Ixnpert JJricc. J fmttmsfrattmt Ifiutratuw Why education! Education is derived from the Latin word cduco which means “to train”. We can and do have all manner of education and training for various purposes and ends. It requires special education for each of the different professions and pursuits in life, but this kind of education usually follows after a general education has been secured. Although it is recognized that the body should he trained as well as the mind, education has consisted of the training of the latter for the most part. Public school education as given in the Atlanta High School has been rather limited and general in comparison with that of the larger high schools. The commercial courses constitute all of the vocational education which is being offered. It is strongly recommended by our accrediting authorities that we increase the number of vocational courses offered such as home economics and manual training which subjects were discontinued to make room for the commercial work. In education, there are aims more important than that of preparing for a greater ability to earn money. True education not only increases the difference between man and the lower animals but also lessens the difference between man and his Creator. In other words, man should become a higher sort of being because of education. Xatin Latin is one of the subjects which some are inclined to deny any place at all in the high school course of study. However, two years of Latin a r e offered on an elective basis in t h e Atlanta C o m m unit y High S c h o o 1. Some of the reasons for studying Latin are: 1. A better understand ing of English words, about one-half of which are derived from Latin. 2. A better understanding of English grammar. 3. It serves for the two years of language entrance credit often required by colleges and for certain courses in other colleges. Since Latin is one of the more difficult subjects, the poorer pupils are urged to pursue some of the other courses instead. Judging from the number of pupils enrolled in the Latin classes. Latin still seems to be a rather popular study. (The clumi History The study of history and other social sciences is important because knowledge of he past enables one to have a better understanding of the present. We study the past records of political, economic a n d social achievements, for upon them are built succeeding structures. Recurring business cycles, technologica 1 displacements, mal-production, increasing interdependence of nations and other problems of this decade call for an intensive study of our changing social order. Reorganization and adjustment must be effected. A study and interpretation of the cause and effect of former blunders should tend to avert future ones and thus create a more efficient type of citizenry. Snylislj A course in English may be subdivided into two parts: composition and rhetoric, and literature. The purpose of the former is three-fold. It leaches one to speak correctly, to write correctly, and to express himself adequately. Literature is the written productions of a country, especially those n o t a b 1 e for beauty or force of style. L i t e r a t u r e b ring s out certain fundamental r e 1 a -tions; the debt we owe to the past, the relations of human brotherhood. and the relations of man and Nature. The study of literature not only in- Vernc !' K,Icy’ A K troduces the student to the spiritual heritage stored up for him in books, but also tends to instill in him an appreciation of the things that are more worth while. iilatlmuatics Nearly 2.5(H) ve; mathematician and Rupert M. Price, B.S. the sun causing the lain mathematical la rs ago Plato, a Greek philosopher said, “God geomotrizes continually”. What he meant was that every activity in the universe is governed by mathematical principles and laws. The motions of the sun and stars, the rotation of the earth on its axis causing day and night, the revolution of the earth about seasons, all follow cer-ws. Great bridges, dams, skyscrapers, ships, and thousands of other works of man are built according to mathematical laws. Is it not well then that each of us should know a little of these things that we may better understand the events that take place about us? Science The question, “Why?” has probably been asked more times in the history of the world than any other. It is the favorite question of children, and as even the wisest of men are but children in knowledge, it has been the constant query of mankind since it was first uttered. The answers which men have found, the organized knowledge they have acquired by observation, experimentation a n d rca-soning, make up what we call the sciences. Science, as used today, refers o n 1 y to that part of the knowledge of the world that has to do with natural objects, and natural phenomena. In high school science we endeavor to teach each pupil the scientific method of seeking answers to the many problems which they will encounter in their future lives. John M. Rush.

IPiHub The person who plays a musical instrument benefits from a commercial and social standpoint, but one of the m o s t important things is the pleasure a n 1 satisfaction one receives from music as a recreation. Some of our most successful business and professional people eon-si d e r music their greatest pleasure. Among these are Einstein, the scientist; former Vice-president Dawes, former Sec retary of the Treasury Woodin, and many others. Pupils who have gone from here to larger schools have gained an enviable position because of their musical ability. Many have paid all or part of their expenses at college by playing in musical organizations. Dr. Willias A. Sutton, president of the National Education Association, lists music as the greatest fundamental of education. A. W. Lari son Music is an important subject in the curriculum of the high school as it contributes t o w a r d s health , worthy home membership, citizenship and worthy use of leisure time.

Selling is necessary for success today — selling things, selling ideas, selling one’s self! It takes an excellent salesman, a good talker, to market his product under the present economic conditions.

