Jamie Nall John Gunn Amelia Tucker “None knew thee but to tove thee. None named thee but to praise.” “Peg” is reliable and wise, too, and a most popular member of our class. Preston Bishop “For a noble mind is always well content.” A good sort of a fellow, and one who makes every moment count. Olivia McKenzie Her price is far above rubies.” An independent, reliable, talented and studious lass that we all love, is “Sis.” Twelve Iiirtceii Lois Wynkoop “Take oh, take those lips away. Lois can always see the other per- son’s side and is jolly and original; has time for every phase of school and social life. Edwin Pemberton “Our staunch good friend is he, To him our praise shall be. Ed. never starts anything he can’t finish. He is always generous, cour- teous and good hearted. Laura Thomas From the crown of her head to the sole of her shoe, she is all mirth. Laura is a friendly, studious girl and therefore, a favorite with all. Maurice Blanton “One who never turns his back, but marches forward.” Maurice is an all-round good fellow. He is fond of athletics and a favorite with the ladies. Sadie Rawles “For she is wise she is and true.” and fair, Talented, studious and sensible, Sadie is a musician for whom we have great hopes. Vida Hudson “And she is grown so dear — so dear!” We don’t appreciate what a treas- ure we have in Vida. Her chief occu- pation is in helping others. Fourteen Elna Madson “Everybody’s friend.” Some one once said, “If you can’t find anything good about some one, never say anything.” That seems to be Elna’s motto, for she finds the best in us all. Candler Coachman “I know him of a noble mind.” Logical minded and reasonable. Candler is a good student and is well liked. Janie Miller “Those about her, from her shall learn the perfect ways of honor.” Sweetness of disposition and friend liness are Janie’s chief characteris- tics. She has been here just a year but is a general favorite. Sixteen John Gunn All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” John, too. He must have his fun and his “last word,” but when there’s work to be done we look to him. Mildred Gould Her air, her manners, all who saw admir’d ; Courteous, though coy, and gentle though retir’d.” Mildred hasn’t been with us long, but we all love her for her friendly, thoughtful ways. Janey Humphreys “A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or touch not the Pier- ian Spring.” Always busy — Janey does well at whatever she turns her hand to. Seventeen Bertha Springer In her tongue is the law of kind Bertha is the kind of a girl that we like better as we know her more. She is studious and industrious and stands well in all her classes. Arlos Ogg “His honor and the greatness of his name, shall be and make new nations.” Arlos is very intelligent, excells in mathematics and is of an optimistic turn of mind. William Smythe “He sang those witty rhymes.” Never excited or worried, “Bill” always manages to be busy about something. Eighteen Madeline Lentz “Her very frowns are fairer far, Than smiles of other maidens are.” A quiet unassuming girl who is never the less well known to us all and is a great favorite with her friends. Hugh McMullen “Is this not a rare fellow?” Hugh is always the same light- hearted, cheerful student, ever ready to lend a helping hand and as merry as the day is long. Ethelbert Morton “He can’t be wrong- whose life is in the right.” Truthful, frank and industrious, Ethelbert is always seen (??) study- ing. Winnie Kilgore y j “With faith that comes of self- control.” ' Winnie has been a faithful member - L ' and cheerful worker for our class. Metta Rousseau “Blithe as the lark that each day hails the morn.” Metta is an irrepressible, good natured girl and is loved by all. Walcott Wyllie “Stand to your work and be wise.” This music loving, industrious boy did not enter our ranks until our Senior year, but his sportsmanship has insured his welcome. Mildred Spotts And in short measures, life may perfect be.” “Spotts,” frank, sensible little maid fits perfectly the couplet “Short and sweet, dainty and neat.” Senior Glass History | WAS a hot September morning when at last the doors of C. H. S. were opened by “Uncle Harry,” the janitor. What a rush was made by the new arrivals (Freshies, of course), clad in the distinctive green. Soon our greenness wore off by the help of the wise (?) Sophs and dear old “J. I.” (Mr. Reece). Many things we did to make our first year a success in spite of the many changes of teachers. Even though we were only Freshmen we showed our ability in getting things done and proved to be the “Legion of Honor” in winning the trophies of the year. School was closed for a month because of the influenza epidemic, preventing many school events which might have been. However, the Annual Freshman Picnic was given at Wall Springs with great success and will long be remembered by one especially, W ayman Becker, as the “hero of the hour;” Jamie by the loss of an new suit, which Mr. Reece ruined endeavoring to