JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1929, the Freshies of the class of “1933” wandered into the Assembly befuddled and bewildered, not comprehending the meaning of the huge portals of old A. C. H. S. However, they soon settled down and began studiously preparing themselves for the honor of being the best class that ever graduated (or ever will graduate, for that matter) from Atlanta High School. The Freshmen really outdid themselves that year; they ranked first in scholastic standing and gave a party that was a huge success. The next year when we came back to school, having lost a few classmates and gaining some new ones, we knew a little more what it was all about. Looking over the Freshmen, we sympathized with them knowingly at their green and unaccustomed manner of giggling and other childish habits that Freshmen always have. During this year we settled down and began to enjoy high school life and act more like high school people should. Now that we are Juniors, we feel that we are really getting up in the world, as we have a right to be, for our class has been a grand success, and all the following classes should model after this grand collection of students. We gave a banquet this year which even the proud and haughty Seniors confessed was better than they ever expected could be staged. Next year we will be Seniors, capable of upholding the fine record of A. C. H. S. Page 12 P.

Second Row—Hoose, Fulk, Adams, Wilcoxson, Hubner, Yonkers, Mason, Scroggins, Parsons, Frantz, Hubner. Third Row—Johnson, Paulsen, Bevan, Howe, Adams, Freeston, Kirby, Baker. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY When the highly-cultured class of Freshmen came into view in the fall of 1930, the upper classmen (although they would not admit it) noticed they had very little difficulty in getting into the right places. After several days they assembled for class meeting and elected Lyle Paulsen as president, Weldon Frantz, vice-president, Kenyon Bevan, secretary anil treasurer, and Miss Hieronymus, class adviser. During the whole year the faculty was astonished by the mental ability shown by this unusual group. When this illustrious class again came together in the fall of ’31, they elected Weldon Frantz, president, Jack Freeston, vice-president, Kenyon Bevan, secretary and treasurer and Mr. Price, class adviser, who was highly honored to be an adviser of such a class. They kept up the impression they had made as Freshmen and have thus far been a noble success. One last word, facts. Let me tell you this isn’t bragging, merely simple H. A., ’34.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of ’35, industrious and highly talented, entered High School already distinguished and highly renowned by our illustrious and unusual work in Junior High. We assembled for our first meeting and under the direction of Mr. Rush elected the following officers: Albert Hieronymus, president; Naomi McCombs, vice-president; Emily Jean Crihfield, secretary, and Bob Judy, treasurer. In due time we settled down to the usual routine and accomplished much. Striving for higher honors than even our lordly Seniors are entitled to, we feel sure of reaching our goal. A. H., ’32.

Great progress has since been under way. The enrollment for each of the classes is as follows: In typing class there were 11 students; in shorthand class there were 6 students; in bookkeeping class there were 19 students; and in commercial law there were 4 students.

ATLANTA PRIVATE SCHOOL The fall of 1931 saw the Atlanta Private School making its debut into high school circles. This is the fifth year that this school has been in existence. The personnel consisted of Dorothy Miller and Marlin Baker, students and Mr. Verne L. Riley, instructor. The curriculum resembled very closely that of the Atlanta Community High School. It consisted of English, algebra, geography, civics, general science and current events. The students were quite active in extra-curricular activities. Marlin placed second in the Logan County Vocal Contest, with Dorothy as accompanist. First prize in the Freshman Short Story Contest was also awarded to Marlin. An active part was taken in band and glee club work. D. A. M.

The Girls’ Glee Club came home with colors flying. Received second place and better than that, we beat Mt. Pulaski. Hot Dorg! HARMONY The 1931-32 Harmony class has been making decided progress during the year and due to the exceptionally bright students and capable teacher, Miss Knowles, have become very proficient in the art of harmonizing melodies. Through the efforts of the boys of the class some rousing good times were had. J. M. M., ’32. Page 19 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 ORCHESTRA First Row (left to right)—King, Mountjoy, Mason, Thompson, J.

Church Wednesday evening, April 20. The dining room was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The setting was a circus tent, the top and sides being buff crepe paper attached to a wire at the bottom for uniformity. The pillars were wrapped in the high school colors—red and white. Attached to each fork was the string from a balloon and the colors made it a gala sight. In the center of the guests table was a space about 14x24 inches, and a white and red elephant with other circus animals were distributed promiscuously. The center light was decorated With small colored crepe streamers. The whole effect was a pretty and pleasing sight, and should have been satisfactory to everyone. The banquet was prepared by the mothers of the Juniors and it pleased the banqueters in every way. The menu was as follows, and was served by six Sophomore girls gaudily dressed as clowns: The menu was as follows: Upset Fruit Stand, Chicken Hot Tamales, In and Out the Tent, The Clown’s “Lines,” Trapezer’s Trappings, The Spon-dulics Spin, Spicy Spangles, Between the Acts, The Grand Three-ring Finale with an Aerial Specialty, Elephant’s Delight and Black Java.

Gus is traveling with two friends, Berkeley (Berk) and Charles. A handsome young opera star, “Carlita” has induced Berk to help her smuggle a Chinaman into the United States in a trunk. Gus receives his father’s peremptory order to find Mary Jane at Mrs. Wentworth’s boarding house and marry her. The three friends find there is a Mary Jane in the house, known however as Marie Varney, a young widow. The boys are hard up. They fix up a plan to have Berk get engaged to Marie under Gus’s name, hoping she will break the engagement when she finds the deception. But through Pauline, Mrs. Wentworth’s niece, Marie discovers the scheme, and to punish the boys becomes engaged to all three of them. Then the trunk supposed to contain the Chinaman arrives. The boys are afraid of the police. A real Chinaman, “Carlita’s” jealous husband, and a smallpox scare add other complications. Berk and Gus have really fallen in love, but the girls won’t look at them. Gus’s father arrives to find things badly mixed. But it turns out that “Carlita” is the real Mary Jane, that there was no smuggled Chinaman and no smallpox, and the boys are forgiven and happy. “CROOKS FOR A MONTH” (The Junior Class Play) CAST Mr. Fordick—the salesman.

