Class History September 3 1951 marked the entry into C.C.H.S. of the class of '55 thirty-three strong. We elected Georgette Townsend, president; Tom McCamish, vice-president; Betty Jo La Bree, secretary; and Doris Burch, trea- surer. Wilma Pul9e was our homecoming candidate and Mr. Mlekush acted as class sponsor. Initiation and the painting of the C gave the sophomores opportunities to torment us freshmen, but we all enjoyed these attentions. The following year found only 25 of us to register as sophomor- es. Missing were the familiar faces of Doris Burch, Virginia Aaberg, Rose Adams, Brice Barrere, Larry Gariott , Max Kingsley, Jackie Simp- son, Olive Ann Workentine. Roberta Price, an old classmate, returned from Miles City. Class officers elected for that year were Mary Kreitel, president; David Culver, vice-president; Peggy Williams, secretary; and Tom McCamish, treasurer. Betty Jo La Bree was our homecoming can- didate and Mr. Mlekush was again the class sponsor. That year It was our turn to supervise the freshmen initiation and the painting ,of the C . We assisted the freshmen in these activities, much in the same manner as we were assisted the year before. The beginning of our junior year found still a smaller number of us, only 21.
