Mighty arriors Prepare for Life Anew As we look back to September Ii, 1949, when 193 of us started to school in our Freshman year, our memories recall the wonderful four years welve spent in C.H.S. XVe were delighted to attend our annual Frosh Gym Party, and we began leeling more at home. even though those upperclassmen seemed large and strange to us. In our Sophomore year we were very enthused over our annual Sophomore Carnival which was a very successful as well as loads of lun. Then we went further to have a Sophomore play called Ru- mors Y'Vanted which also was a big hit. Returning to school in our Junior year we felt more important and proud as now lower classes looked up to us. NVe went through this year accept- ing our responsibilities and making our lirst formal dance with the theme Showboat held in the cafe- teria. The Divine Flora was a comedy that ran two nights sending the audience out smiling with misty eyes. Then ever onward with the tide of progress we entered our Senior year. What a thrill it was! X'Vit11 great expectations we looked toward graduation and many of us counted the days when we'd be on our own. ln the meantime we all kept busy with various activities. Our Senior Play called The Night of .january 16 which was a court trial, kept us all thinking if the .jury was right in its verdict. And how could we forget our trip to Olympia! On February 19, 1953, three busses unloaded on the Capitol grounds and we headed lor the Legislature in action. NVe saw the House ol' Representatives and also the State Senate. XVe then went through the capitol and clear to the top ol' the dome. The winding stairs were thrilling and lots of lun. lt was from this trip that we were inspired to present our school with the llag of the State ol XVashington. May 1 ended the lormal dances, as we Seniors presented South Pacific. It was beautilully deco- rated with tropical scenes. XVeyerhaeuser Timber Co. invited us to spend a day in the logging camp. On May 7 we donned our jeans and jackets and learned some ways of the woods. School seemed to fade away as in no time at all our annual Senior Picnic appeared. Everyone had his own way on May 21, to Ollut Lake. A recrea- tion program was enjoyed by all. The Baccalaureate was upon us. 1Ve walked slowly down the aisle on Sunday night, May 24. 19555. Our last big experience happened on the night of May 28, 1953. Commencement ended as 130 Sen- iors received their diplomas. This was a sad happy ending to the Class ol' 1355. Page 17
