Iff TON IA HISTCRy Cf the junior claxx In September, 1927, a number of green beings started on a journey which was to last for some four years, and others longer, according to their perseverance. Miss Wynd was the guide through the first nine miles. ()n this first lapse. Charles Andrews, Loretta Kirk, Charlotte Siflfert. Marcella Bales, and John Robinson were elected as conductors. During this time, a party was held to relieve the tedium of a long trip. It w-as, in keeping with the colors of the train which carried the people the first nine miles, a St. Patrick’s party. Everyone had a good time, and went back to their routes with an increased vigor. September, 1928, started another stage of the journey, which also was to cover nine miles. A new guide was given us, and she was no other than the winsome Miss Marshall. For conductors, we had Johnny Robinson, Charles Andrews, Loretta Kirk, Helen Wright, and Virginia Hollibaugh. The colors in the meantime had been changed to Maroon and Gold. These lasted all during the remainder of the journey. Two parties were given this year. A hallowe’en, and a bunco. Both were huge successes, due to the brilliant planning by various members of the class. In athletics, Shaw and Andrews put the Sophomore coach on the map. Even the proud Engine, the Senior Class, recognized, their ability. It was with sorrow and regret that we ended this stage of our trip. Another nine miles to cover! We started in September, and are still going strong. Miss Ross is our guide, and Charles Andrews is the pilot. His able assistants are Vice-President Loretta Kirk, Secretary Eliza! eth Nelle Barr, and Treasurer Merle Callison. The greatest enterprise, and most successful was the excellent Junior play, which was entitled Miracles. This was a success in entertainment and also finance. Two parties were held, a hallowe’en party and a Valentine party, both of which were enjoyed by all those who attended. The reception is a thing to make history. When has there been one better? Never! And next year we will come back to finish the last nine miles of our journey, the last time under the colors of C. C. H. S. And we are sure that with the cooperation and splendid help we have received from the teachers and other interested persons, we cannot help but to succeed. Anai.ee Metz. Twenty

“THE JUNIOR CLATT Invulnerable, onward sails the ship; The hull maroon, with golden sails; Hewn out of timber green and strong, To give the lasting qualities. The ship is beautiful withal, With skillful lines, and delicate sails To catch each breath of intellect. Its name, a floating banner tells, “The Junior Class of C. C. H. S. The log is kept by Elizabeth Xelle Barr, With Charles Andrews at the helm: And a better crew could not be found Within our school's small realm. Sometimes we sail alone, Sometimes we're with the fleet, “The Junior Class the flagship, “C. C. H. S.” the fleet. When the flagship clears its deck And the rest of the fleet is near, The opposing fleet is worried, And often filled with fear. Thru the Freshman Sea we sailed, ’Twas not so stormy there. The Sophomore Sea was somewhat worse, But a groan you'd never hear. We’ve one more sea to sail Before our voyage is o’er. And this in the stormiest weather; The Sea of the Senior year. And when that sea we’ve sailed, And our battles we have won; Then we'll receive the trophy, And sail on, and on, and on. Chari.es Briggs. Twenty-Two
