The Senior Class of 1955
is proud to dedicate this Athenian to
Mrs. Carrie Crediford.. .for her ever present
sincerity...for her many interesting English
classes, marked by impartiality and highlighted by
her love of poetry...for the invaluable advice through-
out her thirty-four years of unselfish service to the
youth of Athens. So to you, Mrs. Crediford, we dedicate
this yearbook in profound gratitude for your heart-
warming friendship.
The month of September
brought a variety of important
events, with it came the McCarthy
Hearings, the London Conferences
and of course the beginning of the
final year for 89 Seniors.
It seems only fitting that
the flurry of excitement which
new schedules, new subjects, and
new faces created should be re-
viewed byanew face, namely that
of “Ditmar” You will see the
school year as our amusing spec-
tator saw it, through the eyes of
“Ditmar”.
Autumn found the under-
classmen well on their way to
acquiring their share of recogni-
tion, electing new class officers
and sporting a championship J. V.
Football team.
In November the seniors
cheered at their last football
game; the laughs, the fluffs of
their final play production flew
past as the gayety of the Christ-
mas holidays approached. In De-
cember the staff hurried to meet
the Athenian deadline while the
school basketball team launched
its season’s play.
April brought the year’s
main attraction, The Senior Even-
ing, and then springtime followed
with the Senior Prom. Who can
forget those last few weeks be-
fore commencement that vanished
in a maze of autographs, pictures,
and exams ?
The year 1 955 was a big
year for all of us, a year full of
memories never to be forgotten.
We feel certain that, in years to
come, this annual will help each of
you to relive every vivid moment
of it. ,,

MESSAGE TO SENIORS
Being a citizen of this
great land of ours is a bless-
ing for which you should ever
be thankful. By the Bill of
Rights your worth as an indi-
vidual, physically, socially,
and spiritually is guaranteed.
Your opportunities are not
limited by race, creed, color,
financial status or class dis-
tinction You may rise as
high or sink as low as you
determine. The breadth of
your vision, the height of your
ambition, the length of your
perseverance and the quality
of your determination are the
factors which will determine
the lives you make for your-
selves.
Graduation implies that
you have learned certain skills,
understandings and attitudes;
that you have accomplished
certain goals; that you have
attained a measure of success.
It is a time to be happy and
proud but it is also just a be-
ginning. The time for using
and applying the knowledge and
skills you have mastered is
now at hand. You must contin-
ue to learn, to grow, to develop
and to succeed or you will slip
backward.
Man cannot be sufficient unto himself. Many times he must turn to others for
solace, advice and help. He should depend on the consolation, strength and inspira-
tion given by his Creator always, rather than fly
to Him only in times of distress or emergency.
Your school has tried to prepare
and guide you; to instill in your
hearts and minds wholesome
attitudes; to build your charac-
ter. We will follow your pro------------
gress in your future endeavors
and will ever be ready to offer a
helping hand when you need it.
In behalf of the entire fac-
ulty I congratulate you and wish
for you every happiness and
success.
To The Class Of 1 955
As you complete your
common school education, we
would like to have you learn
that there are two purposes
for which you should expectto
use your education. One is as
an aid in earning your liveli-
hood. The other is as an aid
and directive in making your
contribution to the well-being
of your country and of the
world.
The most important
issue before the world at the
time this is written is, I be-
lieve, the continuance of
world peace. I feel sure that
it must be the hope of every
right thinking person that
the present state of a warless
world may continue. I know
that there are many who be-
lieve that war is inevitable;
however, I wish to remind
you that, many times in the
past, learned men have con-
cluded that some things were
impossible only to find later
that in some way they had
overlooked some factorsand
the impossible become possi-
ble with people of faith and
drive not inhibited by the cer-
tainty that it couldn’t be done.
“they shall beat their swords
into plowshares and their
spears into pruninghooks. ’ ’ If
in some way man can learn to
combine his social, political
and spiritual activities into
one and the same category and
not try to have them go in sep-
arate and independent channels,
the impossible with man may
become possible with God.
I am sure that you can
direct your education to no
greater service to man than
the attempt to make the above
seemingly impossible com-
bination become possible.
Sincerely yours,

