.lfilgi ii - N ff gg g -sg, g k Te Senior Class History HIC Seniors realize that this is their last year. the home stretch with success as its goal. Many members have lingered behind: some have sought their fortunes through means other than education. In the year 1923, on the day of September 7th, we who are now the Senior class, came into this high school as Freshmen, snubbed and unnoticed by the upper classmen. VVe tried in vain to take part in all activities but always we were pushed aside by the three other classes. However our party given for the Sophomores was a great success. It was given in the gymnasium of the old North grade school building. The Sopho- mores thought it a fine party and a good time was had by all who attended. The next year we were Sophomores. l-le had a cordial welcome from the upper classmen, much different from that which we recived the year before. VVe found the high school spirit and did everything to develop it. Some of us made the football, basketball and track teams. VVe won the recognition of the upper classmen the first month and we kept it all the year by supporting every activity that came up in school. Our Junior year could justly be called our biggest and best year, for that year we won a name for ourselves as good athletes, actors and as royal enter- tainers. Our Junior play, Am I Intruding? which was directed by XVallace Allen, was a huge success. It was the first class play given in the new audi- torium and was well worthy of the honor. lt was given on the evening of january 19, 1926. Next came the Junior Prom, on the night of February 12, 1926. It was given in the new auditorium also. The room was exquisitely decorated in red, white and blue, in honor of Abraham Lincoln. Large shields hung from the ceiling and from these many streamers were hung. fencing in the dancing space. The lights, which were covered with red shades flooded through these streamers, giving a wonderful effect to the room. The largest link in our social chain was the junior-Senior Banquet which was given on the evening of May 27. lt was held in the Domestic Science Department's dining room. The room was decorated in green and white in the most original way and according to the best designers of our class. An excellent dinner was served after which we had some very good speeches. Later we danced to the music furnished by Curry Brothers' Orchestra. Then in our Senior year we came back to school determined to take our place as leaders of the high school, realizing that the other classes looked up to us to lead the way to victory or to defeat. XN'e surely led the way to victory for our football team. as well as basketball and track teams. were winning teams, probably the best that have yet represented the C. C. H. S. The Seniors made up the largest part of these teams. The Seniors also took upon themselves the duty of putting out the Annual. lt is the first Annual that has been put out by this school for about eight vears. NVe also gave a carnival. the first affair of this sort that has been 'given for a number of years. It was a real success. The Senior class has some very studious members. some that promise to become famous doctors, lawyers and engineers or to be masters in whatever line they may take up. This they have proved by the manner in which they have met the problems of high school for the last four years. I -BGB FORREST.

, i f is T' , D' YQ D' 2 GCCDNVEJRSM ,i lj The Senior Class Proplvesy VVENTY-ONE years have passed and the Seniors are no longer together. They have sifted and drifted to the far corners of the earth. But the eyes of the world can still see them all and they confided to me and took me to see them all and it was some journey. VVhyl when we Hrst started there was Fred Pexton in VVashington, U. C., the Secretary of the Treasury to the President, John Bansept. We then went to New York City only to find Harry Cannon the City Engineer, con- structing moving streets, subways and fiying platforms. Then we continued through the city, I wondering where the eyes of the world would take me next but whoa! here is Kenneth Creswell, the world's greatest musical comedy producer and his new playhouse built to accommodate 100,000 people with five wonderful pipe-organs, he himself playing at times. NVe stop here for a moment to watch his latest production and-well, well no one else but Claire Albaugh is the star and is world famous for his funny stunts. Little did I realize that the sights in store for me would make me laugh, cry or think. VVhat a good old world it is after all, not many of us have to face tragedies. Now however we are in New Orleans and at hrst I could not understand why we were headed for the docks but there is a big fine ocean liner about to leave and we shall be on it. I almost collapsed when I saw Florence Brady, captain of this ship. Oh! how times have changed. XVomen almost rule the men. Well here we are in Spain and we are nearing a little farm, no not a farm, it is a school building, and there is Velma Fisher clear over here teaching schoolg married too, and teaching three of her own. More school for here we are at the University at Vienna but why we should come away over here I don't know, but here we visit the boy wonder, a son of Margaret Bolln. His mother he says is in America, a rich woman, married to Count Hotchscotchski and that is why her son is in Vienna. How fast we travel, for now I am able to see Pekin, China, coming into view. We stop now at the house of a missionary and the nameplate reads, Paul Clark. Everyone thought that some good-looking woman would capture Paul, but here he is a bachelor. Twenty-one years ago who would have imagined that VVoolworth's chain of dime stores would have reached China. But here we are at the entrance of one and Henry Reese is behind the counter, a clerk in a ten-cent store, he wants us to see his wife and! well now I can tell you he is married to Burla Smull and they have two small boys. Here we are hack in America, clear around the world! We are going into a church and there in the pulpit is Clarence Slonaker wearing a white robe and pouring forth a sermon that would reform anyone. VVe hop up to Alaska and look who's on the district court bench, Bob Forrest, chief judge of the district and tries all cases that come np in Alaska and the North Pole. Now at San Francisco we find Bob Garfield, Chief of Staff of the Army. His un- ceasing work and effort alone, raised him to that high office. We go to Italy, Mussolini is long dead, and Doc Hylton is very popular. It looks as if he will become dictator of Italy. Helping Doc to receive his high position is Arlene Jones, the next great Prima Donna of the world. But now we see America again and we are in Canada. Picture a small town in Canada with hills rising all around. Imagine you see a small garage in the center of the town. Here is John Brockway, a mechanic, married and happy. NVhat do you think? XfVell, John has a john, jr., also learning to be a mechanic. Fords are John, Sr.'s specialty. The eyes of the world now turn me south a little and I am now in Minneapolis and we go to see the University and there teaching in the University is Leila Snodgrass. Then we go across the river only to see the beautiful mansion of Ferol Manning. Ferol has married a very rich pencil sharpener king and her sister Lenore lives with her. All day they play golf and tennis on their own private courses. Now we are in St. Louis, Mo., wandering all over the city and there is a mob of kids jumping and dancing to the tune of a music box. The music grinder is no one else but Dean Esmay. V It seems that quite a few have coagnlated here because here is Ruth Miller, a seams- tress owning herself a large store. Now we journey west to a small town in Colorado, where we find Frances Hartmann and Arbula Brow, two rash, radical political leaders preparing to stir the nation. In another small town not far off is Violet Renshaw, a physician, and a good one, too. She controls her own hospital and has a thriving business. Her specialty is taking out adenoids. -ROY HYLTON.
