Senior in A. C. H. S. I read a book called “The Magic Island,” by W. B. Seabrook, which impressed me very much. Two months ago while traveling on the “Magic Island” I had the pleasure of witnessing something which would equal the voo-dooism described in that book. A friend took me to meet the same Classinia Seabrook described and she, having taken a liking to me, bestowed upon me a great honor. I was led into a room and seated before an altar of skulls. Facing me was a grotesque and sinister face wearing crystal goggles, which, slightly phosphorescent, appeared horrible in the semi-darkness of the smoky room. I was no sooner seated than she removed these curious goggles and handed them to me saying that they were the famous crystal goggles through which all was revealed. I placed them before my eyes and began to see astonishing things, a few of which I will relate to you. First, I saw a familiar room. Yes, it was the physics room at old A. C. H. S. and the instructor was my old classmate whom I knew as Florence Church. It seemed that she had married an Atlanta farmer and was teaching science as her avocation. Next I found myself looking at a neat little bakery. Delicious looking cakes and pastries of all kinds were displayed in the show cases. From the sign I discovered that this was “Kruger’s Bread Pan,” Proprietor, Beatrice Fulk. M. L. S., ’29. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY -43 - A.C.H.S.

IlilllllllllllltlJUJIllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ATALANTA I closed my eyes and when I opened them I saw the interior of the United States House of Representatives. A representative from Illinois was trying to prove that women’s rights should be repealed. It was Norman Gordon. 1 next saw a vast estate in South America. I could not imagine which of my friends might be the owner. As I gazed, an aeroplane circled about and landed. Who should alight but Mildred Kurth! Of course. Why hadn’t I thought of it sooner? Mildred Kurth, the owner of South America’s largest newspaper. I saw before me a large crowd. 1 hey were all intently watching something, and I looked to see what was so interesting. A car flashed by. It was a new Ford trying to break the speed record. Just then I saw a sign: “New I-ord, driven by Alex Iloblit.” My suspicions were confirmed! I next saw a little tea shop in Boston, and the sign read: “Ye Olde Brasse Kettle,” Proprietor., Edna Irish. I was very much amazed at what I next saw. It was at the Woman’s College at Constantinople and was just after the big game which had determined the champion basketball team of Europe. Constantinople had won. Why shouldn’t they with Eldon Houghton as coach ? Presently I found myself looking into a sumptuous New York office. A woman. Yaudrene Hoose, was sitting at the desk. Vaudie is at the head of Wall Street’s biggest brokerage firm. She got her first experience as business manager of the Atalanta. I found myself watching two girls going through the intricate steps of the I olonaise. I lead from the program that they were the Kurtzberg sisters, and 1 realized at once that they were my former classmates, Dorothy and Evelvn Kurtz. I next saw a tropical scene and there, in the midst of the jungle, was Pro-fessoi Earl Kindred, of Yarvard, looking for a new species of June bugs of which he had heard. T he scene changed and before me was a iiuge factory. It changed again, and sitting at a desk before me was the manufacturer herself, Lila Kindred______ maker of bigger and better voltometers, ammeters and galvonometers. She became interested while studying Physics at A. C. H. S. I next found myself doing what I had always wanted to do—watching a moving picture in the making. 1 was interested, quite naturally, in seeing for myself what kind of men these directors are and if they are really human. I finaHy saw what I guessed to be one, and upon looking twice I found he was Sidney Reinmiller, mustache and all. Sid, directing the Mack Sennett Bathing Beauties! I was so astonished that I blinked my eyes to see if it were real, but when I opened them I saw the interior of a New York cabaret and there, before my unbelieving eyes, was Dale Mason, conducting the World’s greatest jazz orchestra. -44 - llllillllllllllllllllllllllll||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||j||||||||||j|||||||l|l||||||lllllll,IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH UIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII||||||||||||||||||||||||i|||||||||||]|!