X is FLOYD BARNHART In his well-equipped department, Mr. Barnhart teaches Vocational Agriculture I, II, III. Recently Mr. Barnhart received recognition as a textbook writer on cotton production. In this class we see the boys work- ing on their agriculture notebooks. Mr. Barnhart is also the F. F. A. sponsor. REDMAN DUNHAM In order to receive training in office work, many C. H. S. students take classes under Mr. Redman Dunham, head of the Commercial Department. Mr. Dunham teaches bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, law, and business English. He is also co- sponsor of the senior class. ACULTY Calling all teachers! Calling all Teachers! pages Mr. Tiger, as he pre- sents to his readers their next view of C. H. S. life. Here they come, just like them, always responsive to every de- mand made of them. I want you to meet them as well as to observe them in their classrooms. In some instances you will actually see the students at work under their guidance. Now for the introductions. EDWARD J. SHELTON To expand the Commercial Depart- ment. a new subject, General Busi- ness, was added this year. The stu- dents study a variety of phases essential to the conducting of a busi- ness concern. Mr. Shelton, principal of C. H. S., is instructing his students in the techniques of income tax reporting. HARRY DARR The industrial art classes are among the most popular courses in C. H. S. These classes are taught by Mr. Harry Darr, and the instruction he gives is in- valuable to boys wishing to continue in similar fields after graduation. Mr. Darr teaches courses in woodwork and cabinet making, shop, mechanical and architec- tural drawing, boat building, and ad- vanced metal work. His daily routine also includes coaching basketball and assisting Coach Cross with football and track. DONALD CROSS This is one of the physical education classes instructed by Coach Don Cross. Both boys and girls are under his super- vision. For recreation, the students play golf, tennis, archery, and baseball. Coach also teaches health. coaches foot- ball and track, and assists Coach Darr in basketball. 11 -gf' if of . JACK HOPKE These boys are making car polish! It looks like fun, doesn't it? But this is just one of the many projects of Mr. Hopke's chemistry class. Other classes of Mr. Hopke's which students find interesting are biology and general science. The junior high athletic teams were privileged this year to have Mr. Hopke as their coach.

MOCK To give advice on school and personal problems is the concern of our guidance counselor, Mr. Mock. His office door is always open to any student seeking his help and suggestions. He is also World History teacher and co-sponsor of the junior class. MARTHA OYERSTREET Receiving instruction from Mrs. Overstreet are students of her American Government class. This has been Mrs. Overstreet's first year in F. H. S., and the students of her civics, American Government, and American History classes have enjoyed her guidance. She is also a sponsor of the freshman class. 1 . ' Q W f, Jig.: A y n A 3 if 75 .,- LAN The discussion of current problems is a part of the daily procedure in our social studies classes. Here the Ameri- can Problems class is tape recording a panel discussion. ,ss ,X MARY ELLEN HORNER Whether studying the map in geog- raphy, the U. S.'s progress in Ameri- can History, or today's perplexing problems, many F. H. S. students enjoy and benefit from the guidance of Miss Mary Ellen Horner, our so- cial studies teacher. She is over-all sponsor of the Fotton Blossom. and a sponsor of the sophomore class. A variety of activities are participated in by the art stu- dents - each working in his chosen medium. WX T' KENNETH FIDLER This is the beginners' band under the excellent supervision of Mr. Kenneth Fidler. The bands, both beginner and senior, have improved remarkably under his direction. He also directs the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Vhorus. and is sponsor of the Pepsters. We deeply regret that Mr. Fidler will not be back to C. H. S. next year. I4 IJOROTHY WOOD Oh. Mrs. Wood. what have I done now? These are familiar words in the home eco- nomics classes as the girls struggle with their sewing projects. In the newly-remod- eled kitchen. the girls receive help from their advisor in the preparation of meals. Mrs. Dorothy Wood in Home Ec. I. II, III gives the girls valuable training in sewing. cooking. home management and other phases of home making. Mrs. XVood is also sponsor of the F. H. A. IRENE HAZEL To improve their techniques in the vari- ous phases of art, the students of the art classes are carrying out the advice and suggestions being given by Mrs. Irene Hazel, art instructor. Mrs. Hazel teaches Art I, II, and III. In addition to her regular high school class work, she is also co-sponsor of the S. A. C., art sponsor of the yearbook, and elementary art supervisor. LENA WALK Judging from the work on the boards, we can immediately guess that Miss Walk is instructor of math in C. H. S. She teaches general math, Algebra I, and plane geome- try. In addition to her regular teaching schedule, Miss Walk is sponsor of the Caruthersville Honor Society and co-sponsor of the junior class. . .Z-IG. - 5545 L-': -17515 --ip . '. 'll 12,1 1 A'q ' '- WILLIAM L. ALLISON Borrowed from the Southside School, Mr. Allison has filled our need for an extra teacher in the math department. From the figures and signs on the board, we judge he is instructing his students in a trigo- nometry problem. He also taught Algebra II the first semester. 5 . 'Tl' -'S Nt.

We entered inexperienced in high school ways, but with the guidance of the teachers and the help of upperclassmen, we gradually became adjusted.