condition for the afternoon.
classes Ditmar returned to
Whenthe bell rang at
12:08, Ditmar found
himself in the midst
of a noon-time rush
which he found was
on its way to the
cafeteria. There he
found Mrs. CarlShan-
non, Mrs. Robert Mitch-
ell and Mrs. Warren
Parke, busily serving
a nutritious meal to our
hungry students. After
the meal was servedhe
strolled in the back
door and found the
cafeteria in ship-shape
During the afternoon
the cafeteria where the
staff was planning the menu for the next day. After
school he remembered what he had seen in the cafe-
teria, marveled at the competent staff, their planning,
preparing and serving, then said to himself, “It’s the
best. ’’
16
Morning, noon, or
night, regardless of
the time of day that
Ditmar goes through
the halls, he finds
either Mrs. Kathryn
Stowell, Mr. Charles
Thrope, or Mr. John
Bellis doing some of
their many tasks to
keep our school clean.
They are constantly
kept busy doing things
to make Athens High
School a more pleasant
place for the faculty and student body. As summer
goes and winter comes, both Charles Thorpe and
John Bellis try to keep our school warm. Mrs.
Stowell is always seen dusting chairs, desks, and
staircases. To these people we wish to express
our gratitude for keeping Athens High School a
neat and clean school.

Before “books opened’’ Ditmar appeared at Athens High. He melted into
a seventh grade room where all were merrily chattering in groups. Suddenly a
bell sent the groups scattering to their desks. Abrupt silence fell with the tardy
bell and the beginning of devotions. At the class bell Ditmar followed the section
into first period. During the morning he learned much about seventh graders.
This was their exciting first year in high school. They passed classes, had several
teachers, and attended and participated in assembly.
Ditmar pondered this until a bell started the noon rush for the cafeteria.
He couldn’t understand the hurry for the upperclassmen were served first. Back
in homeroom Mr. Hazard announced a junior high assembly for that afternoon.
After a merry assembly and a study hall, Ditmar plodded to last period. Time
crept but finally he noticed books being slyly packed. With the dismissal bell his
day’s companions abandoned him in the suddenly empty hall. The final bell rang,
but Ditmar too had vanished.

While wandering around one day, Ditmar happened to come upon the class
of 1959. He stopped a moment to listen.
Daily we scurry from class to class-increasing our wisdom and fulfilling
our life task.
Here in our early years of school life, we begin to learn and exercise the
true meaning of democracy and citizenship. We begin working together to make
our class better than any before us.
We look forward to the long years we still must face and we wonder if we’ll
ever become “lucky” Seniors. Then we think how fast this year has gone and how
much we have to look forward to. Suddenly we know we haven’t very long before we
will be Seniors. And so—we vow to make our future years memorable, just as this
one has been.
With this Ditmar, looking at the young prospects, nodded and walked on.

Ditmar joined the ninth grade early in the year when “Freshmen Fever” was
running wild through the classes. All the students were trying to act unimpressed
but in reality they were bubbling with enthusiasm over being freshmen. They felt
this was one of their most important years because it was giving the promise of
all the wonderful things the future school years had in store for them. Although
they were important members of the J. V. basketball and football teams and had
their own J. V. Cheerleaders, they longed for the added honor and responsibilities
of being members of senior high.
As Ditmar wandered through the ninth grade classes he was struck by the
difference in attitude between the boys and girls. The girls mouths were lavishly
arrayed in startling colors while the boys evidenced complete lack of interest in
their habits of dress. Ditmar couldn’t restrain from commenting that there must
be a sign on the wall saying that all ninth grade girls must wear lipstick and the
boys must act unconcerned about their clothes.

Ditmar, arriving early at the basketball game, was
intrigued at the versatility of fine, pretty girls. These
girls are the peppy and vigorous Junior Varsity Cheerlead-
ers. They are picked at the end of the football season
by the Varsity Cheerleaders and Miss Guast. After sev-
eral weeks of many new cheers and new motions the
J. V. Cheerleaders are ready to support the Junior Var-
sity basketball squad. Some of their new cheers this year
are; Victory, Sink ’Em High and Let’s Begin. Coach
Yell and T-E-A-M- they have changed with new mot-

The Pigskin Chasers is the oldest organization in Athens High School.
It was founded in 1921 and was formed to encourage athletic training
rules and sportsmanship.
A candidate for the club needs a letter in a varsity sport or cheerlead-
ing to be able to join the club. An initiation is required to join and this
event is looked forward to every year. This is one of the traditions of the
High School and is quite an affair.
For a good many years a charm was given to the senior members of
the club. In more recent years Sweaters were given to the seniors and any
underclassmen who obtained a letter could buy their own sweater.
The club raises money to pay for the senior sweaters by selling football
programs, and sponsoring dances and movies.
The club is under the competent guidance of Mr. John Childs and is
presided over by the All-Valley Halfback, John Goble.