eat a raw egg. When September rolled around again very dignified (?) full-fledged Sophomores began another year of toil (?), many old familiar faces having vanished and new ones there instead. The first few weeks were brightened by teasing the new “greenies,” but soon we settled down to hard work including “beloved Algebra, Latin, etc.,” much to the relief of the teachers. The girls and Miss Hall founded for ,C. H. S. the first Cafeteria which proved a great success and a benefit to all, entertaining at the close of the year in honor of the faculty with a very formal dinner. Another in the girls’ crown was the wonderful success of a delightful little comedy they gave, entitled “Sophronia’s Wedding.” Our boys won great fame for our class in athletics and deserve a great deal of credit. We had a chicken pilau once in a while and our boys were always so considerate, generous and free with their money, that we girls never had to worry about a thing. Our last beach party was a startling success, thanks to the help of our chaperones, who were so kind as to think up some of their childhood games and rehearse them. After having a “cream” of a time our party ended at a reasonable hour and we arrived safely home after picking up “wanderers” here and there on the bridge. Once again we entered the doors of old C. H. S. beginning a new Twenty-two year and determined to do our best the two remaining years. Among the missing was one who had been with us for a long time. Illness caused her absence and Monna’s death was a great sorrow to us all. Among the many successful social events of this year was the Junior-Senior Hallow’een Frolic, given at the home of Miss Amelia Tucker. Need I speak of it. You can imagine the splendid success it proved. We, the Juniors, entertained the Seniors ’mid garlands of old rose and silver at the Sea Ora Lodge with a formal reception. Naturally it proved a success for the class of ’22 presided as hostess ! On September 12, 1921, we answered the call of books and came once more for the last time, to be enrolled as students of the C. H. S. We then occupied the seats at the west side of the Assembly, and our class showed up fine as we launched forth in our Senior year. Basket Ball season brought out loyal Senior players and rooters. Both teams were practically composed of Seniors and brought much honor to the Class of ’22 and to the High School. Our social events started off with a “jump” by the Juniors giving the Seniors a masquerade party at the home of Elizabeth Cornwell. The evening was spent in playing “kid” games and refreshments of cheese wafers, fruit salad and punch were served. We surprised the school by giving a “Mock” Christmas tree and presents were given to the Faculty, Juniors and the presidents of the other two classes. To the Freshman President, Ruth Mighell, was given a bottle of milk with a large green ribbon tied around it, and the Sophomore President, Palma Hamilton, received a pair of specta- cles. Various other presents were received. In January, we gave the Juniors a party at the Community House which seemied to be enjoyed by all present. We were royally entertained by the Juniors with a reception at the Sunset Point Tavern, April 28th, and w’hat a menu ! It certainly was devoured by all present. This winds up our history as C. H. S. students. No matter how full our lives may become as the years quickly pass by, the events of the four years at Clearwater High will always be a cherished memory. —MILDRED GOULD, ’22. Twenty- three Senior Farewell $ $ We are Seniors, friends and classmates, And “adieu,” we soon must say; But our hearts are ever loyal, To the crimson and the gray. You say we count the hours till, That great Commencement Day? Yes! But as the time draws nearer, Swifter goes each passing day. Four years we’ve toiled together, Plodding onward toward success, Always mindful of our object, “Do your best for ,C. H. S.” We have tried and struggled onward, Some of us may work in vain, But we’ll help to crown with laurels, Those, who honors shall obtain. We do not like the day of parting, When we’ll draw one lonesome sigh, And say farewell to dear old classmates, And depart from Clearwater High. We must not forget that others, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, all, Will most too soon be Seniors, And our parting they’ll recall. Let us make our farewell, classmates, Not a sad one, but be gay. That we ever will be mindful. Of the Crimson and the Gray. So farewell, dear High School classmates, As we’re tried, so may you try, To honor and respect the name Of old Clearwater High. —LAURA THOMAS. Twenty-four Senior Oracle $ s $ There on the table lay a book, bound in the forbidding colors of death, black, and the title though short conveyed to my mind unpleas- ant memories and dire forebodings. Yes, tomorrow would tell the tale — pass in Physics and graduate, or fail and flunk. The clock stared at me as I looked up, as if it was thinking that eleven p. m. was pretty late