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.

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.