As Ditmar walked hurriedly through the hall, he heard strange noises which
seemed to be coming from .the direction of the gymnasium. It sounded to him
as if someone was in great and terrible agony. As he pulled open the door--
there he saw Coach Childs kneeling besides two figures who were wrestling.
This aroused Ditmar's curiosity. He waited until the match was over to speak
to Mr. Childs. Here are some of the things that Coach Childs told him about
the club. First of all, the club is open to fellows from the ninth through the
twelfth grade. There is a very great and growing interest in wrestling which
was exemplified by the number of boys watching and waiting to wrestle. It is
not compulsory that you wrestle even if you are a member of the club, but
seeing that it is a sport that comes naturally, most boys that join soon enjoy
wrestling. The purpose of the club is to learn the fundamentals of wrestling
and various holds besides helping the fellows condition their bodies. Using
high school rules, they hold three minute matches, which are refereed by
Coach Childs. As Ditmar watch them wrestling again he thought to him-
self--"Gee, guess I want to learn to wrestle also."

7th and 8th CHORUS
We next find our cur-
ious spectator wandering
through the halls in the
direction of the music
room. As he peeked in
the window he was sur-
prised by a group of boys
and girls harmoniously
singing Christmas carols.
In answer to his inquiries
he learned that they were
the members of the sev-
enth and eighth chorus
who are under the direct-
orship of Miss Emma Wood.
The purpose of this organ-
ization is two-fold; to
create an active interest
in music and to increase
the students ability of ex-
pression.
9th CHORUS
Ditmar discovered
through still more in-
quiries, what had hap-
pened to the ninth
grade students. He
learned that the Junior
High Chorus had been
divided up into two
different groups because
of the large number of
students that were in-
terested. As a result,
the ninth grade chorus
was formed under the
talented leadership of
Miss Wood. The chorus,
which is aptly accompa-
nied by Danice Noldy,
meets during activity
period to practice sing-
ing various types of mu-
sic.

TRIPLE TRIO
The triple trio is a
select group of girls
from senior high school.
There are nine girls un-
der the direction of Miss
Wood and accompanied
by Alice Palmer. Dit-
mar walked in the mu-
sic room one day and
found them rehearsing
for one of their many
public appearances.
Triple Trio sings for
Spring and Winter con-
certs and for many out-
side organizations such
as Eastern Star and Ro-
tary. Ditmar was amazed
by their variety of songs
and by their outstanding
talent.

After lunch one Tuesday afternoon, an invisible
Ditmar, hovering over the fire escape, watched the flow
of pupils to fifth period classes. Sleepily he noticed that
the students entering the auditorium were not carrying
instruments that day. He flew down to investigate. From
his perch on the piano he learned that the sophomores,
juniors, and seniors, dashing after folders belonged to the
Mixed Chorus. His curiosity aroused, Ditmar chanted
his magic formula and became visible so that he might
talk to this chorus.

No one seemed at all startled to see him appear so
suddenly among them--they were getting used to the queer
little fellow. After greeting the director, Miss Wood, he
began asking them questions. He found that this main chorus
of the school meets every Tuesday and Wednesday fifth per-
iod, to perfect selections for programs such as the Christmas
Concert, Spring Concert, and Commencement; as well as
Senior Evening. Marcia Hammond and Danice Noldy, the
pianists, accompany the four part singing. It is from this
group that the delegates to District and County Chorus are
chosen.
Finally Miss Wood announced that practice really
must begin and asked Ditmar to take a seat back of the altos.
The chorus proceeded to sing a sweet and soft melody. When
the bell rang, the chorus members tiptoed out for Ditmar had
fallen asleep.
It was activities
period and our invis-
ible Ditmar, leaning
against the gym door,
watched the boys and
girls who were rushing
instruments into room
six. There Mr. Swet-
land was setting up
stands. Ditmar noticed
that none of the older
students were among
the group. He melted
through the door and
climbed on the desk
as practice began. Af-
ter a bit he realized
that this was the Junior
Band where seventh,
eighth, and ninth
graders gain experience
for Senior Band work.
He gave one small mu-
sician a shock by pick-
ing up the music on
the stand. Soon there
was a flutter of pack-
ing up to leave, and,
when the bell rang,
the room was truly
empty for Ditmar, too,
had vanished.

