But when we survey the years between 1912 and 1940 the comparison is significant in the theme-PROGRESS. Small indeed was the first Clearwater High School, with a maxi- mum of twenty-five in its student body, taught by one teacher in one room. The first graduating class contained four members. From that tiny seed Clearwater High School has almost outgrown its present attractive building with thirteen class rooms, two laboratories, a library and an auditorium. It is a long way from the realm of that one teacher, who was Lord of all he surveyed, to our efficient faculty of sixteen members. The student body of 1940 has as its enrollment 497 and the senior class boasts of 132 members. Clearwater High School students are proud of their chances for scholastic development, but even more proud are they of their thirty extra curricular activities, which answer the varied aspiratfons of any student. They consti- tute a far cry from speaking pieces on Friday afternoon and a spring baseball game. Viewed in relation to history and time this progress is infinitesimal, but examined from a standpoint of accom- plishments, it is infinite. From as small pamphlet, the year- book has grown to the present somewhat imposing volume. It is the sincere hope of the staff' that this, the first Aqua Clara, will justify in quality its increase in size and will be a fitting commemoration of a quarter century of progress. 7 Q - av Q v f 'J CW' !m W,, 4 N, -A uv A 4 I ' ll ie an ., 3 S' 4 6 w rl 1, ' it I W , ' rg '::' ,7' 5 C n V efsenfafion Tradition has its place in the scheme of life, but tradition can become stagnation. Clearwater High School stands for advance- ment, and for this reason we, the graduating class of 1940, have chosen as our theme, Progress In the pages which follow, an endeavor has been made to present pictorially and in writing the steps which our school has made in its growth. In so doing, we are eng deavoring to pay tribute to those who have pioneered in the various fields and through whose efforts our school has taken its rank among the best. Because of the unusual prog- ress realized within the past two years, this, the 1940 Aqua Clara, not only sets forth the progress of the more remote past, but espe- cially the contemporary expansion. It is our hope that this annual with its theme shall become the foundation and incen- tive for greater progress as the years come and go. e icafion To those predecessors, the alum- ni of C. H. S., the businessmen, citizens, well-wishers of the commu- nities who supply this school with stu- dents, to the teachers and leaders of C. H. S., who, through their energetic labors, keen foresight, pride in their community and realization of the power of knowledge, have aided Clearwater High School on its road of progress-as a token of gfatituie. we, the students of Clearwater High School, do faithfully and gratefully dedicate, this, the first volume of the Aqua Clara. clfiatoaaf of :Senior Cfrua We are the Seniors! After struggling twelve. thirteen and fourteen years to reach this goal we rightfully and justifiably crow. Looking back we see years of gradual evolution--from hair iibbons and knickers to Caesar and long pants. What progress! On the side, we learned a few things about algebra, social science, English and whatever else came our way. From our precarious perch, we are reminded of the days when we were the fearless freshmen, the mighty masterminds of junior high. Never in the annals of the school has there been such an illustrious class . . . nor such a modest one. Some of the more aspiring students wan- dered over to senior high to gaze upon those magic words, Mica, mica, parva. stella, etc., etc. We left many other- wise promising students still muttering, hic, haec, hoc. Highlight of the year was the election, with Eugene Jones and Geraldine Turner making the political speeches for the presidency. Miss Turner carried away the gavel. Being a party-loving crew, we enjoyed many picnics and skating parties, rounding up the year with our first real dance at the Elks Hall. September of the next year found a very sophisticated sophomore class. Geometry, biology and foreign languages shortly quelled our egotism but never dampened our spirits. Our class was soon organized and Mrs. Crowell was chosen as adviser to succeed Miss Briggs in junior high. An election was held and Herb Hopper became our president. The idea of a boy in the highest seat was quite an innovation, but the reserved young man carried the responsibilities very well. The year, with new studies and faces, was an eventful one and the s.udents speedily became a part of the various clubs of the school-the Honor Society, Chatter Staff, F. L. S., me language clubs and social organizations. Our sophomore year passed rapidly and in the fall of '39 we became juniors. We knew that we had reached the summit of learning. However, finding ourselves again under the influence of Morse, Kelly Sz Morse, we were con- vinced that we still knew little less than nothing. Once more we put our noses to the proverbial grindstone. Mrs. Crowell was again our adviser and after a few weeks our class was organized. The election was a hard-fought battle with the female of the species the recipient of the battered gavel. Jere once more proved herself the exceptional leader. Our biggest job of the year was to give a different party for seniors. An able committee conceived the brilliant and Gbliafozy of Senior Cfaaa, Cionfinuscf hithertoto untried idea of an advertising party. Everyone was to come dressed to represent a popular product on the market. It was a whooping success. Perfectly ridiculous costumes were in order and a general funfest was enjoyed. Finishing ou: junior year, our brave little band, grow- ing smaller as family responsibilities, outside interests, Latin and physiology took their separate tolls, staggered on to greater and more lofty heights. The class was organized quickly and Miss Turner continued as president. Knox Biumby was chosen editor-in-chief of the Chatter: Mary Louise Green, president of the Honor Society, Paul McEl- vin, Junior Rotariang Jack Murray, editor-in-chief of the Aqua Clara and president of the Debate Club. The ambition of the senior classes for the past three yeais was realized and student government was established March 15. The presidency was awarded to Betty Miller, a leader in the endeavor to create a unified spirit in the school. Our senior class rings, ordered and coming by way of the war fso it seemedj, finally reached us and came up to every expectation. Invitations for commencement were beautiful in design and quite suitable for the occasion. The senior class 'play was selected, The Whole Town's Talk- i1'g, parts assigned and practice had begun by March 1. It need not be added that the play was one of the most successful ever staged, both from the standpoint of per- formance and finance. The junior class spent time and effort on our Junior- Senior prom, a kid party. Borrowing baby brother's or sister's playsuits we romped around feeling at least two years younger. Our appreciation was shown by the fact that the party was the topic of conversation for weeks after. But the enthusiasm of the seniors in planning and executing tlge senior banquet more than matched the juniors. This was the social affair of the year and all cooperated in mak- ing it a joyous occasion. The Last Round-Up was the theme and the little dogies felt themselves getting along. Graduation time drew near and faint heart was ever expressed on fair face. The theme of the commencement program was The Person I Want My Child to Be, and the solemmty of expression upon the faces of the robed students formed a perfect background. Perhaps the thought fore- most in the mind was that of regret. True, like our motto, 'tProgress, we must go on, but in our hearts we shall carry lasting memories of the foundation stone of our later lives, our school of education and experiences, our own Clear. water High. aculfx, ,. 2' .1 ga f- xi ' N 'VX R.