We have gathered here this evening for the last time. It is an evening for which we have all greatly hoped but which we also greatly regret, especially to leave our many happy memories and many friendships made in old A C. H. S. We feel this is a great epoch in our lives and wish to thank those who have made this evening possible. When graduating from our first eight years of schooling we felt that we had accomplished a great deal, but tonight we feel that it was only a small way along this great highway of life. Our schooling has been profitable in preparing us to be the future men and women of the business world, and we want to express our appreciation to the school board and the teachers who through our school years have helped us in many ways. Again I wish to extend our hearty welcome to you and hope the events of the evening will better show you our accomplishments. C. V. M. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Friends, Romans and Countrymen: Lend me your ears and I will relate to you the history of the most famous class that ever graduated from old A. C. H. S., namely the class of 1932. On September 2, 1928, a group of thirty-four explorers entered the unknown region of A. C. H. S. A sorry bunch of green Freshmen we were in this unknown region. To achieve success, as was our hope, we chose Julia Reinmiller as guide with Andy McKnight as her assistant and Roy Foote to control the finances of the party. Miss Bayless was chosen to supervise the expedition. During our expedition two parties were held, in one of Which the natives of the unknown region participated. The next year the twenty-three who had endured throughout the year again entered this unknown region to explore it rfiore thoroughly. On this expedition we chose Harold Riley as guide for the trip with Frank Hoblit as his assistant and Emmy Lou Hoblit for the financial director. We advanced into a deeper part of the forest than before and we were highly elated with our success. In September, 1930 the seventeen faithful members who had succeeded in withstanding the difficulties of the two previous years, again set forth on one of our most profitable expeditions. Dick Tuttle was the guide and was assisted by Dorothy Carlock, the secretary-treasurer. This was a profitable year and we gained much from our faithful supervisor, Miss Love. Last but not least, comes the year of our greatest expedition. In September 1931, we began our last year of the expedition, to which we had looked forward with anticipation for three years. As guide we again chose Dick Tuttle, and Emmy Lou Hoblit as the secretary-treasurer. Mr. Hill was the manager of the last expedition and under his control we achieved success. We have now finished our explorations in A. C. H. S. and are planning to go into more remote places to explore. H. L. R. ’32. WILL WE SUCCEED? YOU BET. E. L. W. ’32. Page 2S 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 SENIOR CHARGE We, as members of the Senior class, would like to give you, the members of the Junior class a little friendly advice before you try to fill our worthy places. Of course we realize that your class as a whole is rather hopeless but maybe with a summer in which to practice some of these suggestions which we are going to offer, you will have a fair graduating class next year. We will start in on Madelyn Curtis your president—we know, Made-lyn. that you have had a pretty hard task at guiding your class. But really you are too quiet—a little more pep, please. Next is Philip Crihfield who certainly does rate. We know that he can’t possibly go wrong as he has one of our best Seniors to guide him. We think it would be a good idea, Loretta King, for you to keep your glances nearer home. Really there are some very nice boys in Atlanta. Do try to appreciate them more. Samuel Turner, why do you have to be so bashful? Nobody intends to do you harm. Why not take pity on some girl who looks at you with adoring eyes, and give her a break. To you, Buell Cluck, we can’t offer a criticism too severe as you are the only athlete in the Junior class. But just follow in the footsteps of your brother, one of our worthy Seniors. Now, Josephine Beverly, can’t you agree with somebody once in a while? Don’t hold yourself so aloof. We are all human mortals on this earth, after all. Next we come to Edna Mae Brandt. Edna, you will have to become more dignified before next year, and please don’t spend so much of your time talking to the boys. Ethel Lancaster, you are entirely too quiet. Why not copy after some one in the Senior class and be more “peppy.” We know the country boys are nice, but don’t think of them all of the time. Now Merlin Adams is a good student, but Merlin, you study entirely too much. You know there are two sides to life, and you must develop your social standing more. Dear Marjorie, please look around a little while longer before you make your choice. There are a lot of nice boys in the country. As for you, Earl Hayter, we recommend a brunette for a change. It is quite apparent that blondes have gone to your head. Next is Dorothea Loercher. Dorothea, your choice of a Gardener is all right, but do you really think it would make a good life profession? We recommend for you, James Odom, a little nicotine. Are you never going to learn to smoke? Why not consult your classmates and friends for the best brand to use. We know they would help you. We realize, Juniors, that your most difficult problem is Mildred Cod-dington, with her boystruck mannerisms. We recommend, Mildred, that vou find some cure for this ailment before undertaking the duties of a Senior. Now we come to Joseph Mountjoy. Joe why not turn your thoughts to the younger generation and quit robbing the old ladies’ home. Next comes a chubby Junior, Susie Irish. We know, Susie, that your great ambition is to become a nurse, but do you think it would be quite successful, taking into consideration your poor cooking ability ? And Omar Blankenship, are you really going to take up the Rexall Page 29 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 business as a life profession? If so, you must take your studies a little more seriously, as we are very much in doubt otherwise, if you will be a success. Susie Deavers, you are so quiet and good in school that the teachers hardly know you’re there. Wake up and let the teachers earn their money and give the fellow students a thrill. Last but not least is Lyman Rogers. Juniors, we recommend that you give him the honor of being your president next year, as he was once a member of our class. We feel that he could handle the job remarkably well. Now Class—as a whole, do follow these instructions closely and by the time that your graduation comes we feel that your success will be made. B. M. C. M. JUNIOR RESPONSE Most Honorable Seniors of the Class of '32: In behalf of the Junior class I wish to thank you for the kind advice you have so generously given us. Now, perhaps we can give you some suggestions that will help you win fame in this world. Pardon me, while I laugh. Your president, Dick Tuttle, is well known for his cute little jokes around the Assembly, but Dick, please don’t forget your ability to make people laugh, and be foolish enough to become an undertaker. Carolyn has mounted so high in her school days if she keeps trying she may attain records higher than any of us. We will admit you Seniors should boast of your athletes, Bob, Art, and Buss, who always did their share in bringing home successes during the basketball season. Please, Emmy Lou, try to learn not to kick keys off people’s cars, and to get along without calling your grandma! Berdell, why don’t you and Art stick together? What good will you do each other running around in alleys on dark nights? One number of your Senior class is really studious. Edna Ludlam. you are my idea of what a Senior really should be. Jimmy, pi ase try to act dignified. We know you’re only sixteen, but don’t forget you’re a member of the Senior class and should set an example for us Juniors. Julia, you can’t ever hope to take on any weight until you stop rushing “Firpo.” We consider it a great honor that Clarence should come to A. C. H. S. to graduate, and Philip, you’re much too quiet. Why don’t you take Joe Mountjoy as an example of what you should be? If Lucile had a little of Bernice’s sex appeal, we could predict a very successful future for them. And now our parting words to you. dear class of ’32. First let us thank you again for the words of advice you have so kindly given us. We wish you all good fortune in the years to come, and hope that some day you will appreciate the sterling qualities possessed by the class with which you passed three eventful years in dear old A. C. H. S. To the class of ’32 we, the class of ’33, say good-bye. M. C., ’33. • Page 30 ............................. 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 CLASS POEM Our high school days are over But just before wc go— I’ll tell you of each classmate, And talents that they show. Dick Tuttle is the president Of this illustrious class; And in scholastic honors All others does surpass. We know that Carolyn will be A dancer of great renown Her name in electric lights you’ll see, Far from the old home town. Harold Riley as an athlete In the next Olympics will shine His curly locks attract girls by flocks We’ve noticed from time to time! Coonsey will be a soldier boy And shoot a great big rifle; Although the girls about him rave With none does he e’er trifle. Naught but to be a farmer’s wife Will suit our own Lucile. Far from the city’s care and strife Is the place where at home she’ll feel. The “Platinum Blonde” is our friend Berdell; How he keeps the color, he’ll never tell. He has a pleasant smile for all he meets, And a cheery word for all he greets. Jimmy, with a brain like yours, An inventor’s life you’ll pass; You got your start on those marvelous things That you made in history class. Bernice will ti'avcl far, And in foreign countries roam. She’ll probably marry a handsome czar And live far away from home. Art. we can always depend on you, Whenever we’re sad; whenever we’re blue; Your kindness to those who are in need, Would be a good plan for us all to heed. Page 31 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 Edna wants to be a nurse; What a good position ’twould be; For many dollars will fill her purse, And then the world she will see. Clarence Cluck, known as C2 For the name of “Mary” has always cared; All typing honors he did take, Just for his little sweetheart’s sake! Bob Miller is a basketball shark, Although in all sports he’s good; His weakness for brunettes in Lincoln, Has not very well been withstood. Last—but not least—are the two high school pests, The blame for all the mischief done, upon these two rests If you don’t like our poem, just go on and blame us; We won’t mind a bit—nor make any fuss.

