mt K NX N1 Senior Class History ISTEN, and I will tell you the story — the wonderful, wonderful story — of the Class of 17. There was never a school so honored as C. H. S. when we, the Freshman Class, filed through the door of the “high sanc- tum.” Of course we were green, as all Freshies are, but with all our verdant color we were proud and very haughty — for Freshmen. Surely we trembled when we received a look of disgust from those haughty Seniors! Who would not?

This year we welcomed to our ranks Ethel and Pearl Eubanks, Hugh Hendrix, Mae Davis, Margaret Hubbard and Ellsworth Shoemaker, and with these additions launched bravely upon the sea as Sophomores. With these great improvements we soon became the leading class in C. H. S., carrying off many hon- ors in the school meet — honors not only for our- selves and class but also for “dear old C. H. S.” Not only did we excel in athletics but we led in the school festivities, giving a Weinie Roast and Sophomore-Freshman parties. But, alas! all fun must cease and we are entering the ranks of upper classmen. Oh, how proud we were to be Juniors! What glances of haughty disdain we cast at those poor, frightened Freshmen and Sophomores, entirely forgetting that we were once as green as the greenest Freshman and as stubborn as the most stubborn Sophomore. But it is human nature to forget such things and as everyone knows, we, the class, are all human. This year, without loosing any of our class- mates of the Sophomore year, we made one val- uable acquisition in Earl McKisson, from out the “Smoky City.” We welcomed this lad from the
