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.