Secondly: To the Juniors we grant all the dignity and other trimmings that are the properties of Seniors. Also, our toil-worn, carefully perused books, and our exquisitely carved desks, including the last year’s chewing gum attached thereto. Thirdly: To the members of the Junior class individually, we leave: Emmy Lou Hoblit’s ability to repose on a tack with perfect comfort, composure, equanimity, nonchalance and impunity to Susie Irish and Loretta King. However, Emmy thinks she’s the only person that is capable of this feat—so do we all, so do we all! James Miller’s chronic grin to Sam Turner; his scientific inclinations to Merlin Adams. We hope that you boys will prize these gifts highly. Julia Reinmiller’s complete stock and supply of lipstick, rouge, and all that sort of thing, to Dorothea Loercher; her vivacious temperament to Marjorie Carlock. Caroline Mountjoy’s success at playing the violin (otherwise known as fiddle) to Ethel Lancaster; her typing speed to Madeline Curtis.

Phillip Coon’s accomplishments as a humorist to Omar Blankenship, and as a soldier, to Earl Hayter. Bernice Amberg’s custom, or habit, of arriving at school late, to Josephine Beverly—we had to leave Joe something; her alluring smile to Mildred Coddington. Lucile Williams’ quiet, studious habits to Edna Mae Brandt. We hope Edna will take good care of them. Dick Tuttle’s typewriter to whomever can find it; his seat in the Freshman Civics class to James Odom—and it’s a darn good seat, too (Pardon the French). Harold Riley’s fund of general knowledge to Phillip Crihfield; his rather erratic and irregular habits in connection with school attendance to Lyman Rogers. Edna Ludlam’s loud, boisterous manners to Susie Deavers. Oh, Gee Whiz, girruls! Art Miller’s colossal stature to anyone who thinks he’s big enough; Arthur also leaves his ambition to be of some use to his papa when he grows up, to all the Junior boys in particular.