SENIOR BAND MEMBERS
DANCE BAND
This year, as every
other year, Athens stu-
dents are very proud of
the dance band. The
band is made up of stu-
dents from Athens High
School except for the
pianist who is from
Sayre. The band plays
at various dances here
at school and also for
out-side events. This
year three of its mem-
bers are playing in the
band for the last time.
We are all sorry to see
them go for although
they may be replaced-
they will never be
equaled.

The Brass Ensem-
ble is one of our newer
organizations, being
formed in the fall of 1953
by Mr. Rolston. It is
made up of our outstanding
players in the brass section.
They perform at our plays
and for various civic groups
of our town. The purpose
of this club is to provide
experience for advanced
brass musicians. This
instrumental group-- the
best in the school-- gives
them the chance to play
difficult and different
musical compositions.

The Athens High School Band, one of the best in the
school's history, opened the 1954-1955 season under the
able direction of their new leader, Richard Swetland.
Resplendent in their handsome royal blue and whiteuni-
forms, the band members put on a sparkling performance
at the football season opener with Carbondale. The
marching unit, consisting of sixty-five members, attend-
ed all of the games and provided music to cheer the team
on to victory. Some of the outstanding performances were
at the Sayre, Waverly, and Towanda games.
The annual money raising project for band instruments
and new suits consisted, this year, of selling magazines.
This venture was highly successful and they hope to con-
tinue it in the future. The money obtained from these
magazines helped to buy a baritone sax, typani, scotch
drum and a bell lyre.

The annual concert, held in February provides the op-
portunity to display talents and showmanship. This year
the concert is featuring several seniors. They will either
play solos or conduct the band.
The band is constantly in demand to play at special
assemblies and radio broadcast over W. A. T. S. Our
master musicians will attend County, District and State
Band in the spring.
This organization has done an outstanding job in re-
presenting our school this past year. With the new leader,
there is no limit to its further improvement.

The Student, council, the governing body of the
high school, is composed of members from all three
grades of the senior high school. Two girls and two
boys from each class are elected by the student body
for a term of either one or two years. There are al-
so representatives from each ninth grade homeroom
to sit in on the meetings in order to gain experience
in the years when they will be governing the school.
The meetings are held during the activity period
with Edward Rogers, the president of the high school,
conducting the meetings. Mr. Inman is advisor for
the council; John Fairlie, vice president; Judy Can-
field, Secretary, and Carolyn Lupton, treasurer.
The student council has headed many activities
this year, such as sponsoring dances and conducting
an annual tour of the school for the parents. At the
first meeting of the council the president appointed
standing committees to take care of various problems
which might arise during the school year. These
committees include a Rules Committee, a Public
Relations Committee, and a Project Committee.
The council was organized by Mr. Hazard and
has been upheld by the student body and their com-
petent advisors for thirteen years. The council aids
the sdrdent and teaches him democratic procedure
and respect for his fellow man.

Attention pleasel Dit-
mar seats himself upon the
P.A. panel and watches
the daily duties of a Public
Address operator. First he
sees the students transfer-
ring messages from both
offices throughout the
building. Later he finds
them playing records for
study halls, transmitting
programs for the lower
grades, and making gen-
eral announcements for
the high school students.
The P.A. operators have
been successful in working
the microphone for the
many extra curricular ac-
tivities around the school.
Ditmar takes the micro-
phone and says, "That is
all."

