. . . And we remember how our school appeared to us in the winter . . . the lirst big snowfall settling quietly over the campus . . . the footprints of frolicking teen agers making a pattern on its smooth surface . . . these scenes are a part of our memories of life at C. H. S. Our school life is made of memories ... As each day passes, we add another memory ... a memory of our life at Caruthersville High School. We remember that first day feeling . . . the lump of excitement in the freshman's throat . . . the look of importance in the senior's eyes. We remember the excitement of football season . . . throats hoarse from cheering . . . the beginning of basketball season with lights beaming on the court . . . the track boys stretching their legs and triumphantly running away with the State championship. We remember the many club activities making our growth inevitable . . . the excitement of the S. A. C. election . . . traveling to drama and music contests and conventions. We remember the fun . . . the crowd standing on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of the Varsity Queen . . . the yearbook queen . . . and her court reigning over the gala Cotton Blossom Ball . . . We remember the last week of school . . . students staring dreamily out of the classroom windows wondering what's ahead . . . seniors trying on caps and gowns and becoming sentimental at the thought of graduation . ,. singing the Alma Mater for the last time . . . But most of all we remember that another year is over leaving us with many fond and treasured memories. THIS IS YOUR LIFE, C. H. S. 5
