MASS HISIIIIIY September, 1949, four years ago 118 valiant green freshies of the present senior class landed upon the campus of CCHS to wage their battle against ignor- ance and inequality. Our freshman year began by electing Norman Moore, presi- dent, Davey Jackson, Vice-President, Mary Rose Thompson, Secretary, and Sharon Wantland, Treasurer. Miss Rainey was our class advisor. The main event of the year was our freshman party. Fritz Crang and Judv Moore were crowned King and Queen. In the spring of 1950 we were promoted to Silly Sophomores . September of 1950 began with only 97 sophomores who were no longer con- fused and uncertain. Miss Marshall advised the classg and Diana Breighner as President, Shirley Harris as Treasurer, Fritz Crang as Vice-President, and Ruth Kepner as Secretary were elected to lead the class. Our Sophomore Class party was a big success and Dorothy Tweedy and Jim Rude were elected by the class to serve as King and Queen. September of 1951 our Junior year finally arrived. Our number was decreas- ing rapidly with only 84 of us left. Our biggest joy was the arrival of our class rings along with Cheaper by the Dozen our class play. Junior Eastham was President, Ronnie West, Vice-President, Dorles Dillow, Secretary, and Mary Alice Gano, Treasurer. Mr. McGuire was the class advisor. The most unforgettable event of our, thus far, three years was the Junior- Senior Prom. The theme as Under the Sea and Johnny Mooreland's orchestra provided a wonderful evening of dancing. Our senior year began in September of 1952, our big year. We began it with only 763 our number decreased greatly, which was to be expected but it hadn't altered our high morale in the slightest degree. Things began to happen immedi- ately. Bev. Chandler was elected Student Cabinet.President with Diana Breighner Shirley Harris, Fritz Crang, and Stanley Brandon elected to serve with her. Homecoming rolled around and Al Olsen's orchestra made music for our dancing. Bev Chandler was crowned Queen, and Marti Maurer, Mary Rose Thompson, Shirley Harris, and Rosetta North attended the Queen. The magazine sale hit its peak of the years, and revealed some excellent senior salesmen. Mary Rose Thompson and John Bianucci took top honors at the chili supper and at this event, I might add, the girls were the guests and the boys made the chili. Fritz Crang, Presidentg Maribeth Rhoades, Vice-President, Mary Rose Thompson, Secretary, and Sharon Gaddis, Treasurer ruled over the class, along with Mrs. Knochel. The little white name cards began to float around along with the graduation pictures. Our senior year ended in a rush with our Play, The Prom, Baccalaurate, Honor's Day, and finally Graduation. We then became the Grad's of '53, We hat- ed leaving our Alma Mater and saying farewell to it all. To our successors we leave the safekeeping of CCHS and all of its proud traditions. 22
