CLASS HISTORY On the second of September in the year 1928 our bunch of green Freshies, yet not as green as usual, entered A. C. H. S. As soon as we had our wits collected we had a class meeting and elected Julia Reinmiller, President; Andy McKnight, Vice-President; Roy Foote, Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Bayless as Class Adviser. We gave the High School a very clever Hallowe’en and later had a Bunco party just for our distinguished class and their favorite guests. The next year our brilliant class came back (all who were able) and soon after the beginning of the year elected Harold Riley, President; Frank Hoblit, Vice-President; Emma Louise Hoblit, Secretary and Treasurer. We are looking forward to our next two years in High School with much anticipation. Of course we’ll come out on top. J. R., ’32. Page 13 -

We, an unusual group of Freshmen, breezed into that dear old place called “Atlanta High” one bright September morn, just as though we had been doing it for years. The expectant teachers looked us over, saw some very good material, (pardon me, but it really is true), and looked away relieved. We soon found that we were regarded as an organization, and elected the following officers: Carrel Miller, president; Cleo Sullivan, vice-president; Alta Parsons, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Scheer, adviser. II. Another Autumn day, marred only by those terrible monsters, Plane Geometry and Caesar. Being an intelligent, and altogether ambitious class, we got right down to business and elected Sharon Hoose, president; Ina Brown, vice-president; Cleo Sullivan, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Butterfield, adviser. Being original, we were the first Sophomores in history to try to put the Freshies at ease instead of initiating them. This we did by having a party at the high school and letting each Freshie do some stunt before the student body and faculty. We had a grand time all year —sometimes almost too grand to suit the teachers, but it all ended successfully. m. We didn’t look nearly so grown up and dignified as we felt. In fact, several Seniors took the liberty and told us so. As we were well experienced in the way of high school we elected officers at the first possible moment. The officers were Ina Brown, president; Cleo Sullivan, vice-president; Carrel Miller, secretary-treasurer. We all suffered a nervous collapse and broken heart when the Seniors beat us by so small a score in the Inter-class Meet. We lived over it, however, and moved on to other honors. And now at the close of a happy year, we are all looking forward to that most wonderful year of our high-school career—“The Senior.” F. A. E., ’31. — Page 12 —
