S. in the fall of 1935, enjoyed their first two years in many activities, including band, glee club, basketball, baseball, weiner roasts, parties, assembly programs, and skating. Beginning again in ’37. they had something much greater to look forward to the task of preparing for the annual junior-senior banquet in May. They sold candy, presented a play, and planned various other means to finance this event. This year again many activities drew the attention of the students. Several were very active in baseball, basketball, Homemakers Club, F. F. A., band, and glee club. Having ended a successful year, we are hoping to make the next one more successful. Ten

C. H. S. in September. 1936, and looked forward to a colorful high school career. They were initiated, and then they started in their new work. Before the year was over, seven classmates were lost. The rest of the group was very active in sports and school activities. In 1937, the class was happy to return to school and continue as sophomores. Three more students were lost, but three transfers from Williamsville joined the class. The new students were Wilma Jean Landreth. Betty Lou Metz, and Eston Landreth. The class was even more active than before. They sold ice cream bars and had two chili dinners, and payed the debts incurred the preceding year. The class showed their prowess in baseball, basketball, track, and band. All hope to return next year to continue in school as juniors. c r c r c G (r G r c )c ) 1938 r o pfocr c K5cr G ocv 5 focs rNfocr Eleven
