PROPHECY Trying 10 tell what twenty-one people will be doing some ten to twenty years hence isn't the easiest job their is, or so I thought until I hit upon the extraordinary idea of gathering a stack of newspapers of somewhere around the year 1973. Now that may sound foolish at first, but by running backwards very swiftly all the way to the Argus Office, it just happened to be 1975 when I arrived there. I got a pile of newspapers that they had published in the last five years and set myself to the task of scanning over them, having no fear but that I would find every one of our illustrious and talented class somewhere within those ages. The first item I ran across was a big picture of a familiar looking man and woman snaking hands. Looking down at the caption I found that the two largest photograph studios, Horn Studios and Mitchell Studios had just merged and become one great chain of portrait studios. Spurred on by this success, I went on to find a news item that an obscure scientist named Eugene Lee Craft had skyrocketed to fame by discovering a new element (which he called Craftonium) on the third star from the left in the big dipper. This news was immediately followed by an offer for him to take on an important position in the Glendon Cook Oil Refining and Research Corporation. Turning to the agricultural news, I saw that Orville Compton had sold all of his farm holding (in favor of a teaching position in Atlanta High) to Pkyllis Frantz and her husband. The result was that they are now four large scale farms in competition around Atlanta, Phyllis on the north, Robert Mayberry on the west, Duane Quisenberry on the south and Vaughn Craft on the east. In the Book Section of one of the papers was a review of a book called “The Secret Passion of Ebenezer Snodgrass and, after looking more closely I discovered that it was the third best seller of the now famous author and poet, Joan Wiseman. She also wrote “The Private Life of a Private Secretary” which was based on the life of a successful secretary, Marilyn McCombs. In glancing over the social news I saw that the Wednesday Afternoon Bridge and Tea Club met at the home of Marj Rogers, west of town, and that Melba Miller, of Minier, HI., won the prize for high scbre. And out on the Mayberry farm, it says in the next weeks edition, Mary Williams was the hostess to this affair. Back to the agricultural sheet for a moment where I saw the announcement that Bob Speciale has bought $3,000 worth of grain from the H. C. Brooks Seed Company, to use in feeding his herd of champion Herefords. I decided to see what was going on in the entertainment world and while turning the pages I was suddenly hit in the face by a half-page announcement of a super-colossal musical, opening at the local theater. It starred Joane Douthit, who was picked up by talent scouts while modeling styles; “Billie Baldwin, straight from a banner season with the Metropolithn Opera Company; Ray Batemen, who won his fame as a radio crooner; and Gene Brandt and his famous orchestra. I was hurriedly thunbing through the papers in search of some news of the only class member I had not yet run across when two pages, stuck together, and, looking the page over, small news item came into view---POLICE NAB FAKER-----. It seems that some joker by the name of Jack Brandt tried to tell them that he had the power to foretell the future. CLASS WILL We the members of the class of !47M in retiring from A.C.H.S., believing ourselves mentally and physically sound do hereby will these characteristics and accomplishments to the Juniors. To the Juniors, each and every one, we leave: Ray Bateman's permanent position at the gas station to Guy Gipson. Be sure you can make change. To Marilyn Liesman we would like to leave “Billie's fascination for the Alumni. We know you won't mind Marilyn. Gene Brandt leaves his class ring to Audra Bicknell. Don't lose track of it like Gene did I Vaughn Craft's cheery smile to Lois Kindred and Phyllis Purcell. Jack Brandt’s place in the “Purple Airs to Margaret Ann. Hope you know how to tdke care of it. And to Eddie BeVard, Harold (Tee) Brooks’ basketball ability. Also Tee's dimples to Harold Pierce. That will make three won’t it, Harold? Joanne Douthit's efficiency in the Library Club to Mary Lou Long and Phyllis Applegate. Ho loafing, girls. Eugene Craft's mechanical mind to Jewel Cook. You will probably need it next year for your car. Dorothy Mitchell's shorthand speed to Ruth Lauer. When it comes to sleeping, Bobby Speciale is tops. We hope that Willie Loy and Bill Gaither will be just as good at it. Glendon Cooks curly hair to Jimmy Ash and Jack Mayberry. Don't forget to do it up every night, boys. To Mary Jane Johnson we leave Marilyn's McLean fellows. More power to you, Mary Jane. ' Bobby Mayberry leaves his Chevie to Lyle Karrick. Now you won’t have to ride the bus, Lyle. Duane’s ability to make speeches in study hall to Norma Karrick and Rachel Harmon. To Ralph Gosda and Marshall Spaits we leave Marjorie's interest in the 4H. Maybe this time your sheep won't die, Marshall. Joan Wiseman’s chemistry explosions to Dorothy Larson and Ina Mae Murray. We would hate to see old A.C.H.S. go up