' o .'- P Kmg Cotton si King Cotton, mythical king of Cotton World, hearing that the Cotton Blossom staff of C.H.S. plans to honor him by using Cotton Production as its 1955 theme, decides to visit our school. He is curious to learn how the staff will carry out the idea. He is met by Marjorie Baker, editor of the year- book, who immediately launches into an explanation of the over-all plan. lust take a look at our buildings, our beautiful campus, and our athletic field, begins Marjorie. Can't you just picture a bumper crop growing here? Then, too, we have a well-staffed plantation. A six-man board of directors and two managers set the policies, hire the workers, and handle all the problems. The head manager, lVlr. Cobble, with the staff for his first year, and Mr. Shel- ton, his assistant, are alert and progressive super- visors.

English Offers Variety 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty'-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. These are famous lines from one oi Iohn Keat's poems, studied by the English IV class taught by Mrs. Lorene Cunningham. In addition to English literature, the students wrote different types of themes and news articles about school activities, and presented an original assembly pro- gram on English literature and music. Parts of this program were later broadcast over the local radio station. Besides studying grammar and literature, Mrs. Doro- thy lV1ock's Enghsh Ill classes during a study of Parlia- mentary procedure, established clubs for the purpose of guiding discussions on teen-age problems. The members of the class also arranged bulletin board displays and carried out projects pertaining to units studied in literature. ln the four sections of English II, Mrs. Cunningham stressed theme writing. Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Mock each taught two sections of English I. In these classes they emphasized the fundamentals of grammar and literature for enjoyment. lZ'1U!nhi'i'1 H1211 ---'liinl Social Studies Put Their Learning Into Practice The five teachers in the social studies department believe in a practical application of the knowledge they impart. After studying our system ot courts, Mrs. Louise Parker and Mr. Iohn McGuire, with their civics classes and Miss Mary Ellen Horner, with her American problems class, attended a court trial. This latter class also ex- pressed their views on juvenile delinquency in a panel dis- cussion for the radio public, and learned election proce- dure through a visit to the polls on election day. As a result of research work in the American history classes, the students presented an assembly program of living pic- ture portraying Christmas in America Through the Years. The-geography students studied local industries by field trips to three Caruthersville plants. In addition to the subjects already mentioned, Mr. Thomas Mock teaches two classes in world problems, Mr. Parkinson, classes in American history and Missouri history, Miss Horner, a geography class, and Mrs. Parker, a seventh grade social studies class.

Miss Lena Walk, instructor in this department, teaches stu- dents the different phases in this field. Gen- eral math students gain a taste of geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and business arith- meticp Algebra I students discover the uses of x, y, z, and other letters to solve their prob- lems. Those students taking geometry find that plain isn't the word that they thought it was when they use axioms, postulates, and theorems in solving their problems. In the Open House, the exhibit in the math department showed the achievement of all the students in the above work. .a 'Wi-J , i What's Happening In The Science Lab? Phew! What is that awful smell? This is cz familiar remark in the halls of C.H.S, when the chemistry class is working on an experi- ment. Nevertheless, in spite of the smells, these experiments and study enable the students to learn the chemical composition of the products they use. The course in chemistry, taught by Mr. Iack Hopke is valuable in preparing tor the study of higher sciences. In addition to chemistry, Mr. Hopke teaches three freshman classes of general science and one course in biology and he also coaches the junior high tootball and basketball teams. x gg. .M 1-1 . z --,bwmr'11...rnn..1-sn.L-ni.: ..1.a.A,.2...1,n- 111-.,.1.,,4..1g..a :.zri,,i 1.411-rI.s.'-t,.l'x.'

Mr. Redman Dunham, who has been with the school for a number of years, teaches bookkeeping, beginning typing, business law and business English.

This expansion made it necessary to buy several new pieces of equipment- among these were a new shaper, table saw. metal lathe, a wood lathe, and a drill press. These new tools and machinery were valu- able in making the articles which were exhibited at Open House. Mr. Darr also teaches classes in general shop, mechanical and architectural drawings, advanced wood working and boat building. 5.1 T it SANDIN G AND Ioh REPINIS Geollsonl Aud'9Y MCCUYCZUNG Wood seems 96 Hollowell busy GH.