No one would have dreamed this was the Freshman class as we displayed none of ,the usual greenness. The upperclassmen soon recognized the fact that we were an unusually brilliant group and treated us with due respect. We had no trouble in organizing and soon elected the follow-ing officers: Mr. Rush, class advisor; Albert Hieron-y m u s . president; Naomi McCombs, vice-president; Emily Jean Crihfield, secretary; Bob Judy, treasurer. Much w a s accomplished this year and we were well represented in both glee clubs and all athletic activities. At the close of the year we had an enjoyable outing at Miller Park. In the fall of ’32, we entered upon our second year of high school with our fame and ability already recognized by everyone. This year we elected Mr. Riley as class advisor; Marvin Hamilton, president; and Tom Tuttle, secretary-treasurer. We set a fine example for the Freshmen, helping them at all times, and had it not been for our untiring efforts. I am sure many of them would have fallen by the way. We started the social activities of the year by sponsoring a party for the school which, of course, was a huge success. This year we again journeyed to Miller Park for the annual picnic. We again entered A. C. H. S. in the early part of September—this time as dignified Juniors. The officers elected for this year were Mr. Dagley, class advisor; Albert Hieronymus, president ; Dick Reinmiller, vice - presi-dent ; Lynn Mc-C 1 u r e , secretary-treasurer. Most of this year was spent in making money for the Junior-Senior banquet and we took in enough money from our play and various sales to stage a very good one. We know our class is famous. Just look at our athletes, declaimers, and chorusters. Had it not been for our representatives in these various organizations, A. C. H. S. could not have come out ahead in so many contests. Now at the end of another happy school year we look forward to the time when we will enter school as Seniors. E. J. C., ’35.

Amid the gaze of the haughty Sophomores, indignant Juniors, and learned Seniors, we scrambled for seats. The seats were soon occupied and we were Freshmen, Freshmen in the true sense of the word. However, we stayed one evening after school and elected the following officers: Harold Paulsen, president; Johnston King, sec-r e t a r y - t reasu re r; Mr. Price, class advisor. We were targets for all slams and were made subjects for all jokes. Many times our upperclassmen placed their hands on our heads and in sarcastic remarks said, “There is room at the top”. Although we had little opportunity to demonstrate our ability in the Freshman year, we took part in school activities, making notable records in all fields. Then to end a grand and glorious year, we, with our class advisor, journeyed to Miller’s Park for the class picnic. In the fall of 1933, we again entered upon the task of upholding the reputation we had attained during our Freshman year. This time we are Sophomores (meaning in Greek, “a wise fool”). However, although our class enrollment is unusually large, we surpass all others in quality as well as quantity. At the organization of the class, we elected the following officers : Johnston King, president; Mary Alice Thompson, v i c e-president; Hazel Fulk, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Rush was chosen as our guide. He proved to be a very capable advisor because through his helpful suggestions we secured f i r s t place on our float, “The Evolution of a Ford”, at the Homecoming. It was in geometry class that Mr. Price promised to demonstrate to us that a circle was a square but, unfortunately for us, and consequently a loss to the world, he forgot his promise. Thus ends the history of the Class of ’36 as Sophomores. Next year we shall endeavor to continue our good mark and be an exampV for the underclasses. M. A. T.. ’36.

We marched bashfully with chins up, feet sounding like a thundering herd, into the unfamiliar and honorable assembly to the monotonous uproar of constant booing. The upperclassmens’ theme song, it seemed, was “Yes. We Have Some Razzberries”, of which they intended to give us plenty. After m a n y weeks of watch ful-ness, blundering a n d embarrassing moments, we collected our scattered but not forgotten smart wits and elected Billy Thompson, small but brainy, president; Clara Duffield. vice-president ; Jeanne Knecht, secretary and treasurer; and Mr. Price, most sympathetic, class advisor. For a most novel and stupendous float in the Homecoming parade, we received second prize. The' lloat represented a crib, cradle, or what have you, decorated in green and white, full of babies. The babies were our own cute Freshmen, drinking from bottles, wearing small bonnets and shrieking with full lung power. What a picture for the judges! Sunlight streaming into our sticky little faces and those adorable bonnets perked upon our heads. Did we look angelic! We have indeed surpassed any class of the |iast or future. We are represented in basketball, baseball, track, girls’ glee club, boys’ glee club, public speaking, band, orchestra and ninth hour. The ninth hour honor was achieved only after days and days of imitating the upperclassmen a n d their “cunning little tricks”. We rate 100 per cent in chewing gum. fighting, arguing and booing the upperclassmen. We found out after much speculation. concentration and observation that the teachers respect studious and small-mouthed pupils but which they never get. If anyone wishes to boo the Freshman class, let him do it now or else remain silent forever! (so give us peace). J. K.. ’37.

Practice was set for Monday and Wednesday afternoons of each week. The one-act operetta, “The Dizzy Baton”, was given by members of the combined Glee Clubs at the January meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association in the Murphy Hall, and was enjoyed by a full capacity house. The Glee Club appeared before the public on numerous occasions, among them, the annual convocation service at the Christian Church, Homecoming, Parent-Teachers Association. Woman’s Club.

This club was organized in 1932 under the supervision of Miss Langston who deserves a great deal of credit for the success of Commercial Club activities in this school. Mr. Montgomery gave the first address to our club on “What is Expected of a Secretary”. At the following meeting Miss Martha Schoth gave a very interesting address on My Experience as a Secretary”. For the regular November meeting we had a weiner roast. On November 4, a Commercial Club carnival was held at the Memorial hall. A Christmas party was substituted for the December meeting. The speaker for the next meeting was Mr. R. P. Perkin-son, a representative of the Retail Credit Association in Bloomington. His topic was “Justifying the Existence of a Commercial Club”. I)r. Oglevee addressed the group at a special meeting on March 12. His topic was “Uncle S a m and the Weatherman”. Honor keys were given out at the April meeting. Students who attained this honor the first semester were: Cleo Brown, Mildred Frantz, Irma Brandt, Frances Behrends, Albert Hieronymus and Emily Crihfield. Also a talk on “Citizenship” was given by M. M. Sugg and later refreshments were served. Preliminary winners to represent A. C. H.

