Atlanta High School - Atalanta Yearbook (Atlanta, IL)

AJALANTA Atlanta High School Atlanta, Illinois 1958 The Senior Class of 1958 dedicates this Atalanta to MR. CHARLES H. WRIGHT to show the appreciation that our class and all other classes have for his guidance and unfailing devotion to the pupils as a superintendent and teacher in the Atlanta schools for the past twenty-three years. In the three hundred years of public education In America and a little over one hundred years in Illinois, education has made remarkable progress. Public education is too new in the history of the world to appraise accurately its ultimate value in the progress of civilization, but it promises to be the greatest achievement in developing and preserving the principles and ideals of democracy and advancing the progress of mankind. The four cornerstones upon which civilization rests are the home, the church, the school, and the government. They are interdependent. Each must support and encourage the others. Education is not a static thing. The schools of one generation will not meet the needs of a succeeding generation. Our schools need to be constantly improved and expanded to meet new conditions and needs. There can be no economic prosperity, no social progress, no safety for our political institutions, and no security for our democratic ideals without an ever expanding educational program. Atlanta has the reputation of maintaining a high standard for its schools. Seniors, I congratulate you upon your graduation from Atlanta high school. I trust that you are adequately prepared for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship and to embark upon a useful career or to pursue advanced training. The memories of many happy days spent in Atlanta high school will linger with you through the years wherever you may be. I hope you will ever strive to attain the ideals presented to you in this school. An ideal can never be fully attained because an ideal is a conception of perfection. As we approach our ideal, our conception of perfection changes and we seek a higher standard; but by making the quest we move forward and upward to a higher ideal. I wish you a successful, happy life. Happiness comes from rendering service to others and promoting worthy causes. It is only by spiritual service to God through the church and in all our dealings with our fellow men that we can attain true happiness, contentment, and peace. E. H.

Floyd Harris SECRETARY-TREASURER.......... Rita Parks Although the Senior class is the smallest in the school, they have done quite a lot this year. We began by building a float for the homecoming parade. The Senior's float this year was based on the title of the popular song So Rare . It was a display of things that are very rarely seen. After homecoming came the event we had been waiting for since we were freshmen—initiation. Then we organized the yearbook staff and planned the yearbook. March 28 the seniors sponsored a school party with a Mickey Mouse theme. The last of March the senior play cast was chosen. This brought springtime into the picture with thoughts of graduation and the end of our daze at A.C.H.S. WILBUR REID, JR. Bur Melody of Love LAURENCE R.

H lsrb. As Freshmen in the year 1955, we entered the halls of Atlanta Community High School with twenty pupils. During the year we lost only one student, Gerald Page.. With Mr. Wright as our sponsor the freshmen year we elected the following officers: President Wilbur Reid, Vice-President Donna Pope, Secretary-Treasurer Larry Thompson, Student Council Representative Shorty Harris, and Wilbur Reid. The theme for our float during our freshmen year was a Hawaiian Scene. In September, 1956, we entered as Sophomores with twenty-six students, having gained six students during the summer. During the year those who became new members of our class were Jerry Davis and Millie Lueschen. Mrs. Brak was our sponsor, and we elected the following officers: President Barbara McCullough, Vice-President Larry Thompson, Secretary-Treasurer Jim Quiram, and Student Council Representatives Ann Gorden and Carolyn Miller. Our busiest year, as Juniors, we began with only twenty-three students. Mr. Efaw was the class sponsor and class officers were President Wilbur Reid, Vice-President Carole Bicknell, Secretary Millie Lueschen, Treasurer Carolyn Miller, and Student Council Representatives Wilbur, Larry T., and Carole Ann. With our float Gone with the Wind we won first prize in the homecoming. On October 20, we select- ed our class rings, and we received them in December. On October 26, we presented our class play Red House Mystery , which was a real success. At the first basketball game we gave a Soup Supper. During the year we had concessions at the ball games and sold candy during noon hours to make money for the big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. To climax our junior year we entertained the Seniors at the prom on May 4, 1957. As we are ready to end our career at Old A. C. H. S., Mr. McCullough is our sponsor, Wilbur Reid is President, Shorty Harris is Vice-President, Rita Parks is Secretary-Treasurer, and Student Council members are Wilbur, Dan, Carole, Larry T., Millie, Jim, Shorty, and Carolyn. On September 20, we initiated the Green Freshies . October 7, we journeyed to Tichenor Studios in Peoria Heights to have our pictures taken. We have ordered our invitation cards and have taken measurements for caps and gowns for graduation. This year our float So Rare was used in the homecoming. Now as graduation nears we are working hard to finish the Yearbook. We are looking forward to honors night, commencement, and the prom. As seniors we must say good-by to all who will continue to carry on the activities which we have enjoyed so very much. May the best be granted to all of you. Ronnie ’’Max Factor Nollman puts on the finishing touch. We love the Seniors. Dianne faces the shocking truth. Cafeteria Style. Fashion View of 61 Just a little more. SING A SONG We started our schooling in 46 And came to school just full of tricks. We’ve laughed, cried, argued and fought. Many things we have been taught: Reading, writing, spelling and such. We thank our teachers very much For telling us all that stuff So when we leave we will know enough To face the problems in our life. And overcome all kinds of strife.

