THE SENIOR CLASS OF '52 of the NEW ATHENS COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL v tiff®.A 'Tis the gentle pitter patter Of wee feet upon the stairs, The sound of children’s laughter Gaily ringing through the air. The shining eyes that smile at us. Wee lips that hold a kiss Far sweeter than the nectar That the bee from flowers sips 'Tis the fires soft warm welcome And the lamplighter's mellow glow. Friendly books and easy chairs And the folks we like to know. The love and light and laughter That go singing through the gloam All telling us of peace within That makes a house a home. presents the presents the dedicated to our HOME (Elizabeth Brockway)

Plans are being made to add an industrial arts building some time in the near future. This year the school has an enrollment of 120 and a faculty of 9.
