MIC DUC. DUC =XK AK ■ MIC. . XK= DIIC DiKZ Senior Class History “a O F COURSE we began our Freshman year at C. FI. S. feeling just as important as a class ever did, but then we had a right to, for look who we were! Many new ones joined our ranks among them Mary Shank, who has proven herself a pearl of great value to all who know her. Feroll Moore, too, came to our class as a Freshman. Her recita- tions, which were wonders, have caused us all to sit up and take notice. After a year of fun mixed in with a little hard study, the time for exams, came. Of course we all dreaded them, for we had heard dreadful tales of C. H. S. exams, but we soon found that they were not so very hard after all. As Sophomores we came back with a sense of superiority but with a little dread, too, for it is al- ways quoted that the second year is the hardest of them all. One valuable acquisition gained was Mil- dred Wyatt. We set out with a good will, and strong determination to conquer all hardships. We soon found that our activities need not all be con- fined to studies, for at the first part of the year our Literary Society was organized. After the first attack of “Stage Fright,” everyone took a great interest in the programs, which were given every two weeks. All too soon it was time for exams, again. How proud we were to file in as Juniors! We came back with a much smaller class, but anyway, an “even dozen.” Even though we were sorry to lose so many of our class, we were glad to take in three new students: Treutlen Bailey, Robert Boyd and George Johnson. We were quick to find that there was even more in store for us than we had expected, for of all things, we were recognized by the Seniors and were taken more and more into their confidence. Many jolly times were had with them. Toward the end of our school year there was a dark cloud over all the High School for we learned that Mr. Smith, our High School principal, would not be with us another year. The Senior Class witnessed several changes in the Faculty. There were new faces instead of old to greet us. We were sorry to find that our kind friends of the previous year were with us no longer, but our best wishes have gone with them. Still there was a mighty resolve in the heart of each Senior that his class should stand like a beacon light for all coming generations. Having 3C X

1C XK xk escaped the tortures of our Junior year we longed with infinite longing to lend a helping hand to those poor youths and maidens who were about to enter on their course of probation. But as strang- ers we were powerless, so one pleasant evening, duly labeled, we entered the portals of the school, there to meet and mingle with our fellow students to be, for the coming year. That night the ties of friendship were closely bound. For further in- formation see a certain Senior boy who drives an “Oakland.” Soon the Juniors, grateful for what had been done for them, to show their appreciation did bid us all to meet with them on a certain night, at a certain hour, at a “Country Fair.” Many a heart XK :ic SIC XK XI that night was happy which had toiled for weary weeks. Others so full of glee exclaimed: “Back, turnbackward, O time in thy flight, Turn back the tick tock just for to- night.” We wish to compliment “certain people” for the active internal postal service carried on this year. Many a mystery has been solved this way. Now we prepare to leave our Alma Mater with its joys and sorrows, its pleasures and disappoint- ments. May the ideals which have formed in the period through which we have passed, determine our future as men and women. VERNA WHITTINGTON, ’18.