Movies are Ditmar's
biggest weakness and so,
naturally, he was very
anxious to visit our vis-
ual Aids Club. It was
so much fun learning
how the club members
ran the movie projector,
that Ditmar nearly ran
out of time. Before he
dashed off to another
club, however, he did
meet the officers--Pres-
ident, Jack Felt; Secre-
tary, Bruce Coston; and
Treasurer, Theron Allen.
The Visual Aids Club is
sponsored by Mr. Slick
and has been active
around A. H. S. for
quite a long while. The
members of this organi-
zation work hard in mak-
ing classes, assemblies
and club programs more
interesting in Athens.
“The first section must be finished by the
end of next month,” Mrs. Alger said to her inac-
tive Athenian staff. Within the next few minutes
pencils began to fly, the dummy began to be made,
and a theme began to exist. Through the confusion
of it all a spectator, Ditmar, watched calmly,
knowing that this efficient staff under the leader-
ship of co-editors Vern Horton and Judy Canfield
would complete the work before the deadline.
From the very first day the members of
the Athenian staff stepped into room 218 they were kept busy. First
came the theme, Ditmar, the comical character found throughout our
book. Then the dummy had to be drawn up. But that's not all! The work
had just begun. For each new section divider pages were needed. Sketch-
es of Ditmar were drawn by the art staff to illustrate his humorous opin-
ions and placed throughout the book. While the art staff was busy sketch-
ing, the literary staff spent many hours creating write-ups, drawing up
copyforms, and seeing that the pictures taken by Mr. West and Mr. Haz-
ard were stamped for positions and placed on the right pages.
After the write-ups were checked our effi-
cient typists spent many hours typing them on the
copyforms. Every now and then you’d hear one of
them say, “Now what do you suppose this word is?’’
Ah yes ! now you know why every word must be
typed.
However this work does not complete the
jobs of our Athenian staff. One of the most impor-
tant groups hasn’t been mentioned yet. This group
is known as the Business Staff. Without them and Mr. Martin, their ad-
visor, there would be no Athenian, for it takes money to publish a book.
Just how do they raise the money? They raise the money by soliciting for
patrons and advertisements.
As the last section of our Athenian is shipped to the publisher we
know that it will ever be a reminder of the wonderful years we spent at
Athens High.
Miss Arlene O'Neal, Mr. Harry Ayer
While wondering through the Athens High
School halls, Ditmar sees a notice on the bulletin
board.
"Don’t forget to order your Teaoganl”
"Now what," he wonders," is the Teaogan?"
Well Ditmar, the Teaogan is the school
magazine. It was first organized and published in
1947 and through the years has been growing bigger
and better. The material submitted is done entire-
ly by the students under the supervision of two fa-
culty advisors, Miss Arlene O'Neal and Mr. Harry
Ayer. The Teaogan's editor Barbara Phelps, as-
sistant editor, Marcia Hammond, sports editor,
Annettee Gergel and exchange editor, Melvyn
Cowher, all contribute extensively to the maga-
zine. The rest of the staff is composed of feature
writers, who handle special columns and articles,
the art staff, who draws the cover and illustrate
the magazine, and the students who do the typing
during their free periods. There are also students
not on the staff, who submit many articles.
Did you say it sounds like work, Ditmar?
It certainly isl Except for and occasional press
conference where members of the staff try to get
new ideas for bettering the magazine.

Each and every week a section of the
"Evening Times" is devoted to the news of the
valley schools--Waverly, Sayre, and Athens.
This plan helps to keep the students as well as
their parents informed of the many different
activities taking place in the schools. All forms
of school news such as dances, assemblies, con-
test winners and club meetings are edited.
Miss Quick, serving in the capacity of
advisor, has chosen her staff on the basis of abili
ties demonstrated in her English classes. The
classes themselves provide unabridged copy
for various articles.
The product of their efforts appears in
the "Evening Times" every Tuesday following
the previous Friday deadline. Everyone likes
to see his name in print, and this writing pro-
vides an opportunity for the staff to have their
names and their schoolmates names in the
paper. It is also excellent experience in jour-
nalism. The students rather enjoy the task and
look forward to the assignments.