The play was centered around a rather dead town called Eureka, where Bob Mannion, editor of the Eureka News, labored constantly under the yoke of the one, great and only John Wargrim, a hard-hearted business man. Bob had almost decided that you couldn’t wake up Eureka with the discovery of gold in Main street. Then Jimmy Samson, the ambitious young representative of an advertising company, breezes into town. Jimmy, a human alarm clock. promptly proceeds to wake up everybody and his first move sets the town gasping. Then follows a period of hectic excitement and grand mixups until the end of the play when everyone seems satisfied. The two comedy characters in the play, Jud Fenton and Mrs. Nelson Dodd, brought hilarious laughter with their quarrels and differences. The play was presented to a large-size audience and was one of the first royalty plays given in a long time. Marlin Baker furnished enjoyable vocal numbers between acts.

These activities serve a definite purpose in the modern school system. They provide the best possible medium for character education. Craig Ruby, coach of basketball at our State University, says, “When a coach has a winning team he is a great coach. When he has a losing team he is a character builder.” The statement was made half in fun hut no doubt contains more than a little truth. Baseball has supplanted football as a fall sport in our high school. Baseball is called the national game. Even-boy likes to play and what is more important every boy can play. No great amount of physical development is necessary to become at least a mediocre player. Great strength and stamina are helpful but not necessary. A good eye and a quick hand will serve one better in this game. Cooperation between team members is essential. Concerted effort toward a definite goal must be maintained by every member of the team. Thus a valuable lesson may be taught. Since the game is played outside, an unlimited number of players can be supervised. About 30 boys played baseball last fall although less than half of these took part in regularly scheduled games. Basketball is the major sport in most Central Illinois schools, especially the smaller ones. Unlike baseball, physical strength and stamina [day an important part in this game. Cooperation between team members is even more important and there is much less time to think the situation over, since the action is much faster. In basketball the spectators are very close to the players and difficulties sometime arise from this fact. A boy must have his emotions under iron control to become a successful basketball player. There is much personal contact in the game and the boys must learn to give and take without anger. They must also learn to uphold the rules of the game as interpreted by the official, although in many cases it maybe very difficult to do. Rigid training is necessary in order to be able to maintain the fast pace of the game for 32 minutes, and a decided advantage lies on the side of the team having the better physical condition. Abstinence and temperance are desirable traits to cultivate in the individual. Track is the aristocrat of the sport world. Individual performances of strength, speed, and stamina are the basis of the sport. In the track events proper courage is a necessary trait and it can be developed by this sport. Track is a wonderful body builder. Running is a national form of exercise. We were made to run. Every boy in school should take the opportunity to develop himself physically, no matter whether he thinks he can make the team or not. Many surprises occur in this respect. Many friendships are formed among track athletes. There is no physical contact in the sport which helps to keep relations among competing athletes on a more friendly basis. The opportunity f o r making friends is probably greater than in any other sport. The benefits to be gained from a well balanced athletic program are not confined to the boys who take part in the games. The entire student body is benefited. Who would question that a good basketball game is better entertainment for boys and girls of high school age than a dance or a questionable movie. It is cheaper than either. The pep meetings and other activities connected with athletics give us a zest for the school work which might sometimes become rather dull without them. A balanced athletic program is the leaven in the bread of education. Mr. Price. -17 Atalauta llaseball (Sanies an it Scores Middletown .................. 7 Elkhart...................... 1 Reason ...................... 1 Latham....................... 4 New Holland.................. 2 Hartsburg ................... 2 Lyle Paulsen was a very reliable man and was noted for bis speed when running the bases. He was always running the opposing team dizzy and started the season by batting 1.000 for the first two games. He led the team for the season with an average of .611 and had the greatest number of stolen bases in the league. This is Lyle’s last year of competition in high school. Jack “Percy” Freeston was a good man wherever Mr. Price chose to use him, but was more at home on the mound than anywhere else and was noted for his fast ball. Jack was a good hitter and came through at the end of the season with a batting average of .555. Atlanta ......................13 Atlanta ....................... 6 Atlanta ....................... 4 Atlanta ......................16 Atlanta ....................... 9 Atlanta ....................... 3 He would have fitted in nicely in the championship game, but for scholastic troubles. This is Jack’s last year of competition. John “Hippy” Hubner had the luck to stick out four years of catching. He liked to worry his opponents at the home plate and also tried to keep the pace at batting set by Lyle and Jack, but fell a little behind at the end of the season with an average of .541. John led the team in hits for the season. It is also his last year of competition. Weldon “Pete” Frantz, our second baseman, didn’t play regularly until he was a I ttifior, but the last two years I 3 -i 18 - iUnschall lie made up for what he should have done the other two years. He wasn’t such a good hitter, but managed to come through when needed most. He was a good man to keep the team in the very l est of spirits. This is his last year of competition. Marvin “Lead” Hamilton was a greatly improved player from his Sophomore year. His easy-going, cool-headed playing brought us out of more than one “tough” spot. Marvin’s first year of competition wasn’t so “hot”, but through the summer, was taken in hand by Pat Harken of the Bloomington American Legion team and when “Lead” came back, he turned out some fine baseball. He finished fourth on the batting list with a .391 average for the season. He has one more year of competition, and will come through in great style, we feel sure. Newton Douglas played left field for our team this season and has one more year of competition. He didn’t get very many chances in the field, but he made up for that by