D. T. CLASS SONG Oli the ha� py h urs rf our High School days. Will soon be just a memory. Hut this memory bright will never fade. Wherever our homes may he. Tonight we will sing this fond farewell. To our hooks, our lessons and fun. To teachers, too. we must say “Good-bye,” They’re friends, and we love every one. CHORUS: Our High School days are the brightest days Of all the days we know. The pranks we’ve played and the friends we've made. All helped our minds to grow. Our typewriters clicked, but the reading for points Was enough to have made us sigh. Hut we’ve loved the d ,-s of the'c four busy years. Our years in Atlanta High. Every song we've sung we will sing again. As we dream ot days gone by. It may be with a smile for happy days. Enr difficult ones a sigh. The pattern that’s woven of light and shade. Is the pattern that brightens the eye. The work so well done, the jolly good fun. Bright days spent in our dear old High! VALEDICTORY Parents, Friends, Faculty and Members of the Board of Education: For four years we have been receiving the benefits of a high school education which lias been made possible by your willing cooperation. We have now arrived at the termination of our high school career. It is impossible for us yet to fully realize the value of this education, and the sacrifice you have made to make it possible, but we are beginning to do so. We have begun to realize our advantage over those who were unable to attend high school, and to form some estimate of the great gift you have given us. We who are graduating tonight have arrived at an important milestone in our journey of life. We are at the outset of a new phase of the journey. Beyond the borders of our High school days lie problems hitherto unknown. We shall begin in a few years to take an active part in the affairs of our community, and we know that our high school education will be invaluable to us in meeting these new problems and conditions. I therefore wish, as a representative of my classmates, to express to you, my friends, our gratitude and appreciation for the great service vou have performed for us. The great debt that we owe to you who have made our high school education possible, we can never fully repay. The greatest return that we can make is to take every advantage of our ducation that will enable us to become good and useful citizens. Fellow Classmates, as we may never be assembled again as a class, I wish to take this opportunity to say good-bye to the class of 1932. I am sure that in the future, however widely we may be separated, we will often look back on the days we spent together as a class, and count our four years of high school among the happiest years of our life.

BASEBALL For the second straight year the wearers of the cardinal and white were crowned Logan county baseball champions. However, as in the previous year, the championship was shared with another county high school. Beason finished the season with a record of having won one and lost one, the same as Atlanta, and each school was awarded a championship trophy. Just as in 1930, when Hartsburg and Atlanta tied for the championship, and Atlanta scored a 9-4 victory over the co-champions, so in 1930, although Atlanta and Beason tied in the percentage column Atlanta scored a thrilling 5-4 victory over Beason. In the county league Atlanta played 6 games, losing one, tieing one, and winning four. After losing the opening game of the season to Elkhart by a 7-3 score, the locals displayed their courage and fighting hearts by refusing to lose another engagement and, fighting an uphill battle all the way, emerged with flying colors to be rightly honored as champions. In the second game Atlanta defeated the green Mt. Pulaski boys by an overwhelming score of 19-3. Then Latham was beaten 7-0, Hartsburg tied 5-5, Beason defeated 5-4, and finally Hartsburg was beaten 8-2 in the closing game of the season. Summary K. H. E.

Atlanta emerged victorious by a score of 8-2. The Atlanta boys launched a blistering attack on Meyer, Hartsburg pitcher, in the first inning which netted four runs and practically decided the game. After Meyer had forced Riley and Kirby to ground out, Bevan lined a single to center, Hubner doubled to left, Bob Miller walked and Art Miller came up with the bases loaded and two out. Meyer slipped two fast strikes at Miller and was on the verge of pitching himself out of a dangerous situation, but he put one over the plate to Miller’s liking and Art crashed it into a corn field between right and center for a homer. Meyer then held the Atlanta boys in check until the sixth when a walk, an error, a batter hit by a pitched ball and three singles accounted for four more Atlanta tallies. Freeston pitched a brilliant game for Atlanta, not allowing a hit until the sixth when Meyer singled to center. No score resulted as Freeston struck out Alberts for the third out. Hartsburg scored their first run in the second on three successive errors by Kirby and Paulsen, and their second run in the seventh when C. Schleder singled, stole second, went to third on an infield out by Klockenga, and scored on an infield out by Morgan. Kendrick then singled but was out stealing second. Freeston struck out six and walked two. Meyer struck out four, walked four and hit Paulsen with a pitched ball. Harold Quisenberry and Bill Dunham were the umpires and they handled the game in fine shape, not a complaint being registered by either team. Batting Averages H.

CROSS COUNTRY Above is pictured the Atlanta Community High School First Cross Country team. The team enjoyed a very successful season, not having a defeat to mar their record. On October tenth Atlanta engaged University High of Normal in a dual meet at Normal. Atlanta won the first six places, all of the local entrants finishing ahead of the U. high runners. Clarence and Buel Cluck tied for first, R. Miller was third, Frend Baker was fourth, Loren Leach was fifth, and Chester Deemer was sixth. Atlanta won the meet by a score of 10-26. The time for the 2.1 miles was 11 minutes and 47 seconds. On October 16th Atlanta journeyed to Saunemin to take part in the mvitational meet sponsored by Saunemin. Atlanta was victorious, scoring 10 points, closely followed by Pontiac with 18 points. Clarence Cluck finished first, Buell Cluck was third, Robert Riller was fourteenth, Frend Baker was fifteenth, Chester Deemer was eighteenth, and Loren Leach was twenty-first in a field of sixty entrants. The home boys brought home a nice collection of gold medals to repay them for their labors. On October 23rd University high came to Atlanta for a return meet and Atlanta was the victor by f score of 18 to 37. Buell and Clarence Cluck tied for first, in 11 minutes and 18 seconds, very good time for the sporty Atlanta course. On October 29 Atlanta journeyed to Lincoln for an informal dual meet with Lincoln. The result was a tie, each team scoring 18 points. Buell Cluck and Clarence Cluck tied for first. The following boys were awarded letters in cross country: Clarence Cluck, Buell Cluck, Robert Miller, Frend Baker and Chester Deemer.