in smoke, girls. Class Will (Continued) Orville Compton's fancy for freshman girls to Chester and Bill Pack. Treat them gently like Speed does. Melba's school skipping to Jeanne Martinie. Better try it some time. Gives your mind a rest. Bill Horn's wonderful height to Tommy Faye. Why don't you both grow a little bit. We don't know much about Roger Fortman, so we will have to let him rest. Phyllis Frantz's diamond to Edith and Gilberta. Last but not least, I, Mary Williams leave my pencil stub and writers cramps to Virginia Cook. Signed and Sealed by Senior Class of '47 . CHARGE Dear Juniors: Before we leave Ye Old Alma Mater to seek out of life the fames and fortunes that we think are due us, we would like to leave some free advice to our followers, the Juniors. First to your worthy president, Audra Bicknell, may we leave all the peace and quiet you deserve from Gene Brandt. Gene does love to tease you, doesn’t he Audra? Now your vice-president, Dorothy “Red Larson. How about that “Red and Ed” stuff we’ve been hearing about all year? Any truth to that Red , or shall we ask “Ed ? Jeanne Martinie, your wizzard financier, is a good girl all the time. We can't find anything to charge her with. Your blond Adonas, Eddie BeVard, is a Gabby Hartnett behind the bat and a Babe Ruth with the bat. More power to you, Eddie. Chester Hout and Bill Pack, do you two have to pick your girls from the Freshman class? Can’t you stick to the Junior class, although we have no objection. Guy Gipson, couldn't you make an extra special effort to try and get to school on time just once before you graduate? You don't seem to think everything is ''foolish , such as a certain somelwSfr from Minier. Now do you, Edith? Johnny Horn, why don’t you hire yourself to Speed for money since you make such a good bodyguard? Jewel Cook, you’ll soon get to be like “Atlas having to crank your car so vigorously after school every night. Jack Mayberry, you should be more like your brother. Nowdays children can be both seen and heard, only you are just seen. Can't you talk a little more? You’ll make a nice farmerette, Gilberta. We hope you are lucky enough to get the farm—er. Harold Pierce, how do you keep those curls shining like they do? Do you have to fix them every night ? One of your fine piano players, Rut hie Lauer, can really swing a tune. Especially for square dancing. We hope Virginia Cook will be back again next year to fill an honored Senior's seat ■o just keep listening to those wedding bells instead of ringing them yourself. Ina Mae, we think you make a good square dance teacher. Especially to Eddie. Charge (Continued) Margaret Taylor, do you find McLean or Atlanta more interesting? We wish you’d make up your mind before we graduate. Willie Loy and Bill Gaither, are you two going to be women haters for the rest of your life, or are you going to be lone wolves just for the fun of it? What's so interesting about the Alumni, Marilyn Leisman? Evidently something or somebody. Could it be the somebody? Marshall Spaits, is our taxi driver. Marshall, if you think you can pile anymore kids in a car like you do, you had better invent a 20 passenger model. Have you learned to make button holes yet, Rachel, or are you still practicing on most expensive material? Mary Jane and Willie, why don't you two get together instead of being so bashful? Phyllis Purcell is another gal that goes for McLean. What is bo interesting in McLean that isn't here, Phyllis? Norma Karrick, how about all those letters you write each week? Is there somebody in the picture that we haven’t heard about or seen? Lyle Karrick thinks the sophomore class is all right. So do we, Lyle Do you intend to go in the grocery business someday, Tom Faye? We noticed that you preferred food rather girls. Ralph Gosda is our country lad, and a star pupil in ''Ag”. He is a good most of the time. And so. Dear Juniors, in saying farewfcll, we hope you will heed our advice and do your utmost to fill our honored seats. CLASS POEM Since we, (the wonderful senior class) Are leaving soon, (what a terrible loss I) I’ll tell you of each lad and lass. That made the teachers glad or cross. 1 11 start with Bob, a mischievous lad. The Seniors only pride and joy. He makes one Freshman heart so glad. For he is a very “Speciale” boy. When a teacher says “Name all the presidents,’’ Who does it, as bold as brass. And spells Constaninople on the side? Duane Quisenberry, president of the class. Who is the girl with the camera. Who is always where there is fun? You guess it. It’s “Dottie’’, that takes all the pictures. And is there when a good yarn is spun. Within our number are scientists true. But the most enthusiastic to be seen, Is the president of the Camera Club, Vaughn Craft’s little brother, Eugene. Class Poem (Continued) The trade marks of one senior boy Are bright shirts and a cheery smile, Vaughnie’s favorites are typing and F.F.A., And he's happy all the while. The Senior class boasts a pair of twins. They like their music hot and sweet. When it comes to trumpets or trombones. Jack and Gene Brandt turn on the heat. Phyllis Frantz, leader of the Pep Club, As a dignified senior she is grand. And she dazzles all the