|||t|||||||||||||||||||||||||,|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| A.C.H.S. 19 2 9 ATALANTA iiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin The next vision was dim and I could scarcely make out' the figure in it, but as it grew clearer I saw Mildred Shaw. She was in South America experimenting with snake dyes. Next I saw the figure of a woman dressed in severely tailored clothes. She had her back to me, but as she turned I thought she looked familiar. Yes, it was Wilma Neel. She was in Springfield lobbying for the Smith-James bill. That scene changed and I saw what looked like a baseball park. The Owls were playing the Clubs. There was Merlin Rogers, the noted Owl’s pitcher, and as I watched he waved at a good-looking girl on the sidelines. Pete had not changed a bit! I found myself looking in through a keyhole this time. It was at a meeting of the Cabinet of the United States and there, as Postmaster-General, was Marian Watt. The next was different. Instead of seeing someone I found a paper opened before me. It was the Harper’s Bazaar and the pages were opened to an advertisement of Elizabeth Arden preparations. Below the picture I read: “Mrs. Stuyvesant Stanley Fish, nee Marjorie Satterfield, uses only Elizabeth Arden Creme on her lovely skin.” The last scene was in a large auditorium in Chicago. The Chicago Civic Opera was making its last appearance of the season. One singer, especially, was applauded and I app'auded. I looked to see who could deserve such a demonstration and there was Clarence Luther. Clarence was the star and had become world renowned. The vision faded as Classinia removed the crystal goggles from my eyes and I was conducted from the room. You may imagine what great pleasure it gave me to see how well my c’assmates were doing. I certainly considered this the most interesting incident of my entire journey. S. A., ’29.

VALEDICTORY To—Parents, Classmates, Faculty, Members of the Board of Education, and Friends of the Class of ’29—greetings! This night brings to each of us mingled fec'ings of regret and happiness— regret at leaving our old familiar haunts in A. C. H. S., and happiness that we may now seek our place in the battles of tomorrow. Soon we embark upon a voyage over the sea of life. For some of us that journey may te tempestous, weary, and difficult—for others of us it may lead into halls of fame and success. But wherever that journey may lead, we feel that we carry with us the hearts and hopes of all of you—our friends. We come to-night filled with gratitude to those who have made this memorable occasion possible—our Parents who have made every sacrifice for us, our Teachers who have labored unceasingly, the Board of Education for our educational opportunities, and all our friends for the interest and sympathy which they have shown. And now, dear Classmates, as we come to the parting of our ways, we stand upon the bridge that spans the gap between yesterday and to-morrow. Let us go forward and meet those tasks and duties, that are sure to come, with a steadfast hand and a courageous heart. May we ever hold befoie us the motto of our beloved class, “We’re On Our Way.” “We scatter all too soon our several ways, And thus our dear associations end— Those who were near through years that spe I along Will follow fancy’s whim, where skylines blend. “The shimmering shores of other lands will claim The dear companionship of some we knew, While country lanes will lure the hearts of some, And city walls will hedge in some of you. - 47 - A.C.H.S. iiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHHiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniuiiiiiniiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii iiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininiiiiiniiiiniiiiniiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiii 19 2 9 ATALANTA •lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll It may be ships and tides will call to one Who, poring over books, must ever dream, And thus he satisfies his restless soul And finds his ships in clouds that whitely gleam.

II. S. Atlanta won the County Championship for the first time in many years. The boys under Coach Winn worked hard and were out to win every game. The Team: —Merlin Rogers was a strike out pitcher. Me had a fast ball and change of pace with lots of control and always had the other team guessing. Not only did he have the batters guessing, 1 ut also the opposing pitchers because “Pete” was also a heavy hitter. —Clarence Luther, our catcher, was an experienced and dependable player, lie had a good peg to second and the runners always thought twice before trying lo steal. Luther, like Rogers, was one of our hardest hitters. —Sidney Reinmiller, our captain, played first base and due to his build, the high and wide ones never got by him. Sidney was no heavy hitter hut always batted in his share of runs. —Marion Sullivan was our second-baseman. “Dutch” handled the hot ones nicely and never made a wild throw to first. He was also good at taking throws from home and getting the ball' on his man. So.