"What a play!” said Ditmar, ”1 never
laughed so hard.” All those who saw this years
Senior Play, "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, ”
will certainly agree. The story was a group of
dramatized incidents from Emily Kimborough's
book of the same name. Emily and Cornelia
Otis Skinner, two nineteen year olds, make a
trip by ocean liner to France and as you know,
keep the audience in an uproar continually. The
play, which takes place in two different places,
begins in the girls' stateroom. The set next
moves to their hotelroom in Paris where Cardinal
Richelu's bed and its bedbugs steal the scene.
Under Mrs. Michael Volechenisky's capable di-

JUNIOR PLAY
"Meet Me in St.
Louis, " a comedy in
three acts under the
superb directorship of
Miss Marie Bean, was
presented by a star-
studded cast of sixteen,
who provided their au-
dience with continued
comedy throughout the
play.
The story, which
takes place in 1904 at
St. Louis, characterizes
a successful businessman,
who is offered a job in
New York City, then is
fired as a result of the
interference of his four
daughters. The girls don't stop here; They also manage to upset their brother Lon's love life.
Ditmar, our mysterious critic, offers his congratulations to Miss Marie Bean and the cast for the
tremendous job they did in presenting a most enjoyable and amusing play.

THESPIANS
Ditmar learned that the
Thespians are starting their
second year after being re-
organized here at Athens.
The troupe at Athens High
is No. 482 and was charter-
ed at Athens High School in
November of 1953.
This year the troupe in-
ducted new members in Jan-
uary.
To be a Thespian a per-
son has to have participated
in plays here at Athens with
a certain number of lines to
his credit.
The National Thespian
Society is a non-secret, non-
social, honorary organization.
The troupe has sponsored var-
ious programs, including the
Christmas program, various
radio broadcasts and special
assemblies.
Ditmar was voted an
honorary member of the Athens
Troupe and we know he'll try
to live up to the motto of "act
your part well, there all honor
lies."
70
Ditmar donned his sharpest evening
clothes and dashed to the A.H.S. GYM
at exactly 9:00 on Dec. 22. He was
overcome by amazement for there be-
fore his very eyes was truly a Winter
Wonderland. The theme of the prom
had been carried out to the very detail
with sleigh, snowman, skates, skies
and loads of snow. Even Don Alliger's
Band flowed right into the scene with
a variety of songs. Soon everyone was
in the wonderland mood. Time whizz-
ed by and before long everyone woke
up--back to the reality and off for home.
Truly, everyone enjoyed themselves
and even Ditmar agreed that this year's
prom was by far one of the best ever.

The French Club is one of the more re-
cently formed clubs, having been formed in
the fall of 1953 by the French I class under the
sponsorship of Miss Alice Quick. The sole pur-
pose of the club is to teach the students more
about French and the life of the French people.
In learning about the French the mem-
bers have film strips, oral discussion subjects,
and foreign pen pals.
Every club member has an opportunity to
take an active part in these programs by partici-
pation and planning.
Anyone who know or takes French may be-
long. With a membership of forty students this
year, the club meets during activity periods.
This year the president is Sylvia Sumner
with John Lynch serving as vice president. The
secretary is Nancy Casselbury and Sylvia Hugo acts
as the treasurer.

The future homemakers of America
is the national organization of pupils study-
ing homemaking in junior and senior high
schools of the United States. As an integral
part of the program of home economics in
the schools of America, it offers opportunity
for the future development of pupils initiative
in planning and carrying out activities related
to homemaking. The F. H. A. brings to-
gether state groups interested in and working
toward better home and family living, provides
opportunities to share in solving problems im-
portant to home life, and sponsors group pro-
jects, local, state, and national. It is on in-
corporated non-profit youth organization. It
came into being through the cooperative efforts
of youth enrolled in homemaking in secondary
schools in building a national organization of
their own in which they may develop social
qualities and promote better home life for its
members and their families.

The Future Farmers of America is a
nation wide organization to which most of the
agriculture boys belong. This year the officers
are Eugene Chaykosky, president; Ray Walter,
Vice-President; Dick Chilson, Secretary, Ken-
neth Payne, treasurer; Ronald Aumick, sentinel.
As Ditmar visits their meetings which are held
every other activities period, he finds the mem-
bers discussing such things as the trip to the
Bloomsburg Fair which they take in September.
They also attend the Harrisburg Farm Show in
January. Ditmar also hears them talking about
the boys whom they will send to represent Athens
at Penn State in June.
Athens High is very proud to have had
one of the senior F.F.A. members represent
them at the Dairy Judging Contest in Springfield,
Mass. The school is also proud to have many
other fellows who have entered and won in var-
ious contests. This year in a project contest,
Eugene Chaykosky won a blue ribbon for his
dairy project. Ray Walter won a pure-bred Hol-
stein calf for getting the most members for the
Holstein Association. Aubrey Cole was another
blue ribbon winner for his sheep project. In 1954
Fred Gregory and Ray Walters were silver medal
winners and Dick Chilson was a bronze medal
winner in dairy judging.
Eugene Chaykosky has been a delegate to
Pennsylvania F. F. A. State Convention from
Athens and through the supervision of Mr. Van-
Scoten, has done a very good job. We wish the
F. F. A. and Mr. Van Scoten the best of luck
and hope to have some more winners in the fu-
75 ture years.

