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.