He could scoop up the hot ones and also had a good throwing arm. Due to his size, Raymond was hard to pitch to and when they did get it over he hit it. —Elon Gardner held down the hot corner in great style. He also possessed a good throwing arm. Elon was a good hitter and also did the relief pitching. —Earle Gardner, our only southpaw on the team, played right field. He never missed the high Hies and had a good arm when it came to throwing home. Earle will probably be called upon to do the pitching in 1929. —Alex H obi it, our centerfield, was also an experienced player and all of the flies that came in his territory were in a well. (Due to the loss of one of his thumbs. Alex was made over from a second-baseman into a fielder.) He could be depended upon to get a hit when a hit was needed. —Roy Foote played left fie’d and although Roy was only a Freshman he played his position well. Some of his sensational catches of long drives played a big part in some of Atlanta’s wins. —Donald Houser p'ayed first base and some in the field. Donald was a dependable man in the field and always did his share of hitting. Donald will probably do the catching next year. —Earle Kindred played third base and played it well. Earle had a good eye for short flies and also had a good throw to first. He was a good hitter and could be depended upon to bring in a run. The team was very fortunate in having several class A substitutes as VVelby Frantz, Cecil French, Eldon Houghton, and Carrel Miller.

PULASKI 16 This was the first game of the season. The game was fast and exciting. The score was tied at the half hut in the fourth quarter Mt. Pulaski jumped into the lead four points and held it until the final gun. ATLANTA 14 vs. LINCOLN 24 Our second game was with Lincoln, the strongest team in this part of the country. Atlanta played good hall the first half, but in the third quarter Lincoln piled up a big lead. The boys came back strong in the fourth quarter and gave Lincoln a scare when they began sinking baskets from all angles. ATLANTA 34 vs. ARMINGTON 24 Armington, a Tazewell County team who had been victorious over the best teams in the county, came over confident of victory. The game started fast with Atlanta hitting the baskets from every possible angle. The half ended 20 to 9. In the last half Atlanta did not let up for one minute because Armington always has a great comeback when given half a chance. ATLANTA 24 vs. ALUMNI 20 A game was arranged with the former schoolmates and graduates of A. C. H. S. The former stars showed some good basketball, but due to the lack of training fell behind in the latter part of the game. ATLANTA 30 vs. SPRINGFIELD 14 Springfield came to play on Atlanta’s floor for the first time in several years. The small slick floor was a handicap for the Springfield boys, but Atlanta was keyed up to the highest pitch with the idea of beating as large a team as Springfield. The Atlanta boys outplayed their opponents from start to finish. - 5- A.C.H.S. 192 9 ATALANTA ATLANTA 33 vs. HARTSBURG 27 Hartsburg came to Atlanta without a defeat in nine starts. The Hartsburg hoys were all six-footers and the score was 7 to 2 before the Atlanta boys began to function. Then the score began to look better for Atlanta and at the half it stood 17 to 17. In the third quarter Atlanta piled up a lead that Hartsburg could not overcome in the last quarter rally. ATLANTA 23 vs. NEW HOLLAND 21 Atlanta journeyed to Middletown for a game with New Holland. The New Holland boys were also six footers and on the small, slick floor the Atlanta boys had a hard time keeping out of their way. New Holland led the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter Atlanta took the lead and soon held a two-point advantage which they held throughout the remainder of the game. ATLANTA 24 vs. ARMINGTON 32 The Armington boys were out for revenge for the 34-24 defeat that Atlanta gave them in the earlier part