C. H. S. in the fall of 1933 with forty-three members, has dwindled until only thirty-three of the original number now remain. However, Eugene Messersmith, a transfer student from Williamsville, makes a total of thirty-four. At the very beginning of the present year, thoughts turned to the raising of funds for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet in May. The class sold candy all year and gave a Junior play to finance this social event. This year, as in the two previous ones, the class has participated in nearly all extra-curricular activities as well as attaining scholastic excellence. Last fall the baseball diamond attracted several of the boys and during the basketball season four of the squad came from our numbers. This spring the track team also drew a few. Many of the class are interested in dramatics and other literary work, while others have been lured by the band and glee club. Over half the class are members of one of the two vocational clubs, the Athenian Homemakers and the F. F. A. Throughout the year social gatherings have been more numerous than heretofore. Often other classes joined us in our fun, and we in turn were their guests. With three years of high achievement an incentive to keep our record the best, we shall return next year to complete our high school careers. H3 J

They were initiated properly, and got under way with their school work. Before the tirst semester ended, the class lost eight members. The group participated in many activities in the school, namely, band, basketball and glee club. Weiner roasts and parties wound up a successful first year for them. The fall of 1936 came around and the class was glad to be back in school. There was a loss of a few more members in the group. The activities of the class consisted of a skating party, assembly program, and some of the mem- bers of the class were in the glee club. The class all hopes to return next fall and continue their good work. [14|