MILLER FREESTON PAULSEN The first basketball game of the season was November 27, with Minier. The team was composed of two lettermen, Riley and R. Miller, and the members of the undefeated second team of the preceding year. This game was lost 16-23. The next game which was with Beason at Beason was a thriller, Beason winning by one point. The boys showed great improvement over the form shown in the first game, due to the able coaching of Mr. Price. One of the best defensive games of the season was played with U. High at Normal. Atlanta took the lead and kept it after the first few minutes of play. This game was featured by the splendid defensive work of Riley, R. Miller and Freeston. During Christmas vacation Peoria Manual invaded Murphy Hall to be held to a 19 to 15 score. Atlanta played one of the finest games of zone defense ever seen here. The game was attended by a large crowd which was thrilled to know that their team could hold the highly praised Peoria team to such a close score. It was during the El Paso game that Riley and Bevans, crack shots of the Atlanta team, found their scoring eyes and piled up a score of 32 to 12 to defeat their opponents. The peak ol the Atlanta basketball season came in the game with Mt. Pulaski at New Holland in the Logan County Basketball Tournament. Both teams played a slow-break zone defense game. The Hill-toppers were far in the lead at the end of the first half, but in the second half the Atlanta boys pulled within two points of them. This was the outstanding game of the tournament and it was considered quite a feat for the Atlanta boys to hold Mt. Pulaski to such a close score. The coach and team were hindered throughout the season by injuries to players, Freeston and A. Miller being out of the game most of the season.