Besides this formal exercising, Coaches Iohn McGuire and Ioe Parkin- son instruct the students in acrobatics, archery, vol- leyball, tennis, Badminton, kickball, croquet, ping- pong, shutfleboard, basketball, and baseball. For those who are unable to take physical edu- cation, Mr. Parkinson teaches a half unit course in health. The structure of the body, the functioning of its organs, the care of the body, and first aid are phases of health which are stressed. To demonstrate their knowledge of first aid, the class presented an assembly on February 18. 3 Q FIRST AID is administered to patients Seabaugh, Pool. Harry. Book.

KA! lettl PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS Ioe Parkinson and Iohn McGuire Speech And Spanish Dramatize Their Learning To become acquainted with the Spanish-speaking countries, the Spanish class taught by Mrs. Artie Moodie, had many extra-curricular activities this year. To learn more about Spanish foods and recreation, the class pre- pared and served a Spanish supper, played Spanish card games, and played Scrabble using Spanish words. The featured attraction of a Christmas party was a pinata, a large container, appropriately decorated and filled with candy and cookies and prizes, which was broken to shower the party with its contents. In a school assembly. the class presented their original version of a Spanish Cinderella. The scene of the prince's ball allowed them an opportunity to show what they had learned of Spanish songs and dances. This same scene was presented over WMCT Television in Memphis. The speech class also had a full schedule this year. After studying the drama, they presented cr comedy, The shock of His Life to the student body and later at a District Drama Meet. Following a unit in story-telling, several stu- dents retold their stories for the benefit of the Southside students. Other subjects studied were panel discussions, pantomimes, and make-up.

Practical Knowledge T When one considers home economics, he usually thinks, Well, that department concerns only cooking and sewing. This however, is not true. Although these are the most important phases, Mrs. Dorothy Wood, the home econo- mics instructor, also teaches marketing, menu planning, interior decorating, home manage- ment, child care, good grooming, and many other things that are essential to a good home- maker. Besides their work in class, the home eco' nomic students also engage in outside activi- ties. A group of senior students attended The Home Show at Memphis to see all that is new in homes. They also participated in the Woman's Club Style Show by modeling dresses they made themselves. Vocational agriculture, taught by Mr. Floyd Barnhart, in addition to its regular classroom work, stresses a home supervised farming pro- gram for each student. In 1954 the boys total net labor income was over 37.000, This substantial income is quite indicative of the value of such education and participation. Mr. Barnhart is not only a teacher in his field, but also has the distinction of being an author of textbooks. Sensing the need tor better instructional material in the particular crops of our area, he has written two textbooks, one entitled Cotton and the other, Soybeans. Both of these books have been widely accepted by agriculture classes. Qllfflliliflhydiiililak T? The Art And Music Departments - Busy Places The annual Christmas Art Tea, given by the art department under the direction of the instructor, Mrs. Irene Hazel, was an eagerly awaited event again this year. Some days before the tea, the art students had been in a whirl wrapping Christmas packages and making door and table decorations. These, with other crafts, were placed on display for the tea. A The art students are often called upon to use their talent in many ways. ln any drive or campaign they are always there with a colorful poster to encourage student interest in these activities. They also serve their time decorating for parties or assemblies. Phases of Art I, Il, or III, which the students enjoy, are basketry, leathercratt, weaving, ceramics, and jewelry, as well as designing, lettering, drawing, and painting. The music department, after an inter- rupted start, tinished the year in its usual manner. This was due to Mrs. Beverly Shelton, who replaced Mr. Henry O'Don- nell when ill health forced him to resign at Christmas. The activities ot this depart- ment are described in the section dealing with organizations. FINE ARTS TEACHERS Mrs. Irene Hazel, art. and Mrs. Beverly Shelton. music.

Besides keeping a wellstocked library, Mrs. Moodie arranges attractive bulle- tin board displays to entice the students to take advantage of the variety of books offered. In addition to these displays, book reviews are given to each class, helping them to discover the pleasures to be found in reading. For enjoy- ment as well as reference reading, Mrs. Moodie also l-:eeps the magazine rack well supplied. Mrs. Louise Brown supervises the study hall and assists with the library work. Guidance Department, An Adjustment Bureau I surely would like to talk to someone: it makes me feel better. Words like these often come from C.H.S. students: therefore, as an invitation for them to seek his help, Mr. Thomas Mock our counselor, always keeps the front door open. Because of this shoulder to cry on, many students have gotten their feet on the ground, and have more easily adjusted themselves to high school life, besides thinking of plans for the future. In addition to counseling, other guidance services are offered such as testing, and vocational and educational plan- ning.