A nn Dillman UTTO BLUSSOM STAFF What in the world will we use for a theme this year? If we expect to equal the A- rating of last year's book we'll have to have a good one, wailed the editors of the Cotton Blossom, as work on the '53 book got under way. Goodness, how will we ever raise that much money? came the cry of the business staff as the drive for ads and subscriptions began. The literary staff was hounded daily by the demand for copy, copy, and more copy. The members drained their last ounce of originality before that last phrase was written. ii n 1 'tg' Q1 Business Staff it '14 Standing: Miss Horner, sponsor, Fox, Rich- 1 All We'll have to do is draw tigers, letters, captions, and take pictures, com- mented the art and photography staff. Yes, it sounded easy, but, oh, what a headache it was to obtain good pictures. Yes, each department felt that its task was insurmountable. However, after the entire staff agreed on the theme, every- one worked untiringly and at last the Cotton Blossom of '53 was produced. ardson.

Who wouldn't be excited over the first edition of their own school paper? Yes, the staff had finally succeeded in publishing the first Tiger Rag. The begin- 4 ning had surely been hectic. Having de- cided upon a printed paper, rather than a mimeographed one, the sixty-four dollar question was how to finance it. There was added expense for pictures which the staff thought would be a great addition to the paper. After many meetings and much discussion, the administration finally agreed to help finance the paper, if the re- mainder of the money could be obtained from sub- scriptions. Every edition of the 1953 Tiger Rag was enjoyed by the students, and helping with the paper was a profitable experience for each member of the staff. ru ., A Q 5 1 Joe Michie, Editor A .

'R PEPSTEH Once again this year the Pepsters did a fine job of keeping up the spirit of our school activi- ties. They took pride in and enjoyed the planning of the coronations and honoring dances of both the football and basketball queens. During the football season they participated in car parades, pep assemblies, and a snake dance on the eve of the Thanksgiving game. The club, with the ad- ministration's permission, sponsored bus trans- portation to all of the games. All in all, the Pepsters helped immensely in making 1953 a good school year.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB USC The Music Department saw much ad- vancement this year under the expert direc- tion of Mr. Kenneth Fidler. We deeply regret losing him next year, for during his two years with us he has done an excellent job in the Music Department. The band played a big part in boosting the spirit of students in basketball games, football games, and assemblies. They par- ticipated in the Christmas Parade, Hallow- een Parade, Get-Out-the-Vote Parade. and pep rallies. The band took part in several out-of-town activities, such as the SeMo Band Marching Festival at Jackson, the SeMo Band Concert Festival at Lilburn, and the County Band Festival at Holland. Locally the band presented programs for the Rotary Club, Spring Festival, and Open House. The girls glee club, too, was very active. They entered the District Contest at Cape Girardeau, where they received a 1 rating, and the State contest at Columbia where they Firsl Row: Jordan, Moody, Edgerton. White, C.

SCORE also made a good appearance. The girl's glee club sang at many clubs, including the Meth- odist Men's Club, the Rotary Club, the Woman's Club, and the SeMo Club. Some of the girls helped make up the cast of the operetta, Words and Music . The mixed chorus, like the band and glee club, is to be congratulated on the progress it made this year. The chorus presented pro- grams for the Presbyterian and Christian churches, the Men's Club, and Woman's Club. For the Christmas Assembly, the mixed chorus presented an enjoyable Christ- mas play. The students of the mixed chorus went to the District Contest at Cape Girard- eau and the County Festival at Holland. One of the highlights of the school year was the operetta, Words and Music , presented by the mixed chorus. As a brilliant climax to the year's work, the entire music department joined in pre- senting to the public and students an out- standing program, the annual Spring Music Festival. l AL. The Choraliers is an outstanding ensemble of voices from the Mixed Chorus. They have had a busy year singing for various organizations and clubs in our city.

Muscles took shape quickly and it wasn't long before the boys were wearing pads, working on offensive plays, and knocking the tackling dummies around. With only a few modifications, the Tigers used the same offensive that was used last year, a modified single wing with the line unbalanced to the right. The '52 team was a young one having little experience, with only seven lettermen of '51 returning. The many conference awards the Tigers received indicates that they worked hard and improved at the season progressed. The Tiger offense was one we can be proud of. When the season was over it had wrapped up a total of 130 points during the 10 games. Although the boys had a 3-1-6 record, they worked hard and lost several heart-breakers. Many of us at C. H. S. feel that we had a better team than the scores indicate. Hopes run high for next year, since most of the boys are returning with a year's experience under their belts.

The first important meet of the year was the Kennett Invitational Meet with teams from all over Southeast Mis- souri. The Tigers received 3rd place honors. The District Meet, held at Cape, saw the boys in high hopes of qualifying some Tigers for the State Meet. Their hopes were realized when Hughes got second place in the 100, the 880 relay team placed second, and the mile relay team finished fifth. The Tigers went to Poplar Bluff twice this season, for the Bluff Relays, and for the Big Eight Conference Meet. They did well in both, with several boys bringing home medals. The County Meet, after several postponements, turned out to be a real thriller. Our boys won several top honors in a close battle with Hayti, losingfirst place by just 1 point.