of the season. The jinx seemed to be with Atlanta. Their passes were poor and they couldn’t make their shots. On the other hand it was a great night for Armington as they were swishing the net almost every time they shot. ATLANTA 17 vs. WAYNESVILLE 19 In this game Atlanta was over-confident and went into the game thinking they had it easy. They soon found out that it wasn’t so easy as they thought. The first quarter ended with Waynesville leading 5 points. The reserves were put into the game while the first team was taken out to see their mistakes. The reserves played good ball and held their own for over a quarter and then Waynesville began making some long shots. The first team was then put in and it looked like a new team, but their rally fell short two points; but if there had been a few seconds to play it would have been a different story. ATLANTA 40 vs. McLEAN 37 Our old rivals, McLean, came to Atlanta to play for the first time in two years. The game was fast with much fouling on both sides. Both teams relied mostly on long shots and the score see-sawed back and forth, but Atlanta beat McLean at their own game of shooting long shots and gained a three-point lead just before the gun. ATLANTA 22 vs. WAYNESVILLE 14 Atlanta played much better ball in this game than they did in the first game with Waynesville. The boys soon hit their stride and after the first quarter had the game well in hand. They had learned not to be over-confident in their first game with Waynesville and which helped them in many games to come. ATLANTA 35 vs. NEW HOLLAND 19 In this game Coach Winn tried out a scheme that worked perfectly. The reserves played the first half and ran the large New Holland boys until they were tired and then the first team went in and swept New Holland off their feet to make twenty points in less than a quarter. The reserves were then replaced to finish the game. -53- A.C.H.S.

The boys played good ball at times and then again they would forget the new style of offense and rush wildly down the floor. The game was close the first half, but in the last half McLean piled up a comfortable lead. Despite the defeat, Coach Winn was satisfied with the showing, while the hoys used the deliberating offense. COUNTY TOURNAMENT ATLANTA 25 vs. LATHAM 29 Atlanta drew Latham in their first game of the county tournament. The boys were all in poor shape for a tournament, with vaccinations and colds. The game was a thriller from start to finish. The score was tied 22 all at the final gun and an overtime was necessary. Atlanta started the overtime off with a free throw and a basket, but Latham came back with three baskets to win the game 29 to 25. ATLANTA vs. HARTSBURG In the consolation At’anta played Hartsburg, who had a good team and had lost but two games, and one of them was to Atlanta. The boys were tired from their battle with Latham in the afternoon and played far from their usual brand of ball. Coach Winn played the reserves the last half. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT ATLANTA 16 vs. BEASON 14 Atlanta drew it about the hardest of any team in the tournament, but were determined to win at any rate. The Atlanta-Beason game was one of the best games of the tournament. Atlanta had taken up a new style of play which completely baffled the strong Reason team. Reason was boasting wins over teams like Athens and Clinton, but in the final minutes of play Atlanta gained a two-point lead and held it. ATLANTA 18 vs. LINCOLN 31 By beating Reason it gave Atlanta the right to meet Lincoln in the second round of the tournament. Lincoln was doped to win the tournament, but Atlanta gave them a real battle. Atlanta held a 5 to 4 lead at the quarter, but Lincoln forged ahead to hold an 11 to 7 lead at the half. In the last half Atlanta began to show signs of the Reason game, while Lincoln was fresh, being their first game of the tournament. Atlanta SCHEDULED GAMES 12 Mt. Pulaski C.

