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 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 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. Signed: Emmy Lou and Julia.