' How Crop Is To Be S 5 ldla it S Cultivated King Cotton, I'm wondering if you remember the old methods farmers used in cultivating their crops, remarked Marjorie. Don't you recall that not many years ago a farmer used only a mule and a plow. But times have changed. Now he uses mechanized equipment and many new methods. He adds fertilizer to the soil: he tries cross cultivation: he uses modern equipment. All of these improvements aid in producing a better grade of cotton. Similarly our schools are producing more well-rounded students because we have added to our old limited curricula of the three r's many extra-curricular activities. We have sports to develop the body and organizations to train leaders and followers. Our assemblies and other performances develop the talents of many students and entertain the student body. Parties and dances provide recreation, and campaigns and drives encourage giving to worthy causes. We believe all these activities will produce a much superior crop.

We had long wanted a concrete court, but the cost seemed prohibitive to everyone-that is, every one but our president, Iulie Hawkins. To her, raising the money for a court provided a challenge-it could be one big P1'0j9Cf of the SJ-LC.

This was the first,question up for discussion at the first yearbook staff meeting. Finally someone came up with the idea, Why not use a theme relating to our locality? What about Cotton Production? The staff readily accepted this idea and immed- iately set to work to make overall plans. To advertise the subscription drive, the staff sponsored a Cotton Blossom Week, climaxed by a carnival at which the Cotton Blossom Queen was crowned. The business staff sold ads to local merchants to raise the remain- ing amount. After the money was assured the other staffs started working on their individual problems. The photographer had to hurry to get pictures of the sev- eral cotton production stages: the literary staff had the job of relating the processes of producing a cotton crop to the processes of education and graduation of o large crop of students: the art staff was faced with the problem of finding an unusual way to illustrate the theme. The coordinating of the work of the three staffs was not easy: but when the job was finished, the staff felt that King Cotton would be honored. - '-'-vv?.,,,.A-- PHOTOGRAPHER, Iane Aquino.

The crowning of the football and basket- W ball queens was the highlight of all projects. Then, to replace the departing senior cheerleaders, the club sponsored an assem- bly in order that the entire student body could have a vote in electing the 1956 cheerleaders. The last activity was in con- junction with the Build a Concrete Tennis Court Drive. To contribute its share of the money, the Pepsters held a bake sale which resulted in S50.00.

The most ambit- ious project, that of taking over Radio Station KCRV one Saturday afternoon, was undertaken primarily for bettering public relations and also to raise money for the Bui1d a Concrete Tennis Court Drive. The students sold, wrote, and broadcast the advertising, reported the news- casts, and announced the programs, some of which were tape-recorded school programs, others were disc jockey programs. The manner in which the members got behind this big pro- ject and carried it through showed they had the qualifications necessary for Honor Society membership-leadership, scholarship, charac- ter, service. Other activities carried out were: awarding a Scholarship Banner each quarter to the top ranking home room: Senior Teaching Day, when seniors took over the elementary classes: a Valentine Party: and a Who's Who Contest.

The F.H.A. girls were having a time trying to decide what to do with a nineteen pound turkey which had been given them by the Missouri Poultry Association. Suddenly someone had the solu- 5 tion-a Mother-Daughter dinner! At this dinner the girls presented their emblem service in order to acquaint their mothers with the various phases of their organization. t Wanting to give the girls more than their local club could offer them, Mrs. Dorothy Wood, their instructor, took them on a number ot trips. They went to the Mid-South Fair at Memphis, the Sub-District Meet at Kennett, and the Dis- trict Meet at Cape Girardeau. Other projects the club carried out were: decorating a booth at the county fair, sending a package overseas, bringing food tor a Christmas basket, observing F. H. A. Week, broadcasting radio programs, and giving a tea in honor of the eighth grade graduates. F' H- A or L. G . ' PICERS B. C1 din Omg explain the -any C- Hicks, L Parliamentarian .

The Music Department Renders Service The music groups under the direction of Mrs. Beverly Shelton, gained experience this year by participating in various activi- ties. At home the band marched in the pep parades, the football games, and the bond issue parade. To benefit frown playing with other bands, they attended festivals at lack- son, Kennett, and Cooter. In the choral division, there are two large groups, the mixed chorus and the girls' glee club. The mixed chorus performed for the local Kiwanis Club and both groups participated in the Massed Choral Concert at Cape Girardeau. From these two groups, smaller groups of singers were selected for other performances. A girls' sextet entered the Cape contest and also sang for Religious Emphasis Week, while a mixed double quar- tet performed for a Memphis TV station as well as for graduation exercises. THE CAHUTHEHSVILLE BAND, directed by Mrs. Beverly Shelton, practices in their temporary classroom, the bus garage. The music department hopes to be in a new music building by the opening of the next school year. 1.7 in in vggm-55, In Q ,gl 3? EXE: gh ' 1 ' u I . Q t.