Alex played back guard and could always be depended upon to stop his man. He had a good eye for the basket from back of center and was always noted for his F-I G-H-T. (Letter man.) Sidney Reinmiller, our center, was a consistent player and could he depended upon to score when a score was needed. “Sid” was a dangerous man under the basket and was also a good man on defense. Due to his height, he always got the tip-off in all our games. (Letter man.) Merlin Rogers played forward and was a good dribbler and a good shot from anywhere on the floor. “Pete” had lots of drive and could be depended upon for more than his share of points. He scored most of his points on follow-up shots. (Letter man.) Welby Frantz played forward and running guard and did very creditable work in either position. “Frantz” was a shifty player and a classy floor man. He was an exceptionally good shot from about the free throw line and made most of his has kets from there. (Letter man.) Clarence Luther, our floor guard, was an experienced man, this making his fourth year on the team. “Luther” was a good guard and the offense generally started from his position. He was a dependable man and could play any position on the floor. In many of the games when players were ejected on fouls he was put in either at center or forward. (Letter man.) Raymond Lucas played forward and was a fast and shifty player, and due to his size he was very hard to guard. “Lucas” played well and got many hard falls, but never gave up. He is only a Sophomore and much can be expected of him in years to come. (Letter man.) Eldon Houghton was a fast man on his feet and dribbled around guards for many baskets. Eldon improved rapidly at the last of the season and helped the team considerably. Floyd Shifflet, a Sophomore, was a fast man, but had difficulty in hitting the basket. He was taken from forward and placed at guard, where he showed up to good advantage. Roy Foote, although only a Freshman, was a good all-round player. Due to his size he should make a good center or guard next season. Carrel Miller, forward, improved rapidly this season and saw some service in several games. Carrel had a good eye for the basket and will be a valuable asset to the team next year. Harold Click, also a Freshman, showed great possibilities as a good all-round player. “Click” had plenty of fight, handled the ball well and was also a good shot. -55 - IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllHIfltHIIMIIHIIitlllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIII'lllllllllllllllllltllllllMH 1lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!)ll|l!llllllllUllllllllIIIIIIIIII!ll!l!li:UIIIIIIIII!lllllltlllllllIllllllllUIIIIHIIIIIIIIIUII!IUIIIIIIIIIII!lll!!IIIIHIIItl!li:ilIi:il|ll A.C.H.S. 19 2 0 ATALANTA (IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN 1928 TRACK Top row—Lucas, Houser, Winn, Foote, Malson.

We had dual meets with McLean and Elkhart in which Atlanta defeated McLean by a wide margin but was nosed out by Elkhart by a few points. Atlanta also participated in the triangular meet held at Lincoln. In this meet Atlanta, Lincoln and Williarfisville were the three teams. Lincoln won first, with Atlanta a close second. In this meet Atlanta cleaned up on the field events but were weak on the runs. The next meet was the county meet, which was also held in Lincoln. Again Atlanta was strong on the field events, and won fourth place in the meet. Rogers was the mainspring of the team, winning four medals and breaking the pole vault record. Mt.

The principal had just announced that a scholarship to one of the leading colleges was to be given to the girl or boy who handed in the best theme on “Making My Own Way Through School.” Little groups were gathered here and thei‘e over the room discussing the best way to go about winning the desired prize. “Oh gee! that will be a snap,” chirped Grace; “Just make it nice and flowery and the rest will come easy.” “Well, I don’t know about that,” sighed Dot, “You see, we don’t all have an easy school life like you, but I should worry; I can’t win it anyway.” Grace laughed. “Well, I intend to try, anyway; ‘Get all you can’ is my motto.” In another part of the school quite another discussion was going on. “Are you going to try for the prize, Jack?” asked Harold. “Oh heck! No, I’ve no time for that. You see, if I make the ball team I’m going to have to cram to pass the Latin examination.” By all means make the team, Jack,” smiled Harold. “But I believe I’ll try; you see, Dad is on the board, and that will make the old Jane think twice before she decides.” Apart from the rest sat a boy deep in thought. “If I only could, it sure would help a lot. I could get just that much farther along on what I’ve saved.” Just then one of the other boys spied him. “Why don’t you try, Chuck?” and a burst of laughter came from the rest. The serious one replied, “Well, I think I will.” The days slipped by into weeks, with parties, ball games, dances and tests taking up the time. Some of the boys and girls almost forgot about the prize; some dashed off in a few moments what they considered masterpieces; others were trying to do their utmost, with no great success. Grace was so very busy going to dances and parties it was hard for her to think up anything quite flowery enough. Jack was still striving to hold his