for a fellow to be staying up who expected a hard test the next day. But I had to study or failure was a foregone con- clusion, so I resigned myself to fate, wearily picked up the book and settled back in the chair for another hour’s study. I was working along trying to salt down enough knowledge to pass tomorrow’s quiz, when my thoughts began to turn toward my school pals. One more week and we should separate, scattering to the uttermost parts of the earth. Where would we be, and what would each of us be doing in five years? Thoughts of the old school days, Physics and the future chased themselves around in my mind. I turned a page and yawned, for I was sleepy. Suddenly my flesh began to creep, for the page that 1 had just turned began slowly and evenly to turn back again and there stood a tiny little man with a cheery, sophisticated countenance. He gave me a reassuring smile and said, “I have just received a thought — telegram from you wishing for my presence that you might learn what the future held in store for your companions.” I struggled to speak and he noticing it said, “No, don’t try to talk, for if you do I will depart and then you will have no knowledge of the future. I am the only spirit tha t can tell the future. The king of spirits appointed me and every year I tell one of every graduating class the future of his comrades.” Being very proud of the honor bestowed upon me, I resolved to keep silent and hear the future. “To get down to business (and he was a very business-like little fellow), I believe you desire to see your companions as they will be five years from now. Now pick me up and place me in your pocket, for we are going on a journey.” I quickly placed him in my pocket, his head just reaching over the top. Immediately we were in a large auditorium, where Willie Lou, dean of the college was talking to a crowd of attentive girls. Next the spirit conducted me to a large office where Vida Hudson held the Twenty-five position of office manager. In the same city Winnie held sway over the eighth-graders. “Next,” said the spirit, “You will see one who is loved by my world.” The scene faded and we found ourselves in the Mayo Brothers Hospital, and there was Mildred Spotts ministering to the patients. “The next visit will interest you,” said the spirit, and before us came the scene of a girl’s basketball game, and who should be the coach of the winning side but Metta, the star of C. H. S. The spirit spoke hurriedly, “Someone is calling me and I will leave you at a con- cert till I return.” So speaking he disappeared, and the sound of music came to my ears. There was a wonderful band, so large that it completely filled the great stage, and the entire audience was listen- ing with evident delight. The selection ended, the leader turned and bowed amid hearty applause, and the one whom I recognized was none other than Edwin Pemberton. “We must hurry,” said a familiar voice, “For I have been called to show another the future of his class.” My little friend was again in my pocket and we were outside in the street. A handsome woman passed, and although her face was strangely famliliar, I did not recognize her until a passerby remarked to his companion, “There goes Miss Rawls, who is considered one of the best Y. W. C. A. workers in America.” “I know you are wondering about Amelia Tucker,” said my com- panion, and there before our eyes was a magnificent library with our own Peg head librarian.” I heard the sound of a well-known voice, and looking up saw Arlos explaining a problem in Calculus to a crowd of wondering college students. Next we came to the crowded streets of New York and the spirit directed me to a newsstand where my gaze fell upon a copy of the New York Sun. There on the front page was the headline, “Miss Louise Schenck will be at the Metropolitan Opera tonight with her troupe.” Just below was a notice to the effect that Miss Laura Thomas, who had written so many interesting poems and essays was again at work after a short illness. “Paris, next stop,” gaily said the spirit, and leaving New York we found ourselves in the busiest section of that great city. My attention was attracted by a sign painted on the window, “MISS WYNKOOP, Designer. The place was filled with people and seemed to be doing a fine business. While we were standing there Lois came out, looking much the same as in the old days of ’22. “Another long jump,” said my comrade, and at a gay house party in South America, we found Janie Miller and Janie Humphreys. Soon John and Candler came in from the day’s work, for they were superintending the building of a railway, and the girls were there on a vacation. Again we crossed the sea, and caught a glimpse of Jamie, who was head of the Florida Lumber Trust, having made a great success in this line. My thoughts turned to Maurice, and my guide, guessing what was in my mind, said: “Now we will have a little excitement.” The shrill sound of the referee’s whistle again thrill me, as in the old school