Students Dance And Play The work and tension of the 1954-55 school year was lightened by numerous parties. The first social event was a dance honoring the Freshmen, given by the S.A.C. early in September. One of the big fall events was the Home- coming Dance, on November 9, arranged by the Pep Club in honor of the Football Queen and her attendants. As a climax to Cotton Blossom Week, observed later in Novem- ber, the staff sponsored a Carnival with fun for all. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Cotton Blossom Queen. In keeping with the Valentine theme, the Honor Society invited the student body to a Red Hearts Dance, the first party of 1955. To offer variety in school parties the S.A.C. sponsored an April Foo1's Costume Dance at which everything was done backwards. At this last all-school party, the girls invited the boys and George Hollowell was crowned King. VALENTINE DANCE DECORATIONS were the objective of this strange activity by Honor Society members S.

STUDENTS pane: at the Chdsmcs A ms- ' Several Receptions Held This Year In order to add to the events of C.H.S., and to entertain as well, many receptions were held this year. Iust before the Christmas holidays, the art department held its annual tea at which the students displayed their work. During the holidays the S.A.C. sponsored an alumni assembly and reception for students who have graduated from C.H.S. in years gone by. ln Ianuary the I-'.F.A. members and their parents enjoyed their annual covered dish dinner. As a new project this year the F.H.A. girls enter- tained their mothers at a Mother-Daughter Dinner. In con- junction with Open House, in May. the home ec students held a reception for all visitors. Later in the same week they entertained all eighth grade girls to acquaint them with the home economics department. M-M-M GOOD says Alford Hicks at the F. F. A. Parents- Son Dinner.

Students Dig Into Their Pockets Again as in previous years, the students of C.H.S. contributed to many worthy causes. In some cases they contributed money: in others, they contributed time and work. The four classes started the year by collecting money for tour Care Packages. This project was spon- sored by the S.A.C. as their social service project. As a good will project, homerooms contributed to s a d t d y n oo to Christmas baskets which were distributed to needy iam ilie D ' s. uring Ianuary the homerooms made the Polio Drive a success. By sponsoring candy sales, box suppers, and other money making projects, they raised the sum of 3280. In the same month, the students contributed to the Red Cross and signed the scroll. The last drive, in April, was the Tennis Court Drive-a new project sponsored by the S.A.C. In order to raise money for a concrete co t th ur , e various organizations sponsored different projects to raise the amount of 3450. THE CONCRETE for the tennis court is poured by Otto Going, Coach Darr and Coach McGuire. Special Weeks Observed 1954-'55 was a school year of many special weeks in C.H.S. Earlv in September the S.A.C. spon- sored a Freshman Week to acquaint the freshmen with the various organizations and to let them see a little of high school life. In October, the S.A.C. spon- sored a School Pride Week when the students wrote essays and made posters, the S.A.C. presented sev- eral skits in assembly, and those students who wished to pledge themselves to take more pride in their school signed the School Pride Pledge Scroll. Similarly conducted was a Courtesy Week, in No- vember. The most courteous boy and girl were recognized, a poster contest was held, and skits were presented by each homeroom in an assembly. In March, for the first time in C.H.S., a Religious Empha- sis Week was held. During the noon hou.r special services were held, with students of all faiths partici- pating. This was an inspiring week lor the students of C.H.S. CAR MANNERSH was the prize winning skit presented by Miss Walk's Iunior Homeroom for the Courtesy Assembly. Actors are lack Streete.

The Student Bod In Assembl The students of C.H.S. enjoyed many assemblies this ear. M y ost of the programs were presented by various classes and or ani t' g za ions of the school: however, three assemblies were presented by South- ern School Assemblies. One was a science program on li uid ai ' th ' q r. e other two were athletic demonstra- tions on roller skating and trampoline. During the fall and winter seasons pep assem- bliesf f ' or ootball and basketball predominated. Other assemblies through the year were: Spanish play, Cotton Blossom and Thanksgiving assemblies in November: the play Girl Crazy, presented by Hayti High School, Safe Driving and Christmas assemblies in December: F.H.A., English IV, Health, Speech assemblies in February: F.F.A. program in March: selection of new Cheerleaders in April: Honor Recog- nition Day, May 6.