place on the ball team and Harold, so sure of himself, thought there was no need to worry, just any time would do. Chuck was a busy boy, working behind the fountain in the leading drug store after school hours, striving to please the particular tastes of his classmates. He helped, also, to care for his small brother and widowed mother. This left him very little time for pleasures. The great day was drawing near, with the class prom, the banquet and all of the last of the year festivities on hand. Each was active in his or her own way. Again the assembly was a room of excitement. The judges were arriving. Parents and friends were assembled to hear the great decision. To some it meant so much; to others, so little. The papers had all been handed in and were being judged. Some had been read aloud to the assembly. Among those read aloud was Harold’s, who, in his high-hat bravado, said in a stage whisper, “Hey, Jack, what did I tell you?” Grace, in her bright, pretty way, was doing her best to attract the attention of the youngest judge, the younger member of a new law firm. After much discussion the elder judge arose, cleared his throat, and spoke thus: “After much thinking and discussion, we have chosen what we consider the best paper of all, and ask that its writer tell something of its origin. We take pleasure in presenting to Charles Wilson the Scholarship to Madison College.” For a moment silence reigned, then the classmates of the astonished Chuck broke forth into cheers, during which Chuck arose and exclaimed, “Honorable judges, classmates, and friends, I thank you. I have very little to say, other than that Experience is the best teacher, however bitter.” -59- A.C.H.S. IllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! 19 2 9 ATALANTA illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll MY TRIP TO THE MOON JULIA REINMILLER (Winner of Freshman Short Story Contest) One day I was sitting under a tree reading a book. It was very hot and about the middle of July. Suddenly I heard a funny noise. I looked up and saw a tiny airplane, it was about six feet long, flying overhead. When it landed a little old man jumped out. He was about two feet tall and had a very long beard that was snow-white. He said “Hello, how would you like to take a ride?” It took me awhile to answer, because I was so startled. But finally I said, “I would like to very much.” He opened the door and there was a seat. He then said, “Come on. Hop in!” I got in and then we began rising. We went up and up and up. Pretty soon I saw a speck in the sky. It became bigger and bigger as we flew nearer. And then —lo and behold!—if it wasn’t the moon! The engine began to sputter, so we had to land. The ground was very hilly and rocky. He told me to go exploring and that he would come back for me in about an hour. Well I started out. The first thing I saw was the man in the moon. He was a very funny looking man. He had a large head and a very small body. His head was so large that he had to have props to hold it up; if lie didn’t have them he would be top heavy and would fall over. He had a big lantern which he lighted every night, then he would stand in front of it, and that is the way we see his face. He has a voice that is very loud and can be heard a long ways. After I had talked to him for awhile I began to get hungry. I thought I would go and try to find something to eat. The man in the moon told me the way to an inn. I finally found the place and went in. Inside there was a long table, and seated around the table were many people. These people were different from any I had ever seen. Their heads were big. like the man in the moon, but not quite as big as his. They had very small bodies and very big feet. They asked me to sit down and eat, so I did. They had nectar and ambrosia. It was the first time I had ever tasted it, so it tasted sort of queer to me. After I had eaten I thanked them and told them I had to go and hunt for the old man that had brought me. I went out and heard a noise but didn’t think anything of it because everything else was so queer. Just then the man in the moon lit his lantern and it became very light. The noise that I heard kept getting louder and louder until I was frightened and began to run. I looked back to see what is was—and stepped off into space! I fell for what seemed a long time. When I awakened I was lying on the floor beside my bed. So I had not been to the moon, but was dreaming all the time ! - 60 - ....................................................................... mini.................iimmiiiiiiiiiniiim....mm ............................................................................................................................

Grandmother in her crinolines was in the vanguard of fashion. Of course she was satisfied with her coal stove for cooking. Today, grandmother’s costume would be distinctly out of place. Constant improvement in women’s dress has brought emancipation from tight-fitting and heavy dresses. Cooking methods have also advanced. The electric range, with its modern advantages, today serves hundreds of thousands of housewives. It represents real cooking progress. You, the modern woman, would never think of going out in the costume of your grandmother’s day. Are you as up-to-date in the kitchen as on the street ? The answer is, COOK BY WIRE.