days, and before us were the teams of Pennsylvania and New York, playing for the championship of the United States. The crowd was cheering wildly, for the score was tied, and only one minute before the final whistle. Every man was doing his best, and both teams worked like well oiled machinery. The right guard for Penn State was doing especially fine work, breaking up the play every time the struggled eddied to his end of the floor. The refeiee s whistle shrilled. “Pennsylvania out.” Quickly the right guard snapped the ball back into play, but not too quickly for me to recognize our old C. H. S. star Maurice. From that instant my very soul was in the game forty-five seconds to play. Again the shrill sound. “Foul on Pennsylvania.” The New York forward picked up the ball, and with a gvin on his face, easily sent it through the basket. Pandemonium reigned fifteen seconds to play and New York one point in the lead. Knowing it was a dangerous but only chance, the Pennsylvania center signalled for the right guard to shoot. Up rose the ball at center, the Pennsylvania left guard taking it almost from the centei s hands, he passed it to Maurice, who was running swiftly down the side-line. A guard barred the way, but too late, for the ball rose in a perfect arc and swished gently through the net. A mighty yell lent the air, mingling with the time-keeper’s whistle, and Penn State and Maui ice had won!” My companion became excited and exclaimed: ‘ My time is neail.v up, so I will have to tell you of the rest. I rebelled at this and essayed to speak, but he held up a warning finger and proceeded: “Elna is now a successful teacher of language at Smith College for Women. Ethelbert, having invented a tractor, organized a company and became its head. Olivia has made a phenomenal success as an elocutionist, and is at present traveling with the Redpath Chautauqua. Ralph is a traveling salesman for Goodyear, and is one of their most valued men. Annie Mae has given her lift to the care of oiphan children and is the loved matron of a children’s home. Preston startled the agricultural world a few years back by his wondex-ful discoveries about plant life, and is giving lectures on his work all over the country. Mildred Gould has made a name for herself in the musical world, and goes every year to the largest cities to give recitals. Madeline Lentz is married, and annually visits several of the old Class of ’22, among them Bertha, who is the proprietor of a large hotel at Atlantic Beach. Hugh married the gii l he courted so assiduously for two years, and haying made a fortune in the cattle business, he is enjoying life with his family at the old place near Clearwater. Bill Smyth is a wireless operator at Cape Cod, in the employ of the government, and is a trusted official. Walcott Wyllie went to sea when he left school and has worked up to the captaincy of a Clyde Line steamer. As to join future, the years will reveal that, and my time is up — farewell!” My eyes rested on the open Physics book, and smiling I leaned back m the chair and said to myself, “Well, even if it was a dream, surelv it was a pleasant one.” —LAWRENCE RAY.

H. S. with “our hearts” in our mouths, but with our “chins” up. The Sophs humbled themselves a wee bit and “advised” (?) us to the required and best subjects for “Freshies.” By Hallow’een we had begun to feel as though we were “Cogs in the Wheel of Old C. H. S.,” and we thought we could successfully give ourselves a party. Had it not been for Miss Huddleson’s bravery in “shooing away the would-have-been thieves,” I am afraid it would have been a party “without the soul — the eats.” Later in the term the Sophomores gradually descending from their superior attitude, gave us a party in the “usual way.” I n June, how glad we were to see our reports and four credits to help us to our goal. As Sophomores, we looked down on the “New Freshies,” as green or greener than we had been the year before, forgetting we were only Sophs. The Sophomore girls did splendid work helping Miss Hall with the Cafeteria. It seemed that we had hard luck because we couldn’t keep an Algebra teacher very long (whether it was us or the teacher, we do not know). We looked forward hopefully to June when our Sopho- more year would end and we could consider ourselves Juniors. Our Junior year has been the busiest and most successful year so far. Some of our members were honored with offices on “The Annual Staff.” We have forgotten this year of the Sophs, and Freshies, but look at “the Seniors and sigh,” envying them. To start good times again, we gave the Seniors a Hallowe’en party at Elizabeth .Cornwell’s home on the bay. The Seniors, in January, entertained us with a delightful party at the Community House, which was enjoyed immensely by every Junior present. Now our Junior year is at an end, and we look forward with much pleasure to our Senior year, when we will have more responsibility, more good times, and a better chance to show our love for old C. H.

