Walter Huffman 1st to 4th Grades .Curtiss Duffield 5th to 8th Grades Mary Tompkins Subject Classes Herbert Reeder Advisor Miss Beulah Smith Editorial (Stafford Hansell) The surrounding condition of a building determines its beauty. A castle may be of beautiful architect ural design but if it were placed on a barren, desolate, sandy shore, its beauty would not be nearly so pro nounced as when its graceful lines blend in with running water, grassy slopes, trees, and flowers. A glance at a school surrounded by green grass, well kept shrubs, and a few trees, even if the school building is not exceptionally good looking, causes a feeling of prosperity. In contrast a building that is average when placed in a grassless, cinder covered ground loses a great deal of its attractiveness. A school building such as Athena has should cause admiration but in its drab surroundings it does not show up well. The cost of such an enterprise is comparatively small when its benefits are considered. Water costs little and sun light is free. Other school have lawns, why not Athena Hi! Honor Roll The following students earned a place on the honor roll of the Athena high school for the first six weeks period: Stafford Hansell, Doris Street, Mary Montague, Mildred Hansell, and Marjorie Douglas.