getting a few hits when they were needed the most. Mitchy” Rich was a good man to have in the field, for when the infield had one of its hard luck streaks, “Mitchy” would always come through. I f any ball got by the infield and came his way, he would “snag” it. He wasn’t a very good hitter, but will im- prove with this three more years of competition. Richard Dick” Reinmiller was used at shortstop with the exception of the championship game at Hartsburg. He managed to stop some “hot” grounders. Dick was fast, so it didn’t do the opposing team any good to let him get on base, for he usually came through with a score. He wasn’t a very consistent hitter. Dick has one more year of competition. Harold Leach was a dandy center fielder, and the most consistent hitter on the team. He would surely have made good in his other three years of competition, if he had only stayed in school. Hardly ever did a fly ball get by him or a runner score when he got the ball in his possession. Scholastic troubles held him out of the last two games of the season. We surely could have used him in the championship game, for he was a sure bet to hit at the right time in any game he played. William “W. L. S” Spencer was a good man to help in the pinches if he could concentrate on the game and not on the sidelines. He usually came through when needed, though, and may fit in well in the team next year. He can keep the team’s spirit up, too. for he can always be heard urging them on. He should become a catcher for he has a voice that carries a mile. J. M. H„ ’34. Xcttcr jilctt L. Paulsen Frantz Reinmiller Freeston Hamilton Leach Hubner Douglas Spencer Rich Hiaslu'thall Weldon “Pete Frantz was a real running mate to Hamilton at forward, even though he didn’t make very many points. “Pete” played classy ball and it was hard for any guard to hold him scoreless and he usually managed to come through when needed. This is “Pete’s” last year in high school competition. Jack “Percy” Freeston was our center and pivot point man. Once he got started he was hard to hold and has made many a basket by rebound shots. Jack is next to Hamilton for scoring honors. Jack was a good offensive center and concludes his high school career with a good record. Marvin “Lead” Hamilton is our other first team forward. “Lead” has played with us two years and was the main cog in our scoring attack. “Lead” is a classy floor man and rebound shot, also was noted for his accurate one-hand shots. “Lead” has one more year of competition and should go through his last year in great style. Lyle “Iron Man” Paulsen u'as the main cog in our defense. When Coach Price said go get your man, that unfortunate individual found he had a second shadow. Lyle has gone through many a defense for points when needed. When he played in the games, he was a sure man to gather in a few points and bring his team mates out of a “slump”. This is also his last year in high school. John “Hippy” Hubner was the other guard, wasn’t a very good shot but managed to get the ball down the floor to scoring position when needed. But was lost to his team in February because of the age rule. This is also his last year in high school. Delber “Sassage” Fulk was a sub guard and managed to get into the game quite a bit. He was a little slow but seemed to the opponent players to get in their way. “Sassage” was a shifty player and was played at forward quite a bit. This is also his last year in high school. Richard “Dick” Reinmiller played forward quite a bit. “Dick” is fast and a good dribbler, also a good shot, so it didn’t do to let him loose for he was sure to score. There were very few free throws missed by “Dick” in the games. He has one more year of competition and should make as good a combination with Hamilton at forward next year as “Pete” did this year. Harold “Coddy” Paulsen is a guard and took “Hippy’s” place when he had to leave his team mates. “Coddy” is only a Sophomore but is expected to improve quite a bit before next year, lie is a good ball handler and a good shot from any place on the floor. Coddy” has two more years of com- 20 19 3 4 Haslu'tliall petition in which he should be a great help to his team mates when school starts next year and also in his Senior year. Harley “Frankenstein” Duffield is our Sophomore center. He played his first game of basketball for the A. C. II. S. in his Freshman year at school. Huprbnlr Our first game in the Hopedale tournament turned out to be with Ar-mington. We were a little afraid of Arming-ton although we had never seen the team play, we had heard of the games they had played. So we judged them to be a hard team to beat and they turned out to be as we had thought, for they came within six points of beating us, (27-21). Then Hopedale was to be the next team and this team was considered one of the “toughest” teams in the Coulttlj Then came the county tournament with Latham our first game. The whole team felt good and beat Latham bad, the score being 51 to 15. Hut as each game progressed the games became less interesting. Middletown was the next victim, by a score of 40 to 10. I larley is noted for his long arms and his ability to reach across the floor and spoil the opponent team’s passes. In his next two years he should make as good a center as ever there has been in this high school. Harley played some in all of the tournament games this year. (Tournament tournament. There was a fairly large group of people over from Atlanta and they gave us good backing. The home team played good hall and beat Hope-dale, (36-28). The tournament was more complicated now. So after supper the home boys didn’t know what to do. besides think about the game with Morton. When the game started the team forgot their nervousness and beat Morton (54-21) to win the Hopedale tournament. (Tournament Then Elkhart gave us a scare by leading us at the half. This caused the team to snap out of the slump to win 35 to 27. The finalists were to be Beason and Atlanta. We won the finals fairly easy, 26 to 14. which meant another championship. ilistvict Our first game was with Waynes-ville, which we won 66 to 20. The next night the home boys, being a little tired of the game and wanting to save their energy for the game with Mt. Pulaski, and came near getting “bumped off”, but survived, 36 to 31. Then the big game of the year, with Mt. Pulaski, was to be played. The team had a lot of reserve energy and sure exerted it in this game, until Marvin Hamilton went out of the game on Xi'ttl'r (Lmtrnamcnt fouls. The teferees were doing a poor job of refereeing or else they had better eyes than usual, for they could sec-fouls the full length of the floor. It turned out Marvin was “it” and had to leave the game before the first half was over on account of four fouls. Then the team began to slump, they lost that game by a score of 32 to 17. Atlanta could have beat one team, but it’s just too much for one team of five players to beat another team of seven players. iHi'll Frantz Reinmiller 1 lamilton Freeston Hubner 1,. Paulsen H.

