Cotton Blossom Staff Pictures Life of C. H. S. EDITOR JANIE KINDRED and Assistant Editor Jane Ellen Markey confer over the preparation of yearbook copy. The Cotton Blossom staff presents, This Is Our Life, C. H. S. as the theme for the 1956 annual. Shortly after the first of the year, the various staff divisions were selected. The new journalism class served as the literary staff, and the art staff was composed of the advanced art students. Members of the business staff were chosen from applications made to the sponsors. In November, preceding the first work meeting, a dinner was held for the entire staff. Then, in an after-school session, the group selected the theme. The week of December 12-16 was set aside as Cotton Blossom Week. In an assembly on December 15, four lovely girls were presented to the student body and a panel of adult judges. At the Cotton Blossom Ball that night, the attractive young Queen was crowned. As money-making projects, the staff made and sold Christmas corsages during the special week and solicited ads from the local merchants. For their contribution to the Juvenile Decency Campaign, the staff conducted a religious census among the students and sponsored Religious Emphasis Week during the week preceding Easter.

The biggest project of the year for the girls was preparing for the crowning of the Varsity Queen, Bunnie VanAusdall. In addition, the club sponsored dances after the football games, pep rallies, car parades, two assembly programs, and sold shake-a-roos and football programs at the games. Guided by Mrs. Nathan Wood and Mrs. Thomas Mock, the group got into the spirit of the Juvenile Decency Campaign by sponsoring a Courtesy Week during which time courteous students were chosen and presented to the student body. Each student rated as courteous also received a courtesy button. In May the cheerleaders were chosen for the coming year. Those selected were Sue Bader, Ann Taylor, Patty Sawyer, Carolyn Davis, and Jane Ellen Jones. CHEERLEADERS: Sawyer. Bader. B. VanAusdall. E. Christian. Taylor. FIRST ROW: Vick. Richardson.
