The Athena Press urges patrons to support school efforts to improve attendance and punctuality. It cites state rules requiring 92 percent attendance and less than 2 percent tardiness for accreditation, warns of penalties for unexcused absences, and asks parents to curb tardiness and ensure student punctuality to safeguard credits and futures.
The column notes harvest progress with 95 580 sacks of wheat threshing by Fred Williams using an 82 inch machine. It also records a near hijacking incident near Pendleton, betting on political outcomes, local sales of wheat at 50 cents per bushel, and various community updates including new livery equipment and hunting. A salmon catch at Walla Walla and a Chinese riot in the city are mentioned alongside a postmaster absence and a saddle theft near Athena.
The article stresses that unexcused absences hurt grades and education and urges patrons and parents to cooperate with the Athena schools to ensure quality education. It mentions LEEA and MEYER as superintendent reference.
The document includes the Report of Condition for First National Bank at Athena Oregon dated October 10 1927 listing assets and liabilities with attestations by cashier F S LeGrow.
