MR. MELL SPEAKS TO
STUDENTS AT CHAPEL ‘
‘ “The History of the Athens‘
|lligh School” was the subject!
Principal E. B. Mell used as the
basis of his informal talk at
chapel Tuesday, March 3, in the;
auditorium, 1
. Mr. Mell revealed that thxs{
year is the 50th year of the Athens |
school system, organized in 1886,
and that he had been connected
with it since the first day with
the exception of seven years.
When he first entered High school
}as a student, Miss Mary Bacon
\was his teacher and the high
}school building was located where .
ithe Georgian hotel is now situat
- ed.
In 1909 the Boad of Education
established Athens High school in
the building that is now used for
Junior High. The attendance
which was only 88 jumped to 156.
In 1913 Athens High school was
accredited by the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools
of the Southern States, and has
remained on the list since. In 1915
the school was movéd into the old
ccurthouse building, its present
\location. The enrollment increas
ed from 156 to 264, and the faculty
from 7 to 13.
The official stated that during
the war the school was placed on
a war basis. The manual training
classes, which were held then,
{ made war materials; and the
‘home economics classes, under
the direction of teachers trained
|in Red Cross work, made ban
dages, sweaters, etc., which were
sent direct to the war zones. In
one year 13,000 articles were made
|in this department. There were
| 227 graduates of Athens High
‘ school in the army and 126 were
. officers.
~ In 1893 there were only nine
graduates and in 1907 there were
still only nine. When Mr. Mell
became prnicipal in 1910 there
were 15, and in 1916 the number
{of graduates increased to 37.
According to figures brought out
} by Mr. Mell, there have been 1,916
- graduates of Athens High school,
and 1,292 of these entered col
lege. Ninety-six percent passed
~with good marks, while only four
- percent failed. Over a ten-year
period nine graduates captained
college athletic teams, and over &
nine-year period 67 finished col
lege with honors. From two to
six Athens High students were
elected to Phi Betta Kappa each
vear during this period of time.
Mr. Mell closed his talk by
saying that one year 11 students
Ygraduated from college with hon
ors and one was valedictorian.

MRS. CARLISLE COBB
ADDRESSES ART CLUB
“Art means really the history
of the world,” stated Mrs. Carlisle
Cobb in her talk on “The History
of Art’ delivered before the Art
club Tuesday, March 3, in Miss
Mamie Turnbull’s room,
“Art goes back as far as human
beings. The first we know of man
is after the last ice age,” said the
speaker. During this time prehis
toric man used wooden imple
ments to kill animals, but he soon
discovered how to utilize stone
which served his purpose better.
He then began to chisel his im
plements from rock and give them
a design which was the beginning
of art.
“Religion has always greatly in
fluenced art. Even when man
worshipped nature his pictures
were based on his religion. This
has continued down unto the
present,” stated the artist.
Mrs. Cobb brought out that
when man first began to take
care of himself he unconsciously
created architecture. Some of this
ancient construction is still stand
#ng today; for instance, the Egypt
ian pyramids. It was these peo
ple who first began building
strong homes with some sort of
decoration on them.
About a hundred years ago |
archaeologists found drawings |
and paintings shut up in caves. |
A!l of these works were done in |
ruvch which is responsible for their |
long preservation. !
The speaker concluded by say
ing that archaeologists are today’

Economy in Pontiac‘_
Line Noted If Cars
Are Severely Tested
A 1936 Pontiac six recently, av
eraged 26.25 miles per gallon of
gas for 100 hours of continuous
running at Independence, Kansas,
according to records submitted by
C. P. Simpson, general sales man
ager of Pontiac Motor company.
Regular grades of gaéo]xne were
used exclusively and the gas tank
was locked and sealed. Qne six
quart filling of oil was used with
a shrinkage of only one-half quart
during the entire run. These facts
were attested in an affidavit sign
ed hy the official observer of the
car’s gasoline and oil econsump
tion.
“The Pontiac dealer at Inde
pendence employed this 100-hour
economy run as a method of
bringing proof to the people in
his community of the facts about
(Pontiac economy that our factory
engineers prove time after time
in the gruelling tests that are in
process continuously at the Gen
eral Motors proving grounds at
Milford, Mich., said Mr. Simpson.
Economy of a 1936 Pontiac
master six sedan was demonstrat
ed recently in a series of test
runs over a measured three-mile
concrete track. Performances up
to 24 miles bper gallon of gaso
line were recorded, according to
Mr. Simpson.
Tests were run and gasoline
consumption recorded at 20, 40,
50, 60 and 70 miles per hour, the
best average being 25 miles per
gallon, The average for all speeds
from 20 to 70 was 17.7 miles per
gallon.
“Most motorists maintain an
average speed of from 40 to 50
miles an hour,” said Mr; Simp
son, “and at those speeds the
Pontiac showed the very good
economy of from 17 to 19 miles
per gallon of gas,
“The Pontiac straight eight did
almost as well for the same series
of runs with a high average of 22
miles per gallon and an average
for all five speeds of 16.35 miles
per gallon. At the normal driving
averages of 40 to 50 miles an hour,
gasoline consumption varied from
16 to 18 miles per gallon.
“Motorists must remember that
high speed means high gasoling
consumption and to get maximun
economy on gasoline, oil and wear
and tear the lower speeds give
the highest results.”