In turn, the widower, trying to appear younger, has his 17 year old daughter pose as a girl of 13. so that he might wed the widow whom he believes to be rich. Neither the widower or the widow have a cent, both having lost their money in the stock market. This situation leads to no end of amusing complications when they both try to keep the knowledge of their losses from the other, also the real ages of their respective offspring. The boy's grandmother also adds to the fun by appearing in a ridiculously youthful costume and when his friends see him dressed in his youthful attire, they too, dress up in youthful fashion to tease him. The craze for appearing youthful even spreads to the colored maid in the household, who appears ready to serve the dinner dressed as a child of 12. Everyone gets himself in hot water in these situations, especially when the deception on both sides is discovered. Eventually, a portion of the losses of both widow and widower is restored, and not only the widow and widower decide to marry, but another romance is hatched.

December 22. the Girls’ and Roys’ Glee Clubs and the Commercial Club gave a Christmas party for the high school. An enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and playing cards. The hall was very ar- tistically decorated in the usual Christmas colors. The music and door show was furnished by school talent. About 10 o’clock Santa came and passed out the gifts, (later lie took off his pillow and danced). “ JtmnmnmmV’ The annual Homecoming was held October 13, 1933. The occasion witnessed a fine day and a large number of people were in town to view the proceedings. The parade began at 1 o’clock in the afternoon at the school building. The school Band under the direction of Mr. Larison, headed the parade and was immediately followed by demonstrations and floats representing various groups in and around the community. From the school building. the parade progressed east to Murphy Hall where it headed south along the business district and ended near the C. A. tower. Judges picked the best floats and the Sophomore class made excellent use of Johnston King’s Model T to take the first prize. Following the parade, a large crowd attended the baseball game between Atlanta High School and New Hol-lond. The Atlanta boys proved their worth and won. 9 to 2. The ladies of the Christian Church served supper in the evening. At 7:30 a musical program was presented at Murphy Hall and was enjoyed by everyone. 3Jmttnr (Class Hinx Uncial On Friday, March 16, the Class of ’35 sponsored a box social for the High School in the school gym. This party turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the school year. The early portion of the evening was spent in playing the corn game, and a new game called “sailor”. A radio was installed and through its use the pupils were able to dance to the music of Hal Kemp. Wayne King. Jan Garber, and many other famous orchestras. Two “ping pong” tables furnished amusement for m a n y during the course of the evening. When time for refreshments came, the boxes were sold to the highest bidders. Many boxes brought quite high bids and all of the boxes were worth it, the only trouble was the boys began to run out of money along toward the end. When everyone was settled to eat, the Junior girls served coffee. After the party was officially ended, a certain group carried it on into the wee sma’ hours. T. H.

All this bad a background of lofty, snow-covered peaks r'sing above the irregular timber line. Even though I was living in this country and bad all I could desire I was not happy. This afternoon my two stalwart greyhounds were lying, one on cither side of my chair. The small brown and white terriers were romping over the large Newfoundland. who was sunning himself on the grass. In them I confided the cause of my loneliness and unrest. Twenty-five years had elapsed since the members of our dear old class of ’34 had scattered to the four winds to make their fortunes. I was yearning for some word from all of them. 1 wondered where they were and what they were doing. Sitting in the warm California sun I soon fell asleep and was taken away to the beautiful valley of Dreamland. The Dreamland fairy. Vision, then lead me on a long journey. We were traveling through a large city. The first person we met was Dr. Delber Fulk, the best in the city. I then got a glimpse of Lawrence Howe. Sonny was now manager and owner of one of the largest department stores in that town. Lawrence was seen smok'ng a large cigar, his feet propped on the desk top in his private office. He was reprimanding one of his good looking lady clerks. By looking closely I could tell it was the same Georgia Houghtling. In this same city I saw Lcota Younkers as an experienced nurse in a large hospital. I also gl’mpsed Irma Brandt as a bank president’s wife. While going through this same town I noticed on the window of a building, “Beauty Salon. Experienced Beauty Cultur-ist, Mildred Phillips”. Vision and I now traveled to another large city where I saw a large car manufacturing plant. An agent came out and took me before the manager. After some time I recognized the manager as Pete Frantz, one of my old classmates. He took me into the office and I was introduced to his secretary. Myrtle Ambcrg. He took me to his home to meet his wife, the former Narola Miller. Vision now took me to the rural districts where I saw John Hubner and Lyle Paulsen as successful farmers. In this same community I saw Helen Adams performing the role of a country school teacher. Also in the rural d:strict I saw Bernice Graham and Hester Hubner as housewives. I was now taken to another city, across the top of a building was a sign which read. “W. M. Black, Attorney at Law”. While going by a large ball I noticed a sign in front of it, which stated that a great orator was to give an address i:i the hall the following day, the orator was to be Lorlctta Wilcoxson. It was in this city that I saw Louise Brad way, she was to make her debut as a soloist the following evening. It hapnened that her training in music in A. C. H. S. was helpful after all. I was