Members are chosen for their ability to fulfill the four requirements symbolized by the colors. The emblem is the keystone of the flaming torch. The torch is the expression of our purpose to bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead others that they may follow in the light, to keep learning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve. The sponsors are Miss Martha Kelley and Miss Marguerite Morse.

This thought has been furthered by cor- respondence of some of the club members with boys and girls of France. The club work has included a study of language, history, national character and culture in drama, music, biography and folk dancing. The outstanding event of each year is a dinner given by the club for the French department and its honor guests.

The Tornadoes went through their best season with one game lost, to Plant high school. For the first time ever, a C. H. S. team beat Hillsborough high school. Clearwater placed four on the Honorable Mention All-State team. Stumpy Tscarios, our slippery wingback, was elected captain for the 1940 Tornadoes, and Carter Whelpley, guard, will serve as alternate captain. To Johnny Rountree and Harvel Dunn go the scoring honors, with 32 and 32 points, respectively. Strainer's 55-yard run in the Hillsborough game is to be remem- bered. Also to be remembered is Peck's consistent punting. Many a Clearwater foe will remember how hard it was to make any distance through Harry Hill, Herbert Dudley, Edwin Blanton, Carter Whelpley, and Bill Leithieser, who were the spark plugs of ClearWater's line. Fans will remember the defensive and offensive work of J. M. Harris, James Hope, Albert Strainer, and Cotton Brown, who held down end positions this year. Most of all to be remembered is the sportsmanship and clean foot- ball that Clearwater was known by. Ji t Row.