Cluck and Riley were outstanding, each winning three medals, two firsts and a second. Freeston broke the record for the shot put, heaving it 48 ft. 10inches. ATLANTA RELAY CARNIVAL The second annual Atlanta Relay Carnival was held at the Athletic field on April 30, 1932. The weather was perfect, the field in excellent condition and the meet as a success in every way. Over 650 athletes representing 44 schools participated. The relays were divided ino three classes according to the size of the school; and the special events into two groups. In Class A relays Pekin and Pontiac tied for first; in Class B, Fair-bury was first with Monticello second; and in Class C, Atlanta was first with Forrest second. In Group I of the special events, Fairbury was outstanding with 42 points, and Streator second; in Group II, Atlanta was first with 3G points and Forrest second with 24 points. Atlanta made an excellent showing, winning two cups, one in the relays and the other in the special events. Atlanta was first in the high hurdle relays with a team composed of Cluck, A. Miller, Paulsen and Rogers. A. Miller won a first in the 120 yd. high hurdles; Freeston a first in shot put and discus. Cluck, Riley, R. Miller and Freeston won seconds in the high hurdles, low hurdles, 440-yd. dash and javelin, respectively. The Freshmen won second in the Freshman two-mile relay and the half-mile team tied for third. Page 42 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 Page 43 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 LIFE’S PATHOS By Emmy Lou Hoblit (Winner of Senior Short Story Contest) There was not a sound to be heard in the spacious bedroom except the deep breathing of the small form on the bed and the rustle of crisp linen, as two nurses went about their duties. Marlene Bromme and her husband waited anxiously in the next room for the nurses’ report. At last the door opened and the nurse entered. “No change—temperature still 105” she said. “The doctor is coming again at noon.” With that she departed, leaving the two alone again. “Pierre!” cried Marlene, “What can we do?” “Now, mj dear, you know we’ve had every specialist in New York, so what more could we do?” “Oh, I don’t know,” she sobbed. “It just seems so horrible to think that our Babs is in so great danger.” Babs, otherwise Barbara was the four-year-old adopted daughter of the Bromme’s, both singers in the Metropolitan Opera. Although she was adopted, she meant more to them (or at least as much) as if she had been their own child. She was an exquisite child, with long golden curls and azure blue eyes. Though her parents were extremely wealthy, she was as unspoiled as a child could be. Marlene’s cherished hope was that she and Pierre would live until their adored child made her debut in the same Opera they had achieved their fame. But one morning little Babs did not want to get up and romp with her pet dog as she usually did. She complained that she was still “a ’ittle bit s’eepy” so had been allowed to remain in bed. She slept until noon and when awakened had a high temperature. Immediately one of the best specialists in New Work was summoned. He could not determine the cause of the illness and called in several other specialists. None could discover what the strange malady was which had stricken little Babs. She gradually sank into a state of coma and had remained so for two days. The Brommes were almost beside themselves with anxiety. To make matters worse, tonight was the night Marlene was booked to sing. “I can’t, Pierre, I simply can’t,” she cried. “What if poor little Babs would want me?” “Babs will be alright, Marlene, just hope and pray for the best,” he said. That noon the doctor came. Again the Brommes waited for the report. Finaly he came to them. His face was very grave, almost stern. Deep lines were furrowed in his forehead as he spoke. “I expect the crisis any time now. We cannot tell which way it will turn, but we are doing our utmost to have it change for the better. In any case, whatever happens, be brave. I shall stay on now and await the outcome.” During the ensuing hours everyone’s nerves were keyed to the breaking point. No one was allowed in the room except the doctor, the others waiting in the adjoining room. At four o’clock the doctor entered with bowed head. “Oh!” screamed Marlene, “No—no—no!” The doctor gravely nodded his head. “Oh, it can’t be true, it can’t be! Let me go in there—please. The doctor made no effort to stop her as she ran from the room. Her heart-rettding sobs could be heard by the Page 44 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 others. Pierre’s face was like a mask. No sort of emotion was visible, and he moved like one in a dream—following after his wife. Her sobs had ceased and as she was kneeling pitifully by the bed, Pierre did likewise—his arm around her shoulders. They remained thus, wordless and motionless for minutes. Then Marlene raised her tear-stained face to Pierre. “Our life, our all is gone,” she whispered in a voice unlike her own. “What is there for us to live for now?” “Remember, dear,” he answered, “God always knows best. He gives us these trials and hardships to try and test us. Everyone has them—we not realizing it until it happens in our own home. We can only carry on and do our bit in this world by making life easier for those whom we can.” That evening Marlene was a changed woman. What had come over her no one knows but those who have experienced it. Her face bore a serene and passive expression and her eyes were dark and sad, yet a certain light shone in them which had hitherto not existed. “I shall sing tonight, Pierre,” she told him, “sing as I never have before. God has given me such a wonderful peace of mind. I am not Marlene Bromme —I’m someone else, merely filling this place in the world to help others until we meet—her—Beyond. Kiss me, Pierre. How thankful we should be that we have one another.” As Marlene had said, she did sing more beautifully than ever that night. Those in the audience were greatly impressed—and only those who knew what the great singer had passed through, knew why Marlene Bromme sang so beautifully. OUR SCHOOL Ethel Lancaster (Winner of Junior Short Story Contest) If you think our school the best, Tell ’em so! If you’d have it lead the rest, Help it grow. Up early in the morning and late at night, Help it grow. We’re at work; We’ll do our best to keep up the fight, And never shirk. Our colors which are red and white, Are very true; We’ll fight with all our might, And we’ll get through. When there’s anything to do Let others count on you ; You’ll feel good when it is through, Don’t you know. Page 45 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 Our team is the best in all the land, Is the tale; We always try to make a stand And seldom fail. Hurrah for our dear old A. H. S.! Is our cry, We are striving for a victory without rest We’ll always try. Come! let’s give nine Rahs for our team, And do not fail; Come let us tell you about our scheme, It is a tale. Let’s make all our fights a victory Instead of a sigh, It’s nothing pertaining to trickery, It’s just to try. If you’re used to giving knocks, Change your style; Throw bouquets instead of rocks For a while. Let’s be a booster to our school, Will you, friends? Make them go by our rules, Until the end. When a member from afar Comes along, Tell him who and what you are— Make it strong. Never flatter, nor never bluff, Tell the truth, for that’s enough; Be a booster—that’s the stuff, Don’t just belong. AN AMBITION REALIZED Helen Adams (Winner of Sophomore Short Story Contest) Old Jim was sixty-five years old and he had been searching and exploring for a gold mine ever since he was twenty-six. He had believed that Lady Providence would give him one before he died, so he had continued to search, not because he needed the money, but simply because he wished to possess a gold mine. Now his dreams and his perseverance were rewarded, just as he had known they would be for just this very day he found that his mine was all and more than he had ever dared to dream it would be. It would win him notoriety and a larger bank account. After he had satisfied himself as to the quality of the mine, he started to the city to draw from the bank the money he would need to buy the land. Old Jim had a wooden leg and was not able to travel as rapidly as Page 46 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 in his younger days, however, the city was only a short distance away. Presently he arrived at the city and secured the money. After taking out this amount, he had practically none left. After this he lingered about the town buying a few things here and there that he would need at his camp. In an hour or so he started for home. He walked along happily, dreaming of a mine that would be his. Many times Old Jim’s plans to get rich had been destroyed by his only enemy, Tom Reed. Tom was much younger and stronger than Old Jim and he had been his enemy ever since Old Jim had discovered and ruined his plans for robbing an old lady back in San Francisco. Tom was a coward and when things didn’t go his way he would run and get his revenge later. Old Jim thought of these things on his way home, but as strange as it may seem, they did not bother him. After some time, he arrived home, entered his shack and proceeded to deposit his parcels in their correct places. When he had put them all away, he took out his money to see that none of it had been lost. Having assured himself that it was all there, he started to leave when he happened to glance toward the window. There stood a man. Though old Jim had not seen Tom for seven years, he recognized him instantly. The question that now arose in Old Jim’s mind was—had Tom seen the money? He did not know. However, just before Tom entered, he slipped it inside his wooden leg—which was hollow. Old Jim’s one hope died when Tom demanded the money. Although he knew Tom would at last get it if fate did not prevent it, he determined to defend it as long as possible. Then followed a brief struggle. Tom, not knowing where the money was, was fighting merely to make Old Jim tell him. One of Tom’s ferocious blows landed in Old Jim’s eye which was extremely painful and caused him to lose the sight of that eye for a few minutes. In the meantime Tom hit him again which caused him to stagger and fall. In the fall Old Jim felt the strap on his wooden leg pulled loose and it came off. Then the two were struggling on the floor. Just as Old Jim felt his strength leaving him, liis hand came in contact with his wooden leg. Swiftly he raised it and brought it down heavily upon the head of Tom who instantly released his hold on Old Jim, vdho weakly