Argus at Ci IA Argus was a monster of Greek mythology, Who had the sight of a hundred spies. Who was part of Queen Hera's cosmology, To check up on King Zeus' naughty eyes. One day Queen Hera noticed a peculiar low lying cloud, That stood out in a field of sunshine Thinking only of her dignity, she rushed to that gaseous declivity. To her wondering suspicious eyes she found King Zeus with only a heifer that was bound. But clever Hera was not so easily tricked, For she saw through that heifer disguise but quick, To find the soul not a heifer known to us But the soul of beautiful Io, daughter of Inachus Zeus was not his usual self, for wise Hera took the heifer for herself, So to guard the disguised beautiful maid, Hera assigned Argus whose hundred eyes could not be betrayed. Mighty Zeus thwarted by Io's plight, Sent cunning Mercury in swift flight. Now Mercury knew his many talents And his skills were known among gallants. But he would not set his sights To match Argus in strength or sleepless nights. So he lulled to sleep each of the hundred And as he struck off the head, it thundered. Beautiful Io was set free of course Was sent off by Zeus on a far away course. Poor, poor, poor, Argus seemed to have met his end, But clever Hera thought too much of the monster friend She scattered his eyes in the peacock's tail Where they can be found by anyone without fail. Time, time, how rapid and so fast, Argus is now just a figment of the bygone past. And so I come to the part I like best, Where we tell you about C. V. and Argus' new test Argus has been transformed by time But in this era he is no longer connected with crime He is now a guide and protector at C. V. for '58 Where he was chosen by the seniors to prosper their fate There's a hundred seniors in the class of '58 That means Argus will have an eye on you, old mate. But I guess that's why we chose him to lead us and all that For we knew that we would never, never be back. -by WILLIAM A. CLEMENTSON -. A. -+ as-as 3

It is in deepest gratitude that we, the class of 1958, dedicate this yearbook to our principal, Mr. Charles R. Slaybaugh, who has guided us since the opening of the new Cumberland Valley High School four years ago. We appreciate his faith in the worth of the individual student, as he has shown by his attention to the problems of each student. His time was ours when in need. He was never too busy to stop in the halls to talk of our school and personal problems. He has respected our opinions, although his own may have been different. He has re- peatedly demonstrated his confidence in student govern- ment by giving it his whole-hearted support. He has never failed to give full recognition to an individual or a group for work well-done. Through his dedication to the task of preparing us to be useful and intelligent citizens, may each of us be in- fluenced by his example in the life ahead of us.
