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 SALUTATORY To the President and members of the board; to the superintendent and teachers of Atlanta Community High School; to our parents and friends, I feel honored to give a hearty welcome to the graduation exercises of the Class of 1932. 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 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 .............................