others. By the sparkler on her hand. “Speed' is a whiz at athletics And at teaching he's all right. But this trust in his dog isn’t much, and I quote, “Gee, I don’t think Butch will bite. In Latin, “Billie is very adept. But when she goes caroling. In all “Alice Blue Gown”, she’s the talk of the town. For we all like to hear her sing. Who plays in the band and likes Camera Club, And is a chemist, sure as you’re born And is one of the managers oi our team. You guessed it, it's Billy Horn. At dancing Mary Louise is smooth. And in our plays she turned dramatic, When talking of her we have nothing but praise, And that is most emphatic. Bob Mayberry is also one of our own. Who is destined for fortune and fame. But if you want to see him a bit disturbed. Just say, What’s your middle name?” Margie came from Eminence, The D..A.R. Award to win. And as president of the F.H.A. She keeps us in a spin. Tee” is our number one glamour boy. Who's right at home on a basketball floor. For when we need another point or two. He knows how to raise the score! Class Poem (Continued) Joanne Douthit, a studious model-to-be, In social sciences she does excell. And we would be so very proud If we could do as well. A quiet young gentleman, Glendon Cook, Who is well-known where ever he goes. No question can ever stump him. Why? Because “the Shadder knows!” Marilyn’s pleasant smile and manners to match. Make us admire her more each day. But when her sister puts on her best skirt. Please keep out of Marilyn’s way. Ray is our future admiral And we all admire his style. His girls in each port will be swooning Oyer his “Million-Dollar-Smile”. When we were picking Cheerleaders Melba Miller was our selection, And she warbles like a nightingale In Mr. Merry’s alto section. The reason why this class is sometimes bold. And sometimes talkative or brash. Is because they were born in '29, The year of the awful crash. I’ve turned the dictionary inside out, To find a rhyme for Joan, And since I can’t find one, the rime has come. To end this lengthy poem.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1944, Atlanta Community High School opened wide its portals to receive an overwhelming number of freshmen. Many students came in from the rural districts so an increase in students was inevitable. Miss Frances Postlewait, Miss Helen Jacobs, and Miss Marian Ioder served as our class sponsors during our freshman year. Our class officers were: Bill Pack, President, Jim Ash, Vice-President; Dorothy I .arson, Secretary-Treasurer. We enjoyed a wiener roast at Red Haw Hill at the beginning of our freshman year. Then following the paths of tradition, the Seniors initiated us, and many members of our class still remember the initiation ceremonies, however unfavorable! On September 5, 1945, we again entered the high school, but this time we were sophomores! And we also had a new superintendent, Mr. Robert Yates. Miss Jane Leininger served as our sponsor, and our officers were: Chester Hout, President; Eddie BeVard, Vice-President; Jim Ash, Secretary-Treasurer. One evening at the beginning of our sophomore year, we went to Camp Gresham and ate an out-door supper. Husband and Wife calling contests were held and everyone agreed that Phyllis .Applegate and Bill Gaither had the strongest voices. On a cold, snowy evening in February, we sponsored a high school Valentine Party. It was interrupted, however, by a blizzard and most of us found it very difficult to return to our homes. At the end of our sophomore year, we went to Pekin Park, Pekin, Illinois, for a day of fun. The whole class rented row boats and we rode in them most of the day. At noon we bought cold drinks and ate a picnic lunch. Everyone agreed that they had a grand time. And then on September 5, 1946, we became Juniors! Our sponsor is Miss Mavis Munch, and class officers are: Audra Bicknell, President; Dorothy Larson, Vice-President; Jeanne Martinie, Secretary-Treasurer. To start our year off right, we borrowed a hayrack, and tractor and went to Marilyn Leisman’s country home for a wiener roast. Everyone had an enjoyable evening. Since then we have been hard at work, making money for our class treasury. We sold popcorn and cold drinks at the baseball games and we also sold ice cream sandwiches and candy bars at the basketball games, all of which was great fun. Our class entered a patriotic float in the Homecoming Parade and our happiness was insurmountable when we won second place. Our prize was two dollars. We called our float “They Fought For Freedom”. And that is our class history up to the time that this is being written. We are making plans for the Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet, now, and we hope to make our own special mark on the history of our old A.C.H.S. JUNIOR RESPONSE Dearly beloved but soon-to-be-forgotten, class of ’47, since you have been so generous to give us such worthless advice we have decided to reciprocate in kind: First to the song bird, “Billie” Baldwin, may we suggest that it is about time you were changing your interests from last years alumni. Your affections for a certain sophomore girl are noticeable, Ray. “Cheesy”, why don’t you try experimenting the “Wright” system instead of the “Craft” system? It might help! Are you sure you want to go to college at Mac Murray, Joanie? You might get lonesome ! Joanne, we wish you success in your profession, (Whicn one?) “Hawkshaw,” it must have been nice down in Cupid’s alley at the Valentine’s Party. Wouldn’t it be better not to make a practice of it? Junior Response (Continued) We have decided you have a more forceful technique than the rest of your classmates, Phyllis and Melba. Rumors are flying that “Cookie”, due to years of practice with curly locks is going in to competition with .Art’s Beauty Shop. We wonder, Marilyn, if you are really working those two hours you remain home in the morning. We should like very much for, “Quizzie”, to tell us more about that New Year’s Eve date. “Speed”, do you think a watch would help the matter? We might ask a certain person. We hope, Vaughn, that you don’t go out into the world and be as boisterous and loud as you have been here, however, if there were more Vaughn’s around school would be more enjoyable. Isn’t it inconvenient to have to go ten miles before d date? Maybe not too bad, though! Let’s ask “Tee”. Bill, why don't you have more regards for the school’s property, for instance, typewriters. Bob, it must be nice to sleep in class. Wfc’ll try it sometime. You should be more careful where you poke that camera, “Dottie”, it might embarrass you sometime. Don't you have any other interests besides playing cards. Gene? Or haven’t we heard? Mary Lou, we’ll really miss that giggle next year, it will be so quiet, but maybe someone will make up for it. It wouldn’t be bubble gum that is taking you out of the state is it, Margie. Jack, we wish you success in your trumpet playing. Someday you may take the place of Harry James. Hoping you don’t take any of this too seriously, we wish to say good-bye and all our love goes with it. The Junior Class. FRESHMAN CLASS Front row, left to right: B. Frantz, H. Mayberry, B.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY September third proved to be a very good day, as forty green freshies entered the Atlanta Community High School. Our new pupils were Betty Thompson, Alice Bicknell, Wayne Powell, George Keiszling, George Usherwood, Lucille Leesman, Helen Mayberry, Ann Tygrest and Larry Johnson. Before the year was completed we lost Ruby Riddell, Dick Foster, Wayne Powell, and Edward Elder. With Mr. Grant as our class advisor we elected the following class officers: Bob Brading, President Marilyn Minick, Vice President Alice Bicknell, Secretary Jim Larson, Treasure Our class activities of the year started with a weiner roast at Red Haw Hill. We entered a float in the homecoming parade. The high school parties, being a new attraction for us were enjoyed by all. Having a great attraction for sports eleven of the boys went out for basketball and baseball. We hope for our future ye'rs in high school to be as pleasant and successful as this one has been. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of “45”, thirty pale, greenish looking freshies entered the assembly of Atlanta High School to be met by their new principal Mr. Yates. Because of their need for energetic leaders they chose class officers as follows: Gerry Gilbert, President Betty McRoberts, Vice President Geraldine Lamb, Secretary-Treasurer and Mr. Wright as class advisor. Red and White were chosen as class colors. Fun was had by all who attended the closing school picnic which was held at Lake Decatur in the spring of “46”. At the beginning of the second year in high school they chose Miss Leininger as class advisor and the following officers: Clarence Amberg, President Billy Horrom, Vice President Jimmy Thompson, Secretary-Treasurer Many of the class were members of the athletic teams, bands, FHA, and other organizations of ACHS. The Sophomores enjoyed a hayride and weiner roast at Camp Greisham in the fall of “46”. Thus the pages of time have imprinted forever the names and lives of those brilliant and successful members of the Sophomore class. • ATALANTA STAFF Seated: M. William , M. Roger , J. Douthit, J.

Mascot: Elmer BASKETBALL Atlanta had a fine season under the able leadership of Coach Beck, serving his first year here since he went into the service. Our boys won 15 games and lost 11 during the season. This doesn’t sound too bad if you note that the only teams on our schedule that we did not beat at least once were Minier, Bloomington, Mt. Pulaski, and Athens. Highlights of the season were our win over Lincoln and the undisputed Logan De-Witt Conference Crown. The Lincoln win was the second in a row for Atlanta as we buried them last year 54-39. The conference championship was also our second in succession. Low-points of the season were our elimination in the Williamsville and Logan Tourneys, both of which we were favored to win and our 2, one point defeats from Hartsburg. Seniors on this years team were: Compton, Brooks, and J. Brandt. Juniors; Ash Pack, Hout, and BeVard. Sophomores: Lake, Douthit, and Horrom. Without any six footers to work with our boys had to rely on speed, finesse, and shooting accuracy to come out with a successful season. ACHS OPPONENTS ACHS OPP.
