SE lun III. 55 ' Our hearts were young and gay way back in '44 when the class of '48 entered dear old CUHS. To start the year off with a big bang Jimmy Foster was elected president. The big events for that eventful year were the box social, freshman-sophomore party in the fall, the return party the freshmen gave the sophomores in the spring, and the first assembly sponsored by this class. The second year began with electing John Brothers president, and Roy Nevins took the oFfice for the second semester. That year another assembly was presented in May which was a big success. Other highlights of that year were the Soph Hop and the annual class party. Jerry Collier was elected president the first semester of the junior year and Richard Soares was president the last half of the year. That year the class sponsored its first play, Cyclone Sally, which was a huge suc- cess. Sunburns and straight hair were the glowing results of the party at Yosemite Lake which the seniors gave for the iuniors. Everyone agreed that he had a wonderful time in spite of the consequences. A semi- formal dance which was well attended helped provide some needed money for the class. The climax of the activities for this year came with the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was Deep Purple and this affair cer- tainly topped off the iunior year. The senior year was started by presenting the play, The Whole Town's Talking. The class had a dance on April 2, iunior-senior party in the spring, and senior ditch day which none would have missed for any- thing. Yet, the biggest event for most seniors was baccalaureate, the prom, and graduation. Baccalaureate services were held June 6, and commencement was June 8 when caps and gowns were worn at CUHS for the first time. JIMMY BEAVER President LEFT TO RIGHT J. Phillips V. Felder J. Beaver F.

Zurilgen SENIUH PLAY THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING The annual senior play was presented on December fifth under the direction of Miss Lois Burch. lt was a hilarious, three-act comedy farce. Miss Burch became ill before the play was to be staged, but the students gave a dress rehearsal, the matinee, and the Friday night performance. The plot evolved in this manner: Ethel Simmons is determined that Donald Swift, floppish Frenchman, is the man for her as she wants o man of the world. The mixup begins when the father decides she should marry his partner, Chester Binney, an absent minded drudge of thirty-tive years, who admits to have had a love affair with Letty Lythe, a famous movie star.