H. S. in September, 1920, the largest class that had yet entered the High School. We were “green” and frightened at first, but with the aid of the Faculty and the obliging Sophs., we in time settled down. This year was a great success. The most important event was our Hallowe’en party (although the punch was sugarless, for it was in the sugarless days), we all had a big time, to say nothing of the good time we had at the “weinie roast” the Sophomores gave. After a year of hard work we were ready at the beginning of the present term to assume the responsibilities of dignified Sophs. Our class has turned out several players on the basket ball and base ball teams who are doing their big share for athletics in C. H. S. Our girls are running the Cafeteria up to perfection this year and our Cafeteria cooks would be a credit to any school. We entertained the Freshmen at a party given at the Community House and they in turn gave us a beach party, both of which were enjoyed by everyone. This year our class has been enlarged by the entrance of quite a few new students and we all hope that when our class graduates we will all go out together. Our minds are now set on getting our credits to become a Junior and to do more next year for C. H. S. than ever before. ALBERT ROGERS, ’24.

The success of the play was largely due to the advice and competent direction of Miss Elsie Kilgore and Miss Louise Smith. The play, “Engaged By Wednesday,” was a farce in three acts. A young couple are bethrothed by their respective Mammas. Being- unknown to each other, neither likes the idea and each persuade three friends to masquerade under their names for three days. The result- ing “mix-up” is bewilderingly funny and an exciting maze of circum- stances follow. Music and entertainment between acts was furnished by Mildred Gould, Janie Miller, John Gunn, Edwin Pemberton, Metta Rousseau and Hugh McMullen.

Aunspaugh Rousseau McKenzie Schenck Springer Allen Mighell Forty-six 19211922 Girls’ Basket Ball Season $ «� T HE SEASON opened with practically a new team, and two first class coaches, Miss Elsie Kilgore, who was with us last year, and Miss Marie Mixon. Metta Rousseau was elected captain and proved herself even better than the previous year as “star” forward, and with her as leader the team did splendid team work. Margaret Mighell as business manager, proved worthy of the position. Olivia McKenzie, Forward : Was one of the most valuable assets of the team. Olivia played on the front line and never missed a ball that came her way. She did good team work, and was always on the job. Louise Schenck, Jumping Center: Louise being tall used her heighth to the best advantage and by her quickness saved the bal from the opponent’s line many times. Louise Aunspaugh, Running Center: Aunspaugh was quick and active, and always succeeded in getting the ball over to the forwards. She will be back next year and good work is expected of her. Bertha Springer, Guard: Bertha proved herself a willing worker, and was always on the job at practice time, and never “kicked” unless she had a cause. Amy Allen, Guard: Amy was one of the strongest on the team, and was excellent on sending the ball over center when it was neces- sary. Amy will also be back next year and we know that she cannot be beat. Great credit should be given the Subs: Vida Hudson, Amelia Tucker, Janie Humphries, Mildred Spotts and Edna Madson. And through their loyal support the team was made a success. The season as a whole proved to be a very good one and put C. H. S. on the map. Special mention should be given in the splendid team work in the St. Pete game, and as this is only the second year that C. H. S. has had a girls’ team, it helps to prove what the succeeding teams can do. We “hitch our wagon to a star, ,, and although we did not succeed Forty-elgrht in reaching the top, ’tis better to have aimed high and lost than not to have aimed at all. — METTA ROUSSEAU, Captain. s $ e s Girls’ Basket Ball Schedule: Clearwater Opponents Nov. 18 — Clearwater at Zephyrhills 19 2 Dec. 3 — Largo at Clearwater 63 3 Dec. 9 — At Southerland with St. Pete 14 20 Dec. 16 — Clearwater at St. Pete 12 10 Jan. 13 — Clearwater at Plant City 17 4 Jan. 21 — Bradentown at Clearwater 13 14 Feb. 5 — Clearwater at Largo 36 11 Feb. 17 — Plant City at Clearwater 8 9 Feb. 24 — Clearwater at Bradentown 7 10 Totals 189 83 —RALPH TROTT ’22, Athletic Editor. HOYS HASKETT II A 1,1. TEA 1 Base Ball $ $ $ G LEARWATER HIGH SCHOOL started her base ball season with six men of last year’s team and had a hard time finding the other four. Ficht, Nall, Blanton, Trott, Padgett, and Cleghorn are the remains of last year’s team. The old players are improved by experience and the new ones are developing rapidly. The prospects seem bright for a good record. Clearwater