To bind these happy remembrances deep within you and to preserve them for you for many years, the COHIAN Staff presents the twentieth edition of THE COHIAN. . . MEMORIES [ 2 ] 2dedication Memories bring back many people: students, bus drivers, lunchroom workers, and especially teachers. Here is a teacher whom each student will surely always remember. Not only did she render our school a great service as a teacher, but also an even greater service as a librarian. She built our library so that now it is the finest in the county. To honor her service and her years at C. C H. S., the COHIAN Staff dedicates this, the 20th edition of the COHIAN, to Miss Matilda Albreast. f 3 ] PRINCIPAL M. C.
