QfO!OgU8. . . The 1955 Viewpoint Staff presents its view of the last year of CVHS. In three acts, we hope to record the memories of our everyday school life. As the curtain opens and the first act begins, We invite you to relive these memories which are so dear to our hearts. , All the world's u stage. And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and entrances: And one man in his time plays many parts.

fl 77fZ8I'l'lOI'l.ClI'lfL I Mrs. Fern Housman NATURE As a tond mother, when the day is o'erg Leads bv the hand her little child to bed, Halt willing, halt reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on the tloor, Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, Which, though more splendid, may not please him more, So Nature deals with us, and takes away Our playthings one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go Scarce knowing it we wish to go or stay, Being too tull ot sleep to understand How tar the unknown transcends the what we know. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Mrs. Fern Housman was born at Plymouth, Nebraska.