played her first game of the season with St. Petersburg on March 31st. At the end of the fifth inning the score was 9 to 0 in favor of Clearwater, but by overconfidence and many errors the St. Petersburg team won from Clearwater 16 to 9. A week later Clear- water defeated the Lakeland team 12 to 0. The game was featured by hard hitting and good fielding done by the team. At this time the Annual goes to press, and it will be impossible to write up the games yet to be played. This year’s base ball team consists of the following players: Cap- tain Paul Ficht, short stop. Paul can play any place on the diamond with almost professional skill. He was unanimously elected captain of the team. Maurice Blanton, pitcher and third base. Maurice has proven him- self a good pitcher, fielder and hitter. Palma Hamilton, pitcher and right field. Palma is playing his first year in base ball and has become a good pitcher and a fine fielder. Robert Padget, catcher. This is Robert’s first year at catching, but he soon proved himself a capable catcher and a timely hitter. Ralph Trott, first base. Ralph has played first base for two years, and has always worked hard to help the team win. Jamie Nall, second base. Jamie has become a veteran at his posi- tion, and it is sure destruction to try to steal second on him. Henry Kisby, left field. Henry has been busting the hopes of the other teams by showing his ability to pull down their supposed home- run drives. Claude Cleghorn, center field. Claude is a very dependable fielder and is always on the job. William Tucker, right field. Bill is the one that makes the hard ones look easy. He is small, but a good player to have on any team. Much credit is also given to the Subs., and others, who gave their support. —RALPH TROTT ’22, Athletic Editor.

Boys’ Basket Ball Se ason 4 - $• T HE Clearwater High School Basket Ball Team started out with a rush this year by winning eight straight victories. Among these teams was the strong St. Petersburg team, which Clear- water defeated 32 to 28, and other strong teams such as the Dade City and Brooksville teams. The last game before Christmas vacation was the hard fought game with Brooksville on her own court. The team come back from Brooksville determined to keep up her good record, and to win as many games as possible. After the holidays practice was started again, and our first game was to be with the Winter Haven High School. On January 6th, Clearwater lost her first game, and a very hard one to the Winter Haven five. At the end of the game the score was counted and found to be a tie. In playing off the tie Clearwater lost her first game of the season. This defeat did not discourage the team, but made them more determined to defeat Winter Haven. Again, January 20th, Clear- water played Winter Haven on her own court, and with this disad- vantage Clearwater was again defeated. Other games played during the season were with the Tampa Terriers and Wachula. In both these games Clearwater was defeated. The last game of the season was on February 17th, and Clearwater won by an overwhelming victory over the Plant City five. Although Clearwater did not get the championship this year, she had a team which was feared and respected by the other schools in this section. Out of fifteen games played, the Clearwater High won ten, which is better than many schools can boast. —RALPH TROTT ’22, Athletic Editor. Social Activity $ $ $ $ $ $ Senior Carnival “Oh ! the Seniors had a Carnival, It was a swell affair; They made a ‘Million’ dollars, And everyone was there.” O N Saturday night, April 22nd, the Seniors of ’22, with the help of High School, put across one of the largest and most suc- cessful undertakings of the year. Fancy booths and money making devices of all kinds were made use of. Some very original ideas were brought to light, among them the famous Chicken Dinner and Mystery Ride, were the most popular. Then there were the “I Scream,” Fish Pond, Chinese Laundry, Jap Tea Shop, Punch Bowl, Hot Dog, Fortune Telling booths, besides many other interesting amusements. Among the special attractions of the evening was the musical pro- gram rendered by the excellent orchestra we were fortunate to procure. Altogether, the Carnival of ’22 was an event of which we are proud. Thanks to the untiring efforts and hearty co-operation which we received from our friends and classmates. $ $ � Senior Banquet “We cherish the treasure of moments like these, Hours as slender as Cupid’s soft breeze.” After commencement exercises on the night of June 2, the Class of ’22 held their last reunion in the beautiful palm dining room at Sunset Tavern. It was indeed a glad and sad occasion, this last meeting of friends and classmates who had together climbed the ladder of success to that great Commencement