then taken into another town. We passed a newspaper office and upon looking in I d scovercd Paul Adams bending over his desk writing his latest report. He was now a full fledged newspaper reporter. I looked across the street and saw Wilma Howe coming from the broadcasting studio where she had just finished a daily program. She was a nationally known pianist. I saw Sarah Watt in this same town. She was serving as a gymnastic instructor. I then passed the police station and saw lack Frccston as police chief of the city. This, however, was only a side line as Jack was planning on entering the coming Olympics. Before we started on our homeward journey. Vision took me into a jungle in India. A group of natives were gathered around a white woman who was talking to them very earnestly. It was Mary Zollars. traveling for Sears, Roebuck Co. She was selling sealskin coats to the natives on the installment plan. I gradually awoke and found myself still sitting in the comfortable chair on the veranda of my home in the California foothills. I wondered just how nearly true my dreams would be if I could meet my old classmates and renew some of the long lost acquaintances. B. T., 34. Ulnst lllill anb (testament of the (Class of 193 1 Wc, the Class of 1934, about to leave this sphere in full possession of sound mind, memory and high standards, do hereby make and publish this last will and testament. First: We do direct that our funeral services be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the Faculty, and that it be carried on with all the d’gnity and pomp our situation in high school has merited. Second: To our friendly enemies, the Class of 35. we do give and bequeath; Our excellent ability of behaving, especially in English IV class; our courtesy toward the Faculty to their faces, our industrious square and quiet hab'ts in the class rooms and other places and our fairness in acquiring good grades. To the individuals of the Junior class we bequeath: Leota Younkcr’s winning ways and Sarah Watt's numerous dates to Frances Bch-rends. This will give you something to brag about for a while, Fannie. William Black’s popularity with the girls to Leslie Odom. Lorietta Wilcoxson's avordupois to Bob Judy. Lyle Paulsen’s and John Hubner’s athletic abilities to Marvin Hamilton and Bill Spenser. Bcrnadine Thompson’s love and affection for a country fellow to Nadine Heft. Paul Adams’ good common-sense and Delber Fulk’s oratorical ability to Emery Cass. We hope this will aid you in arguing with your teachers. Irma Brandt’s morning exercises to Ramon Mason. Perhaps this will take the place of a necessary 18-day diet. Sonny Howe’s height to Frend Baker. Narola Miller’s ability to be true to one to Emily Jean Crihfield. Jack Freeston’s rating with the teachers to Dick Reinmiller. I am sure this will keep you eligible, Dick. Myrtle Amberg’s deep, full, musical voice to Lynn McClure. Pete Frantz’s numerous telephone calls to Mildred Frantz. Mildred Phillips’ fingerwaving talent to Allcne Criswell. Georgia Houghtling’s and Bernice Graham’s nartnerslrp to Albert Hie and Tom Tuttle. Louise Brad way’s artistic complexion to Cleo Brown. Hester Hubner’s popularity to Newton Douglas. Wilma Howe’s “Frcnchship” to Naomi McCombs. Helen Adams’ studious attitudes to Treva Heft. Third: It any of these possessions, “valuable or otherwise”, have been omitted, we pass them on with deep regrets, together with a large measure of our Senior d gnity, which we feel is greatly needed, to the Sophomores and Freshmen, share and share alike. This last will and testament is hereby signed by the Class of 1934. M. E. Z., ’34. 1111 Atalanta (Class History In the fall of 1930 there were so many other important events, one was overlooked. On the third day of September a crowd of bewildered and subdued Freshmen applied for admittance to the Atlanta High School. Since we seemed harmless as well as hopeless the Faculty granted our request. At first the upper classmen, especially the Sophomores, ignored 11s. but they were soon compelled to recognize our merits. Our class, then consisting of 34 members, was assigned seats on the south side of the assembly. The upper classmen began the task of organizing their class and we Freshmen followed suit. We elected Lyle Paulsen, president; Weldon Frantz, vice-president; Kenyon Bev-an. secretary-treasurer, and Miss Hieronymus, class advisor. We were very fortunate to escape the ordeal of an initiation, but in its place the entire High School had a Halowe’en party at Murphy Hall. As Freshmen, I can say, we did our share along musical, athletic, and other lines. Our Sophomore year we felt more dignified and grown-up because our friends had stopped calling us “green Freshies”, although the one word “green” might have applied to us. As was the custom, we organized our class, electing Weldon Frantz, president; Jack Freeston, vice-president; and Kenyon Vevan, secretary-treasurer; with Mr. Price, as class advisor. We encountered many hardships. but finally struggled through to sa f ety. In the year of 1932 a group of shining examples for our underclassmen enrolled as Juniors. This year, as we soon found out, we were wading deeper into responsibility, the tasks of financing the Junior-Senior banquet, and constant practice for the Junior play. This time Winton Hoose was elected president; Helen Adams, vice-president; Lawrence Howe, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Langston, as our guide. We had one enemy this year. Mr. Bookkeeping, but he was finally defeated. At last came our Senior year and we realize t h a t we have almost reached our goal. An early class meeting was held and Mildred Phillips was elected president ; Bernadine Thompson, vice-president ; Irma Brandt, secretary .treasurer; with Mr. Riley to advise. We plunged into the task of publishing our annual. The staff and advisers were chosen. On March 12 we selected our “class play”, “Mama’s Baby Boy”. And now to close the history of the most famous class, the class of 1934. I shall mention the students who have withdrawn since we started as Freshmen together: Mildred Greenslate Morris Freeman Nancy