As the graduates of ’51 we look back and remember — Our Oirst Or ip! After nine years of struggle we had finally made Senior High. We were only Sophomores, the lowest form of humanity, but our great adventure had begun. Acting as mechanics on our first trip into the Great Spaces of a new life, first duties were assigned during Sophomore Week. Carrying books in buckets, pushing pennies with our noses, singing The Crimson and the Grey, wearing our names on signs, and other countless nonsense were part of the fun of being accepted by upper classmen. Our first big decision—that of electing our class officers—proved a success and we flew a steady course under Mildred, Bill, Joyce and Martha Jo ' s leadership. Football season—and with it our first weekly pep session. No one was prouder when CHS had an untied, undefeated football team. The first in its history. Not only did they walk off with the Pinellas County Trophy, but also won the South Florida Conference Championship! After mid-year exams, Seniors presented Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick. Some day we, too, would give a play. The Space Ship was nosing in toward home again as we celebrated May Day, Queen Pat with her escort Pete, and weren ' t we proud of Sally and Jack. Then in a rush of exams, dances, graduating Seniors and report cards, we landed, and our first trip had been successful. Our Oecond Or ip! After three months, we reported back. This was to be our second trip and we were now part of the crew. During Sophomore week, we taught our underlings a few things, such as: how to wear their shoes on the wrong feet; how to eat garlic. The garlic idea backfired, for we had to smell the Sophs ' breath all day. Oh well, live an ' learn. Another good start with Wise selections at Class Elections. Ed, Ned, Jeannine, and Albert led our crew with our confidence. The band tuned up; the cheerleaders, among which were our own class¬ mates—Holly, Gerry, Jo Ann, and Patty, donned their uniforms; the team kicked off, and football season was here again. With a hope in our hearts and a shout in our throats, we cheered our boys on to the Pinellas County and South Florida Conference Championships for the second year. The Senior Play, A Date With Judy, starring Betsy and Bobby, was an outstanding performance.
