Greetings, guys and gals. Welcome to another eventful year at good old A. H. S. Atwater High opened her doors September 5 to greet 100 students who were anxious to begin pondering over schedules and school activities for a new principal and music teacher had joined the staff of brain-builders, and the students could hard- ly wait to try them out. The classes soon became organized and officers were elected. Gertrude Douthitt headed the Senior classg Lavada McHenry, the Juniors, Bill Draku- lich, the Sophomoresg Peck Marts, the Freshmen, Tom Knapp, the eighth gradeg and Nevin Werten- berger, the seventh grade. Phyllis Stephenson and Betty Miller, Juniors, and Irene Graham and Gertrude Douthitt, Seniors, were chosen by the student body to be cheerleaders. Our football season go-t under way September 8 at the Annual Grotto Prevues but a disappointment was in store for the Spartans as Ravenna Town- ship defeated the team 6-0. Some of the highlights of the season were the Athletic Auction which net- ted S5166 to be used for equipment for the Spartans and 'Che fourth Annual Homecoming over which Phyllis Stephenson reigned as queen and Glenn Libis, football captain, as king. The season ended triumphantly with no losses, but with two ties, which made us County Champs. The team enjoyed a chicken dinner at the Tall Pines at which time the trophy was presented to them. Next on the list of events was the Seniors' trip to Massillon for pictures. A visit to McK.inley's rinonument was also enjoyed by the Seniors that ay. 65 Several field trips were taken by the various classes. The home economics girls enjoyed a trip to 0'Neils in Akron, and the commercial. law class visited a trial at Ravenna Court House. ' Crazy But Cute , the Senior play, got under way in November and weather conditions finally per- mitted its presentation in December. Irene Graham and Ray Beans headed the Maga- zine Drive. The top salesma-n, who received the portable radio, was Wayne Hrovatic. Mrs. Sherret appeared in the spot light along with the mixed chorus as t-hey presented a pro- gram of Christmas music at P. T. A. and the Com- munity Christmas. The members of the class of 1952 received their class rings and soon sported their blue and gray class jackets. The members of the class of 1953 ex- citedly ordered their rings and jackets and will proudly be wearing them next year. The basketball sea-son was less flowery for the Spartans as they suffered quite a few losses, but that still didn't bother them as they kept right on tighting. The month of April found the Juniors very busy presenting their class play and giving the Seniors a Prom they wouldn't forget. But the month of May found the Seniors even busier as they started the month off with a won- derful trip to Washington, D. C. and ended it by marching down that aisle in caps and gowns wit-h tears in their eyes, smiles on their faces, and out- stretched hands for that achievement of twelve years, a diploma.

Portage Count Bookmohile The Portage County Library Service under the able direction of Mrs, Marjorie B. Clelland and her assistants has become an established institution with the schools of the county. Working on a schedule that includes every corner of Portage County, the bookrnobile supplies the needs of adults and children with wholesome literature from its well-stocked shelves. In tfhis way communities that have little or no library facilities can secure books on any sub- ject for any age group. Primary teachers may have collections of books for the little folk while children from third grade up become familiar with the process of borrowing their own beloved favorites. When the big bookmobile pulls into the school or is found parked at a country cross-road we know that rural youth is enjoying another privilege grant- ed by tihe American way of life.