rose to a setting position. Then he knew he must tie Tom before he returned to consciousness, so he did this. He hobbled across the room where he kept another wooden leg for emergencies. This adjusted, he proceeded to collect his money. After seeing that Tom was well tied, he started for the home of the man who owned the land he wanted. He soon arrived at the man’s home and quickly obtained a deed for the land. When he returned home, he found the ropes on the floor and Tom gone. Old Jim was glad of this for now that he had a deed for the mine, it was not in danger of being stolen and he had not wished to have Tom punished—for Old Jim was a very peaceful man. LOGAN COUNTY LITERARY CONTESTS The County Contest in Oration was held April 11. Dick Tuttle, our contestant, won third place. The County Contest in Extempore was held April 13. Joe Mount-joy, from Atlanta, secured third place. Page 47 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 LEW CHEE’S DESIRE Marlin Baker (Winner of Freshman Short Story Contest) Little Lew Chee sat looking thoughtfully over the high river bank. His small black eyes were gazing morosely into space, and his little chin rested in his cupped hands. He was very lonesome. True, he was not the only child in the family, for there were six others. He was the youngest, as his name signiifed, for “Lew Chee,” meant simply, “Number Seven.” They were very poor, this Chinese family. The mother was dead and their father was one of those poor Coolies who earned his living towing junks up the river through the terrible rapids. It was for this reason that little Lew Chee came every day and waited on the banks of the turbulent Yangtze for his father to appear around the bend, slaving with hundreds of others to draw the heavy boat up the river. He would trot along beside his father, keeping the laborers amused with his never ceasing chatter. He would follow his father into the great city of Chunking, and from there on to their small home up in the mountains. But today Lew Chee did not run to meet the boat when he heard its noisy approach. Instead he arose with a sigh, hauled his fish-line out of the water, concealed it in the bushes and trudged languidly down the steep slope to the river. His father greeted him with a nod, for he had no breath to waste with talk. Lew Chee fell in silently behind his father and began pulling on the ropes. The laborers noticed this silence and wondered, for they had come to look upon this little lad as a bit of sunshine in their dreary lives. When they reached the city, Lew Chee’s father purchased a small sack of rice, and they started homeward. Lew Chee took the package silently, for he well knew how tired his father was at the end of a day’s toil on the river. “My son, why are you so quiet tonight?” asked his father kindly. Lew Chee shrugged his small shoulders. “I don’t know, father,” he answered, “I—I’m lonesome, I guess.” His father looked at him keenly for a moment, and suddenly an understanding smile lighted his face, “Is it that Mission School you long for?” he asked. Lew Chee hung his head. “Yes, that is it.” Suddenly his head came up. “Father,” he said, “There was the finest man in Chungking today. He was from the Mission at Chengtu, and he had many pictures of the school and teachers.” His father smiled down at him. A little sadly perhaps. “I would ike to let you go, son,” he said, “but I have no money, I can not pay your fare to Chengtu.” Page 48 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 That night Lew Chee ate his little bowl of rice more silently than usual, and soon after supper he sought out his sleeping mat. The days passed and still Lew Chee could not forget the missionary. He was still in the city, but although Lew went daily to Chungking he never saw him. However Lew Chee was not a boy who gave vent to his feelings. He still went every day to the river, and to his many friends he seemed like his old self again, but dowp in his little heart there was a longing not to be denied. One afternoon in early August, Lew Chee was wending his way down a broad way just outside the city, when he suddenly caught the gleam of some bright object laying in the middle of the road. He darted out to get it but just as he stooped over to pick it up he heard a weird, squawking ninse. Lew Chee looked up and was filled with terror, for there charging down at him in unbelievable speed was what appeared to be a huge monster with large protruding eyes and a glittering mouth. Suddenly this vision disappeared and Lew Chee seemed to see millions of colored lights that were gone in a flash. Then, he knew no more. When Lew Chee awakened he seemed to be in another world. His vision was distorted at first, but it soon cleared and he could see that he was in a small room and a very lovely woman in white was bending over him. His whole right side seemed numb and when he tried to turn his head, pain shot through his neck. Two weeks Lew Chee lay in a bed with a broken shoulder blade and legs, but every day his “white angel” came to care for him. He learned that she was the missionary’s wife, and that he had been struck by their automobile. Lew Chee confided in his “white angel” of his secret desire, and that same night she held a consultation with her husband. Consequently, two weeks later found a very happy Chinese lad in the “monster,” as he called the machine, bound for the land of his dreams. Page 49 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 School Calendar September 2. School has came again. I guess it’s a good thing by the looks of this grammar. 3. Well, I see the Freshmen are just as usual. I did think they were going to be an unusual class and not get lost; but no, here they all get lost the second day. 7. Darn, and double darn! Having to go to school on Labor Day! Nerts! 11. First game of the season at Elkhart, our rivals, and to our bitter grief and disappointment, they won. 17. Miss Hie in American History class, “Now for tomorrow, outline the form of Virginia.’’ Jimmie pops up with “Virginia who?” 24. Ordered Class rings. October 1. Juniors have picked out play, “Crooks for a Month.” Doesn't sound so bad. 2. Tied with Hartsburg and will play it off next week. If we win we’ll be county champions. 9. Homecoming! Parade—baseball game; beat Beason—supper, and last but not least, a street dance. 19. Beat Hartsburg Saturday and also got our Senior class rings. Boy, are they ever classy! 22. Miss Hie, “What is at the end of each of Shakespeare’s scenes?” Brilliant answer, “Exit.” 29. State inspectors. 30. High School party at Murphy Hall. Too many counter attractions. November 4. Inter-class track meet tonight. And the wonderful Sophomore class won. 6. Junior Play was pulled off today. It was good, no kidding. 10. Began basketball practice. 13. Friday the thirteenth and it sure is unlucky. All the teachers are giving tests and six-week ones at that. 20. Got licked by Minier, by gum! However, we haven’t practiced much yet. Wait until next time. 18. Received our report cards. Such misery and such joy. To what depths and heights these report cards can raise or lower our spirits! 20. First game of the year played Minier—Got beat, but we haven’t practiced much. Just wait till next time. 23. Dick T. and Emmy Lou and Caroline got their pins for writing 30 words a minute. Not bed, eh? 25. Seniors who didn’t have class last period got out to have their pictures taken. Everybody was “looking pretty” and just dying to watch the birdie. 30. Miss Hie got rambunctious today and started to beat up on Jimmie. Kind of surprised Jimmie a little. Page 50 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 Caroline: “Pardon me, Bob, for walking on your feet.” Bob Miller: “Oh, don’t mention it. I walk on them myself, you know.” Miss Hie: “What do you mean by saying that Benedict Arnold was a janitor?” Jo Beverly “It says in the book that he spent the rest of his life in abasement.” Berdell Fulk: “Everything I say goes.” Clarence Cluck: “Well, come out and talk to my Ford.” Mr. Rush: “What would ample rainfall in the West produce?” Bill Speijper: “Mud puddles.” Mr. Larison: “Don’t you know what your mother sends you to me for?” Frances: “Yes, she wants me to learn to play worse than the boy next door.” Miss Hie (in Civics): What were the Scotch Presbyterians?” Bob Judy: “I don’t know, but they’re people that walk.” Bus Riley: “Art must have lost his hat again.” Emmy: “Why?” Bus: “Well, I can’t find mine.” Mr. Rush: “Give the definition of space.” Sonny Howe: “Well, I have it in my head but I can’t explain it.” Mr. Rush: “Correct; sit down.” Miss Hie: “When was the revival of learning?” Jimmy Miller: “Just before the examinations.” Page 51 1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 Brandt’s Truck Line Bloomington, Illinois December 1. Mr. Hill has decided that we aren’t quiet enough passing between classes, so if you aren’t quiet, it’s just your old ear. 14. Mr. Hill’s sick. Stayed at home today. Too bad. Miss Brown picked up a stray pup and decided to keep it as a mascot for the Commercial group. She tried to give it to Mr. Price but for some reason or other he didn’t want it. 21. Had a Glee Club party today. A good time was had by all. Played Bunco for awhile and then danced. Had confetti, Santa Claus came n-everything. 23. Whoops! the last day before vacation; it can’t go too fast for most of us. January 7, 8, 9. Mt. Puaski tournament. We always get the breaks and draw Mt. Pulaski. 28, 29, 30. County tournament. Got a tiny bit farther than in this one. 31. Had assembly singing this morning. Everyone was feeling good and they showed it. But the high spirits didn’t go over so big with the teachers, they seemed unusually low today. February 2. Ground-hog day. He didn’t see his shadow either. That means spring is six weeks early. 3. Girls’ Glee Club sang at the Baptist church this evening. Mr. Beyer from Normal gave a lecture about present topics of the day. 8. In American History today we had the phrase “Yellow Journalism.” Miss Hie asked several and they didn’t know what it was; finally Bob Miller raised his hand and said, “I don’t know what Yellow Journalism means but a yellow Journal is a three-legged bird.” 15. Book reports, Book Reports, Bookreports. Everyone is trying to wade through some book that counts 5 points, and the most industrious are reading books which count 10 points. 16. Watch out, Kids! Miss Brown on a tear and you know what that means: work, work, work and more work. 22. At last the long talked-of day has arrived, Washington’s birthday! The wonderful Senior class put on the program and what a program it was. Different characteristics of his life told by different individuals.