Allen M a ri an A rml ru st er Thelma Bateman Kenyon Bevan Opal Brown Winton Moose Olive Mason John Kirby Richard Webb Grant Johnson Harold Baker Margaret Franklin Wilbur Scroggins M. P., ’34. ' 'citinr (Charge Friends, Faculty, and fellow students: The time has now arrived when we, the Senior class of ’34, must sever our relations with the old A. C. H. S. and start our career in the world alone. It is the painful duty of our class before departing to expose the wayward faults of our beloved Juniors and to advise them. It is very difficult to do this because their faults are varied and many. Moreover, their good qualities are few. So listen carefully to what I have to say, ye Juniors, and be not insulted if 1 condemn you harshly. First to the class as a whole, I wish to say, next year you will be known as the Senior class and will have to assume the duties and responsibilities of the same. We wish to inform you that you have a strenuous task ahead of you if you expect to measure up to the standards we have set in athletics, music, and dramatics. For manner’s sake, 1 will mention first your president, Albert Hieronymus. He acts a bit too childish, in that he likes to show off. It is a pity you picked the least dignified to fill such a responsible position. Now we come to Tom Tuttle. Tom, why not turn your thoughts to the younger generation and quit trying to rob the “old ladies’ home”. Or, perhaps, it is the pastries that have the attraction. Robert Judy, you are so quiet and good in school that the teachers hardly know you are there. Wake up and let the teachers earn their money. What can be said of Mildred Frantz? She’s a mvstery. You have no obnoxious faults, Mildred, except that you are a lunior, but we won’t hold that against you if you continue in your quiet and industrious ways. Emery Cass, we leave the office to you. It shall be your privilege to inhabit it as much as you like, but remember you determine for yourself how much time you will spend there, so we would advise you to do less skipping in the future as lost time is never regained. It seems that Frances Behrends will some day be quite a stenographer. That will at least keep her mind off a certain weakness you once had. but remember. Fannie, ’t• s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. It seems inevitable that Bill Spencer will become a farmer. Give up the idea. Bill, for I am sure a certain Sophomore would not like country life. Hitch up your one-horse shav and come to town. Here your cares will be forgotten in our hectic city life. Much could be said concerting Lynn McClure and his musical ability, but from the sounds which float down from the music room once a week, we feel that the least said, the better. But we do appreciate you as a cheer leader, Lynn. One of your members has a characteristic which, if possessed in a smaller quantity would be quite charming. We are referring to Cleo Brown, whose excess shyness keeps her from becoming a brilliant young student. We Seniors hardly know how to sympathize with you on account of your inefficient athletes, as all our boys have been most successful in that branch of school activities. But there is some consolation for you in the knowledge that Marvin, Dick and Frend have kept your career from becoming a complete failure and much credit is due them. Some of us, upon reaching a certa n stage of life, become vain and stuck upon ourselves. Most of us get over this, but some do not. And we greatly fear that one of your honorable members is permanently afflicted with this terrible malady. Naomi, we beg of you, dismount from your place of celestial dreams and come down to earth again, among your equals (nothing to be proud of, I admit, but never-the-less your equals) the Juniors. And next we approach the daintiest member of your class, Ramon Mason. Our advice to you is to continue your practice on your drums, and some day you may be playing with a big orchestra. Nadine, if you wish to become a Senior you will have to burn a little more midnight oil to a better advantage than to entertain a certain country gentleman. Treva, you stand a good chance of measuring up to our standards, so long as you don’t follow too closely in your older sister’s footsteps. She has a weakness which keeps her mind off her studies. Allene, why not give some of the town boys a break, rather than bestowing your affections on the out of town boys. As for you, Emily Jean, we feel that one who has enough ambition to undertake the study of physics while a Junior, as you have done, has enough ambition to try to work up to our standards. Then there is Leslie Odom. Leslie, if your Chewy stands up under the strenuous usage which it has had for the last two years, until next year, we feel that you will no doubt make a record for yourself as a Senior, if it is nothing more than a speed record. And now luniors, we hope you will take this bit of friendly advice in the spirit in which it has been given and not only yourselves but the school as a whole will profit by it. N. M. 35 Atalanta junior Hespmtsc Dear Seniors: We have carefully considered and reconsidered your fatherly advice, and while we have learned nothing, we have strengthened our former theory that you are the most pitiful class that was ever graduated from this eminent high school. The first example of your empty-headedness was displayed by electing Mr. Riley as your advisor, not that he does not have excellent judgement, hut that he is entirely unsympathetic with such individuals as you. You undoubtedly should have selected Lyle Paulsen as your president, for while Mildred could he of use to an ordinary class, it takes someone with cool, levelheaded judgement like Lyle to preside over such a class as yours. W e think it would he a good idea, Willie, if you would really turn cave man. Hamilton says that whiskers will do the trek. Since Helen has understanding, perseverance and all of the qualities of a good missionary, we have decided that she should go to Japan and teach the Japanzes something besides fighting. Many people falsely accuse Sonny of slumbering in school when we know he is merely concentrating