THE POST One rainy morning in September forty-three Freshmen entered the Atwood Township High School, Some came from the rural schools and some from the Atwood grade school. This was the largest class that had ever entered the high school. We were well represented in both oratorical and athletic contests. In the oratorical contest, the Freshman class was represented by Lillian Bowman and Bonnie Roberts. In athletics, we were represented by Hugh Harshbarger, Claude Ware. Carl Merritt and Richard Riggs. In September 1919, only thirty-one of the original forty-three came back to school as Sophomores. Some had moved away, and others had answered the lure of the dollar. — Helen Quick, ’22

THE POST 'iimimimiKimiiiiniiiiiiiimmiinit'iiHiHtiimiiiimini.ir Latin It is an ancient Latin book, That flunketh one of three. By thy long campaigns and glittering swords Now wherefore flunkest thou me? Miss Hiatt’s doors are open wide, And I am next in line. The class is met the test is set, It’s enough to make one pine. Longer and longer every day Grows that period just before noon. The pupils there do beat their breasts, For they see the zeros loom. And the coming finals do roar more loud. And the students sigh like sedge, And the questions pour down from one black cloud, Passing is at its edge. We wonder what the grades will be. We sigh, we frown, we groan, Happier and wiser all we'll be, When these long days have flown. Edward Parsons '22.