Jimmie Miller got regusted during a typing test today and then Miss Brown got regusted at Jimmie. As a result Jimmie is going to omit typing from his program. 8. Spring has went. Winter has came. It’s cold again. Everybody has their winter coats on. 9. Normal and Shirtleff colleges put on a debate for the High School today. 16. Two Royals stolen today.

It sure will be plenty busy after this. April 1. April Fool’s day. Had a program in Assembly today. Not so bad Not so bad. 4. Three cheers for our side! The Seniors won today in interclass track meet. 6. Preliminary contests in music and literary were held today. The contestants heaved a sigh of relief when they were over.

Everyone looking their best, church decorated cute, good cats, dance afterwards. What more could you wish for? 21. Picked our Senior play and sent for books. “Looking for Mary Jane” is its title. 29. Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day. That is what everyone has been saying. It’s the day before the carnival and just pouring. If it keeps this up the field will be one mell of a hess.

High School and College graduates constitute the large percentage of our student body. Each year quite a large number of young men and women come in to school after a few years’ business experience to prepare themselves for better paid positions. Our entrance requirements do not permit the enrollment of students who have not finished high school, but we do strongly advise the finishing of high school first. By far the large majority of those coming to our school are preparing to enter the business world; but each year we have numbers of students preparing for college and university and a professional career, who want a business course before entering upon such professional training. Students receive expert training in every phase of office work which will tend to bring them preferment in business. They realize that our plan of dvelopment greatly adds to their power to understand how business is done, and how to go about doing it. It is a pleasure for us to work with them, to know them intimately, and to have a part in speeding their progress to successful living.