on a problem in physics or perchance, a famous scigc in history. We’re afraid you are overdoing it, Tony, so take our advice and have a little fun. You, Paul, have the reputation of being scholarly hut we know that your mind is set on being a photographer. “When bigger and better snapshots are taken. Paul-ey’ll take ’em.” We understand that when Lorictta fell down, the pictures tumbled to the floor, the minute man in the corner jerked the handle off his plow and Mr. Riley, thinking that judgement day had come, paid Mr. Rush the 47c which he had won illegally while these two good men were playing at--------. Mary is the coy young maiden, who like any respectable person goes to church every Sunday! (?) Each Sabbath day, rain or shine, she appears to hear more about the gospel. How can anyone give advice to such an upright citizen? Pete and Narola, since you arc free, white, and 17, the voice of experience urges you to be united in the little church on N ine and Cherry. You might live on I.O. Lb’s until Wclby or Frantz, Sr., again comes to the rescue. Irma Brandt is still champion “hair-puller and fingernail scratcher” of A. C. H. S.. but why Leota, don’t you try for this honorary position. You are as big as she and certainly you could give her a battle. Wilma (Mae) Howe has that certain something which is so alluring and temptu-ous to all masculine characters. Our suggestion to you is that you will your dimples, ripples and rolls to Cleo Brown or Allcne Criswell. Your biggest responsibility, Sassage Fulk, has so many faults that we will not endeavor to correct them in this short space. It Sarah followed Bernice’s example of dignity she would undoubtedly have a better reputation. There’s only one thing we can council you to do with that terrible racket called singing, Hester, and that is to terminate it permanently and completely. Hester’s brother, John, is the old patriarch himself. Hippy, you’ve had a great deal of experience but listen again to the greater JUNIOR CLASS: Irma’s all right but you’ll never get anywhere with a farmer’s daughter. We are certain, Louise, that if you were in any ot Miss Hie’s classes you would know that many cosmetics are poisoned by analin dyes. Better smear it on a little thinner. And now to that huge mountain of steel and muscle, that enormous specimen of strength and endurance, Atlanta’s young Adonis, Jack Freeston. For four years now you have dominated the state in the shot put, you are famed for your efforts with the discus and you are renowned for your magnificent javelin records, we admit, but like your fellow classmates you also have your faults. Yc should advise you to get a telephone at home, take more time for your meals and less time for those out-of-town telephone calls. Langston won’t tell us who got Myrtle’s picture but someone said that a bird named Walter from Fancy Prairie was guilty. Is Mary a match-maker or a heart-breaker, we’d like to know. our main fault to correct, Georgia, is vour terrible habit of talking too much. W e must admit, however, that since Hoosie left, things have certainly quieted down. Don’t forget, Bemadine, that Stoopnagle and Bud have an untangling department for untying fed up wrestlers. A post card to them will bring special notice to your wrestler’s case. And now that you are leaving this institution of learning forever, we, who are more experienced, sincerely wish you the best of luck and happiness, for we know that you are the best class that ever graduated from A. C. H. S.. this year. W e hc of you to follow tin- above suggestions and if you abide by them we are certain that in the end you will find reward. A. IT.. '35.

J talauta llll - 3'J At the time we are sending this to the press the so-called “GREATER JUNIOR CLASS” has issued invitations to the Faculty, their life-mates and the members of the Senior Class, asking them to attend what will no doubt be the greatest banquet given in the history of A. C. H. S. (so the Juniors think). They will probably call it the Greater Junior-Senior Banquet. For months they have p'anneri to have it on May 4, but much to the astonishment of the Superior Senior Cass, this stupendous, energetic class with that refulgent pianist and non-surpassable tenor as president, they have postponed it until May 10. We admit that they have a hard time but such a class as this one should be undaunted by such mere trifling troubles as they have encountered. We, the Senior Class, have, with conservative ideas, set our estimates of what we hope to encounter. Here’s hoping we will not be disappointed. o o Leota is flirting with all the automobile salesmen. Some are showing freewheeling Ply mouths and others V-8’s. Leota says she likes the free-wheeling the best but according to some observers they couldn’t see where freewheeling was of any help. o • April 28, 1934, house cleaning day in Washburn. Ten Atlanta boys found 13 medals. Mr. Price said that if he had taken four Freshmen girls they could have brought home four more medals. o o One day Marvin H. was telling Gerthal White about one of his many exciting adventures. This one was about a house in which a beautiful girl was imprisoned. (He knew she was beautiful because she had a beautiful voice.) This house had no windows. chimnies, doors, or any visible entrances. He was very much puzzled as to the procedure of rescue. Awe-strickened Gerthal said, “How did you come to rescue her, my hero”, to which Marvin replied, “I just ran around the house until I was all in.” • • Willie Black surprised everyone by investing in a model A coupe. We rather suspicion that this was brought about by his association with a certain girl friend. e • Mary and Howard are very busy these days. Six a. m., working in the garden; 8:30, come to school and teach all day. Three-sixteen to 6, put in more garden and paint the little rooms. After supper, attend some of the various showers and bring home more equipment for future use. Ii neither side lacks out they plan to have the wedding May 13. So far things have been running pretty smoothly and they have planned to have Irma Brandt pound out a half hour piano recital before hand.
