ATHS H POST SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1922, the largest class in the history of the school, hav- ing sixty-three members in all, entered the A. T. H. S. After many em- barrassing moments, including Initiation, we soon became accustomed to our new surroundings and settled down to high school life. In spite of our greenness we displayed our scholastic and athletic abilities. Alvin Weatherford, Ted Jay, Marvin Erhardt, Haskell Shook, and Howard Phillips represented us successfully in basketball and football. Next fall found us again in the assembly as Sophomores with the forty-seven members, quite a few having moved away. We were again suc- cessful in athletics and were represented in orchestra. Our dramatic and athletic abilities were shown in the operetta, Miss Cherry-blossom, in which some of our members took part. We studied hard and looked eager- ly forward to becoming Juniors. We began our Junior year with forty-nine members, Austin Shaw, Lilian Alverson, Mildred Kincaide, and Calvin Stapp had come into our midst. During this year Violet Wilkins won in the oratorical contest as essayist. One of the successful events of the year was the Junior Jubilee given by our class. It afforded a means of making money for our Junior- Senior banquet which was an entire success through the untiring eiorts of our class advisor, Miss Moore, who through our four years of high school has been our faithful and loyal friend. Howard Quick, Alvin Weatherford, Ted Jay, Oscar Stephenson were our stars in both football and basketball. And now, We have almost reached our goal. Graduation. With forty- five members, Rachael Verner and Byron Dussler have joined us, we are still the largest class to graduate in the history of the school. Our social events this year have been few. Four of our number were on the basket- ball team and several others were quite as successful in football. To prove our scholastic ability we have nine members who are to receive honor pins. In all, the laurels won by our class have been many and varied. A great deal of our time has been spent in carrying out different schemes by which to pay for our Post and we can with pride say we are the first class to pay for its Post. Mr. Walters, our class advisor, has proved him- self a loyal supporter of the school and in him the student body has found a real friend who was always ready to help them in any way he could. It is with heartfelt gratitude that We Seniors wish him success in his future Work. Through four years the Class of '26 has worked together. We have won and lost, laughed and wept, and, as one, we have grown and broadened in endeavoring to fill our place in high school. We know not what the world has in store for us but whatever it is we hope that we will be able to meet it successfully . Here's to the Senior Class, may they never forget the days spent in A. T. H. S., and ever be loyal to the Orange and Black. V. M. B., '26. Tiventgf-ciglit
