SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Each year brings us nearer to our goal, and here we are Seniors almost before we know it. When Freshmen we found no help, because we were not of the chosen few, but were only green freshies , but a ripening group. Our officers for the Freshman year were: Gladys Holmes, president, Rose Sill, vice presidentg Eleanor Reagon, secretary and treasurer. The first year passed and many received the blessings of intellectual and athletic ability and were much conceited. The Sophomores were well represented between the goal posts and on the basketball and track squads. Then came a call, loud and clear for a Dial representative and behold we had a mighty representative, Gladys Holmes. That year Gerald Kennedy was president, Otis Phillips, vice presi- dent and Paul Sisney, secretary and treasurer. We now felt that we would be well qualified to take the world in our hands and make it our own. As Juniors we came back to dear old C. C. H. S. with high expectations, and we lived up to them. We elected a peppy set of officers, namely, Harry Deck, president, Ellen Matthews, vice presidentg and Madelyn Scott, secretary and treasurer. Members of our class were on the football squad and basketball team that took the Southern Illinois Conference Title. We showed the Seniors how to put on a real J unior-Senior banquet. This year we came back with higher expectations, a far wiser and better class than ever before. We elected a set of officers who were real go-getters , namely Sponsor, Miss Weirg President, Harry Lutz, Vice presi- dent, Lucille Whalen, and Gladys Holmes secretary and treasurer. Al- though we went through trials and tribulations we at last succeeded in having a Dial, with a promise and determination to come out on the top. To top our year off we had the best football team going for we BEAT MURPHY for our first time, and the captain was a member of our class. Then our basketball team went good after having a hard time getting started. Our path appeared long and more rugged from below, for we saw only the dark side of our obstacles. Now as with the light on our side we look down on the trodden path, and 'it is transformed by our efforts. Then voices spoke, and sheepskins were delivered unto us, which were truth- fully won. From our new position we see rising beyond us a higher peak which we will work on to diligently, and be awarded with many gifts and great honors. Here's to the graduating classes yet to come, and may they see the faithful guiding star. U Madelyn Scott mid Page twenty-five