Day. At first old times were talked over and fond memories recalled and then with reluctance our faces were turned to the future, and we realized with dismay that we had reached the first milepost, and, as the leaves fall from the trees in Autumn, so must we part from dear old C. H. S. Toasts were offered and gaiety reigned in the last glad hour that the Class of ’22 laughed together and we parted each with the thought that: “We’re the only class that ever Welded bonds that cannot sever.” —OLIVIA McKENZIE, ’22. $ e $ Junior-Senior Reception The Junior and Senior reception was given at Sunset Point Tavern, Friday evening, April 28th, 1922. The dining room, which was opened at 8:00 o’clock, was beautifully decorated in the Senior colors — Blue and Gold. Each one found his place by place-cards, which were appropriate for the occasion. Blue and gold mint baskets were given as favors. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, chicken, potatoes, peas, rolls, pineapple sherbet, cake and coffee. Between courses toasts were given to the classes, school, faculty, and athletics; also a very delightful program by some of the school talent. Before leaving a few games were played, the most important of which to some was progressive conversation. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. —ELIZABETH CORNWELL, ’23. •$ •$ s Senior-Junior Party On January the thirteenth, the Juniors were entertained at the Community House, in Sunset Park, mid hanging moss and garlands of crimson and gray. Music was rendered by the “Wild Cat Orchestra,” and during the evening various games, old and new, were enjoyed. A most interesting feature was the luncheon of fruit punch, cake and sandwiches. Then the orchestra played “Home, Sweet Home,” and the Juniors departed pronouncing the Seniors the best class ever. — 0. McKENZIE. Sophomore-Junior Hay Ride On Friday evening, March 24th, the Junior and Sophomore classes with our advisors and lots of good things to eat, gathered at the Sun office, at about 5 :30 on two hay laden trucks, amid much noise ! Off cn a regular good time at Indian Beach, in honor of our superiors, the Juniors. £ Arrived, we enjoyed a lovely dip in the white capped Gulf, then out again for a tempting supper which consisted of lots of good things to eat. Various games were played to digest our supper. Then for an old fashioned “weiner roast.” In the wee hours of the night, we again bounded into those faithful trucks and headed for our respective homes, along a moonlit way, everyone tired, but happy. —CLAIRE STEVENS, 24. $ S S Junior-Senior Hallowe’en Party On Friday, before Hallowe’en, the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Bay Front home of Elizabeth Cornwell. As there were no electric lights, on account of the storm of two days before, the guests were guided into the house by Japanese lan- terns strung over the lawn. The porch and interior of the house were also decorated with lanterns, witches, black cats, etc. When the guests arrived punch was served and they had a great time trying to discover who was hidden behind each mask. A Victrola furnished music to which a few danced (?). After games and contests on the lawn, refreshments were served which consisted of fruit salad, potato chips, and cheese crackers. The party broke up about eleven, and although the lanterns had either burned out or gone out, each one was able to find his way home among the fallen trees and branches. — ELIZAZBETH CORNWELL. Hlfty-Nlx Freshmen Entertain Sophs The Sophs were entertained by the Freshmen at Clearwater Beach. Friday night, March 17, 1922. The games directed by Clayton Whitesell and Gertrude Stevens were enjoyed immensely by everyone. The High School Orchestra furnished delightful music which added to the pleasure of the evening. Some took dips in the Gulf and others hiked and played games on the beach while luncheon was being pre- pared. After luncheon the ball room was opened to the guests and dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. Mr. Cornwell and Miss Mixon took great care in chaperoning the party. —HAZEL HARRISON. $ § § Freshman Hollowe’en Frolic The Freshies held high jinks in Domestic Science room. If anyone had happened to look in they would have thought they had happened on a Congress of Nations; there were men of high color (very high color), clowns who had never been ladies before, mingled with gypsies, farm hands, sailors, ballet girls, and a great many other beauties. Mr. Cornwell, class advisor, chaperoned the party and a nice time was had by all, even though the refreshments proved illusory and imaginary, as those know who noticed the little add in the Clearwater Morning News. “WANTED — Sophomore boys who copped Freshies’ ice cream, to return the freezer to the Bide-a-Wee.” —ALICE HUDSON.

