Our Diary of senior year records some rather important events ..... For instance, when we walked through the doorway to C. C. H. S. in the fall of '54, we were anticipating a gay yet busy final year, It is true, we did not sponsor any major projects like the prom, but we did arrange for freshman initiation, We imposed unique and awful methods of torture that memorable Friday night, And yet it was all in fun and perfectly harmless, too, Oh, yesl There was the chili supper, too, What fun that was! It seemed that everyone ate more chili than he had t is Mr, Johnson and Miss Peterson were our sponsors this year I6 ever eaten before, The proceeds certainly helped our class funds! Our sponsors, Miss Peterson and Mr, Johnson, did much toward assisting us with these projects. Around homecoming time we took the lead over the other classes as we chose our candidates, Marilyn Robinson and Paul Moon, who became king and queen of the festivities, and Donna Smith and Roger Echelberger, the senior candi- dates, Next on our list of memorable events was the Viking Carnival, We seniors were in charge of most of the committees and played an important part in the planning, We like to think we have this privilege because we have learned and prac- ticed dependability and co-operation a little longer than the underclassmen, Our candidates for the traditional royalty were June Peterson and Virgil Larson, The end of the school year brings prom, Following that, graduation, Then we must close the book that symbolizes this part of our education, But this gesture is not a sad one, for graduation opens new doors for us, doors to all kinds of trades, jobs , and professions, And we are young and willing and enthusiastic, another group of typical young Americans, eager to prove we can make our way,