These were the words heard by the students of C.H.S. at the beginning of each homeroom period, as someone prepared to make an announcement over the new intercommunication system. Not only did this new system save time and energy, but it also allowed activities of C.H.S. to be carried on with more efficiency. In the front hall of C.H.S. is a new trophy case. This badly needed addition was a gift from the Key Club, an organization ot boys sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Although the club is not a school organization, it does much of its work in behalf ot the school. A noon hour patrol duty project and the oper- ation ofthe telebinocular machine were two invalu- able services of the club to high school and Southside students. Another addition to C.H.S. is a home-to-school telephone system which was linanced by the Rotary Club. With the aid of the telephone, Harlan Garner, a sophomore, was able to participate in his classes and thus keep up with his school work, although illness prevented his attending school the entire year.

In this big yield, have you thought of selecting any prize cotton for exhibition? Oh, yes, we have, King Cotton, replied Mar- jorie. Our year book staff went over the field and picked the cream of the crop. We had no trouble in selecting candidates from each class for Cotton Blos- som Queen. The four candidates were presented in an assembly. The judges made their decision, but it was not announced until November 19, the night of the Cotton Blossom Carnival. While everyone was enjoying the gay carnival spirit, the Emcee opened the seal of the envelope to reveal the judge's deci- sion. There was enthusiastic applause as Editor Marjorie Baker crowned Gertie Lou Iohnson, Cotton Blossom Queen for 1955. COTTON BLOSSOM BEAUTIES: Bunny VanAusdall. Martha Buchanan.

Open House Brings Interested Visitors C.H.S. opened its doors to approximately 250 parents and patrons on the night of May 9 when the school held its annual Open House. As the guests entered they registered and were given a directory. Their first stop was the gym, and who could blame them? The beautiful well-constructed boats, the living room and dining room suites, the many cabinets, tables, shelves, and lamps made by the boys in the industrial arts department would attract anyone. From the gym some went immediately to the art department where paintings, designs and all kinds of handicrafts were exhibited: others visited the color- ful and varied displays of projects and class work in the class rooms. During the evening everyone found his way to the refreshment table in the home eco- nomics department. Students in home ec., modeling the dresses they had made, also served as guides during the evening. Since all teachers were in their rooms Open House offered an excellent opportunity for them to meet parents and other guests.

After crossing the ferry, they soon arrived at the beach where they spent the day eating, swimming, boating, surf board riding, sun bathing, and just having a good time. They returned that afternoon tired and blistered, the results of a hot day and a wonderful time. The underclassmen were not so fortunate as the seniors. On May 12, at Magnolia, they were rained on until they were finally forced to return home fa drenched and bedraggled group. 51' 3 9 1-fin. J -- P.-4, , ..

As a whole the class was less nervous than at ,ML-rn o1v11L1NG FACES b 1 the Baccalaureate Service-that is, all but those sen- iors who were to take part on the program. However, as they mounted the rostrum, their sense of respon- sibility gave them assurance and the program be- gan.President George Richards delivered the wel- coming address, and introduced the speakers. Car- olyn Bookout talked on For This I Am Grateful : Linda Taylor, This I Believe g and Marjorie Baker, For This I Hope. Besides the talks, musical selec- tions were rendered by Charline King, Iulie Hawkins, and the double mixed quartette. Then the long awaited moment arrived-they were on the stage to receive their diplomas. After receiving awards and singing the school song for the last time, the 69 members of the graduating class marched out to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Some were sad, others glad, and some were relieved-the night was over. In the hall of C. H. S e Onged YO seniors as the after the Baccalaure g Congfeqated U 9 Service. 0 HHURBAH.

King Cotton asks Marjorie. To begin with, she replies, We are calling our freshmen, the 'Seedlings' At the first of the season they begin to appear through the ground. By careful tending, they branch out into well-developed young plants. lust as the farmer sees in his seedlings a good crop, so do we visualize in our freshmen the prospects of a future bumper crop. The following seedlings were outstanding in their class: S.A.C. Representatives: Mary Emma Merideth, Anne Going, Sue,Chris Mehrle, Lowell Foster.

As you know, King Cotton, this stage is important because it indicates that the plant is growing out of the baby stage and changing into a more mature and stable plant. So it is with our second stage, the sophomores, whom we are calling the squares. They, too, are growing out of the fresh, young, green stage into a more mature stage. Some of the larger squares were: S.A.C. Representatives: Connie Parrott, Ioe Iohnson, lane Ellen Markey.
