THE CHERADO-1924 day and fades away forever. So, fellow students, make the best of your glory while the sun is shining. A fellow never realizes what joys and friendships abound in school life until they are gone. After school days are past the joyous and happy hours come back but how differently. They come in your memory to flit like the blue birds of happiness, just beyond your grasp ever to taunt you. Beautiful indeed but oh, so vague, so remoteg they arouse a pleasurable pain which is bitter even though 'tis sweet. Do not expect to find your pathway strewn before you with roses when you must engage in the grim realities of life. I wish to extend a hearty congratulation to all of you and may your future have in store the best there is in this life. CLAUDE RICKMAN '23. Los Angeles, Calif., May 1, 1924. Students of C. H. S.: Hello folks. Say, it doesn't seem like a year since I was a stu- dent of C. H. S. But the calendar says that it has been, but I am sure that my feeling of loyalty and pride for C. H. S. has not changed in the least, and during the basketball season, why, I would tingle all over, when I read the account of the games. How I would like to trot out on the floor with the bunch again. You should try to enjoy your school life while you may for soon, Qahl too soon, we are all Alumni, with only a treasure of pleasant memories. To the Senior class I extend my hearty congratulations, and may the sunshine of happiness and success beam on all of you. Sincerely, CECIL C. WADE '23 PQ

THE CHERADO-1924 Alumni Section Doylestown, Pa., April 12, 1924. Dear Students of the C. H. S.: Here I sit with pen uplifted wondering what would interest you most. It does not seem possible that a year has almost passed since We left Colorado, but through it all I did not forget the C. H. S. and feel proud of the record it made this year. I should like to be present at your Commencement exercises but my letter will have to be sufficient this time. We had a very nice trip to Pennsylvania. We were watching for the various land marks, changes in vegetation, historical places. and different characteristics of the people. We noticed the very black soil of Illinois, the swamps of Indiana, the marshes of Ohio which had been burning a few years before. We spent a short time on the battlefield of Gettysburg. We did not see great differences in the people until we crossed the mountains. Here we met the Pa Dutch. In fact there are very few who do not have the Dutch twang in their speech. We are living about 25 miles north of Philadelphia. The farms are small and the towns are only a mile or two apart. All main roads are either paved or water bound. Most of the people work in fac- tories. Every couple miles you find the Little Red School House. The state is making rapid' strides in improving her educational system. Some consolidated schools are being introduced. I am teaching in a little country school where the boys sit on one side and girls on the other. My first grade could not speak English until they entered school, but are getting along very nicely. My school will close the second of May, after which I will have a month vacation and then expect to attend a nine week's course at the Millers- ville State Normal. Wishing the greatest of success to the Seniors and a prosperous year to the C. H. S., Addio. ADA THUT. Rocky Ford, Colo., May 6, 1924. Class of '24, C. H. S.: Hello Everybody. I almost envy you folks because I know what you are going through, but I don't believe you realize what an- other year Will bring forth. . School days after all are like a lovely flower which blooms for a