Arriving at Athens High School in time for the first period, Ditmar found
himself sitting in a French class. Throughout the day he visited many different
classes, each representing a different course presented at Athens High. In each
of these he found the students eager to learn all they could about the subjects
they had chosen. During activity period the students went to an activity of their
own choice. Some of the students were cheerleaders, majorettes, Triple Trio
members, chorus members, band members and members of clubs organized by
various classes. Four Sophomores, who were chosen by their classmates, went
to Student Council Meetings, where they are allowed to vote for the first time.
“The Sophomore class is one place on the ladder to graduation where a
person is kept busy,’’ Ditmar stated “Ah - to be a Sophomore.’’

Here we find the sophomores
as they are engaged in the
courses which will prepare
them for their chosen careers.
Ditmarwas surprised to find
how interesting Mr. Baity’s
biology class was.
Ditmarwas very impressed
at the way Mr. Dill could
draw those straight lines in
Plane Geometry.
The business studentshave
their first year of typing

As the tardy bell rang Ditmar followed a group of Juniors into their class room
where he found them discussing the recent election. From their class JohnFairlie
was selected to be the president of the high school during their senior year. An-
other group was talking about the Junior play “Meet Me In St. Louis,’’ eachchoos-
ing a cast which he thought perfect. There is no need for explaining the confusion
in this group. During first period Ditmar found himself in study hall with some
Juniors who were examining the theme “Winter Wonderland’’ for the prom. They
were all excited over the possibilities offered, since this was the first winter prom.
As he followed them through their day he found himself in these classes, American
history, chemistry, solid geometry, English and many electives. In English class
the Juniors were discussing their class-ring selection and how pleased they were
with it. Ditmar predicts that these Juniors will be successful Seniors.

The Juniors are forging ahead
with the idea of next year’s
ease to help them wade through
their stacks of homework.
U. S. History -- History the
hard way--it’s easy making it
Both Ditmar and Mr. Pruyne’s
Chemistry students were struck
by the size of his muscles.
The way Mr. Martin ruled this
bookkeeping class with an iron
hand rated high with Ditmar.

Well we made it! As
Sophomores it seemed we would
never reach the top, but as we
look back it didn’t take long at
all. We can all remember our
first big event as Sophomores--
class elections. We certainly-
showed those upper classmen
what spirit was.
Then as Juniors we se-
lected the candidates for the vice-
presidency of the high school.
Our play, “Belles on Their Toes’’,
will never be forgotten. Most
memorable to the cast were the
cut ups during the Saturday night
performance and play practices.
We also had dances to teach the
Junior boys in preparation for
the prom. We really were drawn
together as a class in our efforts
to make the annual Junior-Sen-
ior Prom a success. Although
our theme, “King Neptune’s
Court, was highly praised byall
who attended the prom, the only
thing we Juniors had to saywas,
“I hope I never see another fish. ’ ’
Our big year began
when we moved into the front
rows in the auditorium. Next
came our senior pictures and
our senior play, “Our Hearts
Were Young and Gay’’. The
cast expected some jokes
among themselves and they
certainly weren’t disappointed.
Then a Senior Evening to top all
others was presented. The days
rushed by and all the seniors
felt the tension mountingas the
Athenian was presented, The
Senior Banquet was given and
Baccalaureate was held. Then
that day arrived--Graduation!
Without realizing it the year,
our last year, had slipped by.
Now we were ready, as the melo-
drama puts it, to go into, “the
cold, hard world’’. Althoughwe
may never all come together
again, we can look backand say,
“It was wonderful’’.
