Howley unlocked the front door of CCHS to begin a new school term, and woe to him, there stood 42 green, pop-eyed open- mouthed freshmen, their sweet little feces all clean and shiny waiting to expand their eager minds with the weight of The Books of Know- ledge in the next four years. Coach Shirley Callaghan took over the ted- ious Job of claes sponsor for the blundering mob with hie foremen as follows: Lee Cas- tleberry, president; Loyd Townsend, vice president; and Coleman Meyer, secretary- treasurer.

For the Homecoming event in the fall of '44 Delorls Vaterland wa chosen to repre- sent the class in the royal affair. And so another year rolled by. Kew events some of which were new even to fresh- men came and went. Football and basketball called in the more athletically expert of the class to help trounce the way to victoiy. However, the class weren't full-fledged freehmen until late in the spring when one lovely sunshiny afternoon they were told to sling some buckets containing H O o'er their arms and a sack of whitewash o'er their shoulders and Journey up a certain hill to paint a certain C under the sophs' direc- tion. Now they had seen everything..or «° they thought. Finally the class of '48 cams to a turning point in their lives. They were sophomore .

Homecoming saw the Junior can- didate receiving £he crown as the first Queen Shirley Gundlach to reign over Carter Hlgh'e football festivity. The first claet meeting of the yeer was held without too much confusion and annoyance and the following left the room bearing the title of officers: Joy Peabody, president; Coleman Meyer, vice president; and Lee Cas- tleberry, eecretary-treasurer. The next important event of the year was the nomination of Homeooming candidate, Wanda Vaterland, who was crowned queen on the night of the traditional event. Three senior girls were chosen as cheer- leaders with one freshman. They were Bonnie Vaterland, Virginia Schveigert and Beverly Gundlach, who was beginning her third year on the squad.