The following conversation took place: Dick — “Well, I swallowed your old oyster.” Prop. — “You did! Well, good for you. How did you do it?” Dick — “Just let it down easy.” Prop. — “Well, you sure have a fine stomach.

There’s a lot of fun in a stolen one, If you’re clever about the capture. The little trick in a kiss that’s quick, Is to put it where it belongs ; To see that it goes below the nose, And knocks at the gate of songs. A kiss that is cold may do for the old, Or go with a “near relation But one like that is work that’s flat Of supererogation. Fifty-nine The point in this rhyme is to take your time ; Kiss slowly and do it neatly. If you do the thing right and are halfway bright, You can win her heart completely. $ $ $ Lost — A cow by an old lady with a little calf. Wanted — A piano by a young lady with mahogany legs.

Last Saturday night I went down town and METTA fellow with SPOTTS all over his face. He told the following story: He had gone down to see his JANE the other KNIGHT, and had to KISBY CANDERlight. He said she could roast CORNWELL, but that the meat was not DUNN. He had a FICHT with her and she hit him till she couldn’t hit any MOORE. He said he would GRANT that she was a fine fighter, but couldn’t HEAL up his cuts. Finally they TOOKE a HUDSON and RODEN rode until they ran out of gas. They got out a can of CAMPBELL’S soup and a WINNIE and had dinner, while there they were attacked by a WOLF and were rescued by a SHOEMAKER who came up in a FORD and shot the beast with a GUNN. This man was a fine COACHMAN as he would never PHILLIP the car and TUCKER out the engine. However, while they were riding along a RUFF road they hit a STONE and lost a BOLTON the car and had to take it to a black SMITH. This man had a PAINE so he PRESTON a button ANDERSON came down from upstairs and did the work. When they asked him what his BILL was he said to TROTT along, that it was AUNSPAUGH. So they bought some gas and went on. By and by a CLAUDE came up in the sky and they had to speed up. While going through the village of WHITEHURST the MARSHALL stepped into the CENTER of the street a nd stopped them. “Oh, SHAW,” said my friend, “we were not going MORTON fifteen miles an hour.” He let them go and they went to the BISHOP and had him MARY them. They settled down and bought two cars, a MAXWELL for her and a STEPHENS for himself. $ $ $ ’Twas a Tuesday morning in September, Last November in July; The moon was spread upon the ground And m,ud shone in the sky ; Looking far into the distance Through the darkness of the night, I saw a great big little house, That was just out of sight. Its walls projected upwards, And its front was in the back; It stood alone among the others, And the fence was whitewashed black; The sky was dark with sunlight, And the snow was raining fast ; A barefoot boy with shoes on, Stood sitting on the grass. $ $ $■ Heard in and About the Cafeteria at Noon: Edith Grant (passing the soup) : “Looks like rain, don’t it?” Robert Padgett (tasting it) — “Yeah, and tastes like dishwater.” $ $ Maurice Blanton — “Excuse me, Mary Bess, but you have your thumb in my soup.” Mary Bess Moore — “Oh, that’s all right ; it ain’t very hot.” Sixty-three Ralph Trott — “Say, 1 bit into a pearl in this soup, and broke my tooth.” Thelma Blanton — “Oh, well, we won’t charge you anything extra for the pearl.” 3 S $ Lambeth McMullen— “Say, waiter, I’ve waited here for 10 minutes.” Agnes Thompson — “Well, that’s nothing; I’ve waited here since the Cafeteria opened last fall, and I’m not telling everyone about it.
