Reminiscences Once again another year is drawing to a close at good ol’ C. H. S. Isn’t it surprising how quickly time passes? Seems hardly any time at all since that first day in high school that we anticipated so much. Grade Ten had an air of expectancy about it. We made friends and developed a new outlook on school life. Remember Initiation that year? The girls certainly set the new style with their long skirts and weren’t those dolls a nuisance! The boys looked especially becoming wearing those tin cans! But our first high school dance made up for any discomfort suffered. The next affair of the season was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, with all its “dogpatch” finery. Indeed the night for the girls to catch their favorite beau! Winter was brightened by the Christmas Dance, and wasn’t the sleigh ride fun, even if we did get rather wet? Spring was issued in by the Calico Dance. Our Carnival Queen candidate was Marie Shaw. Finally came graduation when we had the chance to wear our first formals and new suits. By the time Grade Eleven rolled around, we were well acquain¬ ted with C. H. S. We got a greater kick out of Initiation this year since we were able to lay down the rules Former students of the school talked over old school days at the Alumni Dance. The operetta “H.M.S. Pinafore,” so successfully presented by the Glee Club, was enjoyed by all. The High school was well represented in the annual carnival queen contest by Elsie Nelson. Remember the picnic out at Tillicum Beach? A fun-packed day! The year was appropriately ended by the Closing Exercises, when awards were given to many deserving students. (Continued on Page 32) 14
