On August 31» 1953, 29 young and green pupils started their first day in CCHS. We soon caught on, however, and made many new friends. The enrollment of Charles Ko.r?p brought our number to 30 but soon 2 dropped out. We selected as class officers. Sharon Purdum, president; Melvin Shuffield, vice-president; Sondra Ployd, secretary-treasurer; Sondra was also elected queen candidate of our class. Mr. Rowley was our class sponsor. One cold September day we all marched up to the high school in our funny- looking initiation get-ups. But though it was cold we all enjoyed ourselves. The sophomores gave us a dance which we returned a few weeks later. Our one Job left was to paint the nCn under the supervision of the sopho- mores. This turned out to be a lot of fun. After a lovely summer we all returned to school again on September 7. Bruce Yanzick and Ted Carter started with us but Ted, Mary Cline, and Frank Kelly dropped out and Bruce moved to the Junior class. Soon after school started we elected Janice Malmquist, president; Jim Oxford vice-president; Dorothy Turbiville, secretary-treasurer; and Ora Elmore, queen candidate. This year we had Mrs. Cantrell as sponsor. Now it was our turn to initiate the greenies. We had a very good time dressing them up in different costumes. To top it all off we gave them a dance which they returned a few weeks later. After instructing the painting of the C for the freshmen, we ended our second happy year in high school. On September 6, we proudly returned to school. Now we were upperclassmen. Upon counting noses we found Robert Moll, Melvin Shuffield, and Charles Kemp gone. Dennis Lovec was back in our midst, though. Mrs. Cantrell was our class sponsor. We chose class officers as follows: Jim Oxford, president; Walter Anderson, vice-president; Howard Turbiville, secretary-treasurer; Sharon Purdum, queen candidate. We had two new jobs as juniors, the junior class play and the junior-senior prom. For the junior play, we selected Here We Go Again, which turned out very successful. We had Sea Fantasy as our prom theme. Mike Dosch played for the dance. A very large crowd turned out and an enjoyable time was had by all. Near the end of the year we received our class rings. We enjoyed two picnics under the supervision of Mrs. Cantrell. Howard Turbiville and Walter Anderson were chosen as delegates to boys state with Wesley Chapman and Jim Walker as alternates. Dorothy Turbiville and Delores Silvis were chosen for the girls state delegates with Sondra Floyd and Sharon Purdum as alternates. 24 seniors started their final year in Carter High on September 5, 1957. We selected the following officers to preside during our final year. Howard Turbiville, president; Jesse LaBree, vice-president; Joan Powell, secretary- treasurer. We were very thrilled when our Homecoming candidate Dorothy Turbiville was elected queen. Mr. Rowley was our class sponsor. Our class play sponsored by Mr. Simons was Rest Assured which we presented to a large crowd on April 12. On April 20 we presented our play in Alzada. A wonderful time was had by everyone on our Senior Sneak Day trip through the Black Hills, May 12-13. Class night fell on May 22. Baccalaureate was the 19th of May. Commencement was held May 24th and on this happy date we bid good-bye to all the faculty members and lower classmen. Thus came to a close four happy years in Carter High.