Because rwe were always up in the air about something in class it was decided that we would meet in outer space. Therefore, on the appointed day in 1980 we traveled from Atlanta to Washington, D. C., to leave Earth on Topnik, the hottest space ship in the galaxy. In D. C. we picked up Millie Lueschen, now President of the U. S. She was enroute to the moon to discuss peace plans with the Martians. Some of the members of our class were missing, but because it was time to blast off we all boarded the ship to continue our trip without them. We were destined to meet others on the way. For example, Marilyn Beccue was the head stewardess on Topnik . As the Space ship got underway, we had time to wander around and gossip with our former classmates. Barbara McCullough had been vacationing on Earth. She is an instructor at a navigation school on the moon. Her job: teach little children how to stay out of the way of meteors. Carole Bicknell had become a teacher of language. She teaches Earthlings Moonese, not Moonshine, Moonese. Mathematician Dan Patterson had not failed us either. He was our country's benefactor. At the present time he is experimenting with a plan for putting vitamins in space pills for air sickness. About that time the Captain of Topnik came back to welcome us on the journey. To everyone's amazement, our captain was Eddie Combs. A few hours later we arrived on the moon. We were greeted by Shorty Harris, dictator on the moon. Shorty said, EDVMJG_ IK D ) @?!R _Z. 1 TRANSLATION: Welcome Cats . A tour of the moon followed and we realized why many of our classmates had not been on the ship. They were already on the moon. We visited the space port and found Captain Cleo Vef running it. She had wanted to be a pilot but regulations kept her grounded. On a moon farm we met Wesley Bell. Wesley raises bottled space juice on his push button farm. Dean Benedict lived across the field on his farm. He knows the botanical name of what he grew, the entomological name of the insect that ate it, and the phar-' maceutical name of the drug that killed it. In Rocketville, we met Jim Quiram, the local undertaker. He's not too successful because of the extremely low gravity. Carolyn Miller's beauty shop was a must on the ladies' list. She specializes in making blondes brunettes. People come to her from all the planets. Martians are her trouble; they are all color blind. Larry Thompson, we found, is coach of Kruger's Klever Kolosal Kalypso Kourageous Koy Kute Kitty Kats. Their next scheduled game is with the Atlanta Redwings. In the park we met Donna Pope. She is in charge of the Space nursery. Walking across the boulevard we were almost run over by a fast jetmobile. Dick Baldwin emerged from the dust. He is now Hot Rod Club President of the Interplantary Shavers. He was fined by Ron Nollman, who is now traffic chief from Moon to Earth. In the evening we ate dinner at Willa Jones' Pizza parlor. She serves pizza with star flakes. All during the meal, Earl Gardner tried to sell us a jet. He has become a spontaneous-high powered salesman for jets and rockets. In the morning we visited a factory. Larry Brandt was operating Chisel's Cheese factory, (chiseling cheese off the moon). Moon Sunday we all attended an interplantary church service. Wilbur Reid gave the sermon. We left for the spaceport after that and I, Rita Parks, radioed in my commentaries to my paper, The Special Argus Courier. The popcorn machine, pictured on the left, is being paid tor by the junior and Sophomore classes. They are having a magazine sales drive to raise money. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Nancy Blankenship, Secretary; Joe Mount joy. President; Tom Shifflet, Vice-President; Mr. Efaw, Sponsor; and Judy Johnson, Treasurer. The Junior play was given November eighth. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed giving the play, and we had a large audience. Our superintendent, Mr. Harwood, directed the play, and he did an excellent job. Our Junior float depicted the building of a better America by the combined efforts of all the vocations. Although our float did not place, most of the Juniors believed it was the best float our class had ever built. At the first home basketball game the Juniors gave a chilli supper. Many of the mothers of Juniors did more than their share to make this supper the success that it was.

As they enter the cold, cruel world we would like to offer a small suggestion or bit of advice to help them lead a richer and fuller life in the years to come. DICK BALDWIN: Why don't you take up the manufacture of No-Nod Pills? MARILYN BECCUE: We hope your love life isn't as troublesome out of school as It was in school. WESLEY BELL: How about coming back next year and taking Drivers’ Training? BEAN BENEDICT: We think a horse would go better with your cowboy boots than a Packard does. CAROLE ANN BICKNELL: We think you could win first prize in a National Giggling Contest. LARRY BRANDT: We hope you never lose your ability to fix up old cars. ED COMBS: We hope your Pre-Flight course will help you in the years to come. EARL GARDNER: We bet you will be the first to break the sound barrier by blowing your nose. SHORTY HARRIS: We advise you to take up hog calling as a profession----SOOIE. WILLA JONES: We would all be better off if we didn't talk any more than you do. MILLIE LUESCHEN: We hear you are going to audition for the American Bandstand. BARBARA McCULLOUGH: We suggest that you invent an automatic hair washer. CAROLYN MILLER: We believe that you should start a Brad Imig fan club. RON NOLLMAN: We hope that in the future we can give you all of our car washing business. RITA PARKS: We'll always remember you for your crazy hair-do's. DAN PATTERSON: We hope your mathematical ability will help you in the future. DONNA POPE: We hope that little band of gold will bring happiness. JIM QUtRAM: When you are out of school we would like to know if you were naturally smart or whether you copied from Barb all four years? WILBUR REID: We won't say much about you since you'll probably be back some next year because of certain interests in the Class of '59'. LARRY THOMPSON: Will the color of your hair always match your temper? CLEO VEF: We think you should move to Florida where the weather is always nice for motorcycle riding. ■ .r .tt 1 Juniors on K.P.
