ATALANTA 1933 djimior (Class History On a fine September morning in 1930, thirty-five Freshmen wandered aimlessly lip the walks leading to the old brick building, now so familiar to us, to start their high school career. In our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Lyle Paulsen, president; Weldon Frantz, vice-president, and Kenyon Bevan, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Hieronymous, class advisor. Despite the great number of toilsome weeks we ended the year with the usual hilarity. Next came the Sophomore year and along with it the following officers: Weldon Frantz, president; Jack Freeston, vice-president, and Kenyon Bevan, secretary-treasurer, with Mr. Price as class advisor. The year proceeded despite trials and tribulations, however, our work was a fraction of a degree harder and we bravelv battled on. Here we are again for the Junior year. It is sad to relate that we have lost so many members. Our grief was somewhat modified by the appearance of some new members. The officers this year are, Winton Hoose, president; Helen Adams, vice president, and Lawrence Howe, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Langston was elected to Ik our guide. The year is progressing and we are anxious for the class of ’34 to be able to prove again the brilliancy of its members. Throughout our entire career we have been the backbone of the school. In fact, our class has contributed ninety per cent of the star athletes, and outstanding talent in music and literary contests. It we get several more students next vear we will be sure to shine. —Bernadi ne Thompson. Seated: Zollars. Watt. Htibncr, Miller. Thompson. II rad way, Franklin, Younkers.

ATALANTA 1933 ■ nplununri' (Class Histuru We, the class of ’35, now distinguished and highly renowned from our previous remarkable and extraordinary work in A. C. H. S., are sufficiently ready to carry on even further our outstanding and magnificent work. In the year of our Lord 1931, we entered the portals of our eminent and famous high school for the first time amid the cheers of our upper classmen. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Kush we did thereby nominate and elect the following officers: President, Albert Hieronymous; vice-president. Naomi McCombs; secretary, Emily Jean Crihfield; treasurer, Robert Judy. Well represented in athletics, glee clubs, and other school activities, we exceeded by far the efforts of our honorable but inferior class of ’34. Leaving our initials forever imbedded on the desks that later classes might remember us, we terminated our rare success by journeying to Miller Park, climaxing the year in due form. Refreshed greatly by the summer vacation we came back with renewed fervor, prepared to undertake the task before us. With teachers and students gazing upon us with awe we swept on with determination. Choosing Mr. Riley as advisor; Marvin Hamilton as president, and Thomas Tuttle as secretary-treasurer, we carried forward, expanding our knowledge daily. It was clearly evident at the end of the first six weeks that we were surpassing all previous records. Our ranks were made even more stable by the arrival of Lynn McClure. It was not without our help that the baseball and basketball teams were successful. The glee clubs would not have prospered had they not have been enchanted by our melodious voices. We added greatly to the success of the band and orchestra and also to literary achievements. The cheering sections would have been listless and dead had not our booming voices inspired them to cheer the team forward to victory. We cooperated with our teachers at all times and defended and assisted the Freshmen, groping blindly for light. W e are now therefore prepared to undertake our third year and feel sure that we will l e even more successful than ever before. —Albert Hieronymous, 35. Standing: Mouser, Spencer, Rein miller.
