COTTON 'BLOSSOM 1962 CARUTHERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Camthersville, Missouri Volume 13 'Sounds of i9Ct C. H. S. is a world of sounds. Carefree talk and laughter on the campus before school, hurrying feet and clanging lockers before the last minute dash for class, and Mr. Teeters’ familiar voice on the inter-com with “May I have your attention please?” mark the start of another school day. The busy purposeful hum of classrooms is heard as students settle down to lessons. Noisy chatter mingles with the thud of books on lockers between classes. At the lunchroom during the noon hour, relaxed friendly conversation merges with the clatter of plates and silverware. With the clang of the 3:20 bell comes an explosion as students scramble to reach club meetings and practice for many activities. Athletes start the ‘hup-two” of calisthenics and cheerleaders practice yells for the next big game. The rap of a president’s gavel calling evening organization meetings to order, the blare of the juke box. the shuffle of dancing feet, and the cheers of football crowds continue the sounds of C. H. S. into the evening hours. As the last footsteps echo down the empty halls, peace settles over the buildings and no sound is heard for another day.

These unpaid members of the community gave many extra hours to this program which will make possible a new industrial arts building for the use of C. H. S. students. Many Board meetings, visits to local organizations, radio talks, citizens’ meetings and telephone calls helped to get out the vote for the important bond issue. The combined efforts of school personnel and civil leaders were rewarded when the issue passed by an overwhelming majority. Co-ordinating the work of the Board and that of the facultv was Superintendent Bransford R. Collier. His duties included hiring teachers, directing public relations, and recommending policies to the School Roard. Mr. Collier also took pride in Caruthersville’s continued ratinsr as a AAA-school and its membership in the North Central Association. MR. BRANSFORD COLLIER. Superintendent of Schools — B.S. and M.A. from the University of Missouri. MRS. EDWARD C. JAMES, Board of Education member and mother of two Caruthersville teenagers. MR. FRED HENLEY.

OTTO GOING, head of maintenance in the Caruthersville schools, looks over the plans for the new industrial arts building with Principal Howard Teeters. Active principal and faculty maintain busy schedule “May I have your attention please?” With this “greeting” the principal Mr. Howard G. Teeters started another busy school day. Making the morning announcements was only one of his many duties which included supervising the twenty-five teachers, taking disciplinary measures, attending games and other functions held at the school, and solving numerou® problems brought to him during the day. Attending bi-monthly facultv meetings, and sponsoring homerooms and clubs were only a few of the teachers’ extra-curricular activities. Grading papers, making out tests, and helping individual students, also required more time than their one free hour each day. PLAYING HOST to high school faculty members is Superintendent Collier.

Corbin, Adams, and Avis enjoy this moment. HEY, BOBBY, have you signed my book yet? inquires Nancy Crockett of Bobby Wilks as pens scratch busily on either side of her at the yearbook signing party, on September 5. Page 10 Endless registration lines, unbearable heat, the amusing initiation of a freshmen, the taking of class pictures, the fun of a first yearbook signing party, and the thrills of the opening football game of the season—all these made up the first days of the C. H. S. 1061-62 school year. “Our school to us . . “Ring around the rosy . . ” These were sounds heard during the first school week, as bewildered freshmen in their green hats sang the school song and played ring around the rosy in accordance with upperclassmen’s orders. The early September heat was intense. The beginning of regular homework again was painful. But it still was fun being hack with friends and in the stream of school organizations, parties, hall games, and class activities. Before they knew it, all four hundred and seventy-five C. H. S. students were hack at work and play—and the 1961-62 year had begun. GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR, seniors Don Snow and Harold Bynum present Danny Bennett with a pacifier as his prize for winning the Peanut Pushing Contest, one of the events of Freshman Week. MRS. FRANCES WALTON registers Linda Winters as anxious freshmen look on awaiting the questions which will officially enroll them in high school. ''THIS ISN'T QUITE AS EASY AS IT LOOKS, remark participants of the Peanut Pushing Contest, one of the many exciting events planned by the S.A.C. for all freshmen during the first week of school. Page 11 New fads and fashions make 1961-1962 distinctive 1961-62 was a year to remember. The U. S. held its breath when Alan Shepard led the way into space. All Americans felt renewed national pride over the historic flights of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. Rut it was also a year of continued anxiety. The Cold War was still with us; there was much talk of bomb shelters. It was a year of increased civic spirit in our town. Caruthersville “patted itself on the hack” when it approved school and factory bond issues bv large majorities and saw two new factory buildings begin construction. C. H. S. teenagers shared in the excitement of these world and local events—they were a part of their dailv lives. But 1961-62 was also a vear of new fads and fashions in C. H. S. The twist reached C. H. S. dances. Bouffant hair-do’s with hows. Ben Casev and “twistin’” blouses, raccoon-collared coats, and tennic chocs were the “tons”. Historic events and new fads and fashions made this year distinctive. C.H.S. STUDENTS Mary Estes and Jo Lynn Corbin read with pride of the historic flight of John Glenn. BOTH COLORED AND WHITE TENNIS SHOES are tops with male and female teenagers of C.H.S. in 1962.

C.H.S. goes to the annual American Legion Fair Autumn brings fair time to Pemiscot County. Exhilarating rides, grandstand shows, and cotton candy are all a part of the excitement students anticipate from year to year. C. H. S. felt they had a big share in the success of the 1961 fair, for their own Donna McGimpsey was American Legion Fair Queen, and two booths were exhibited bv the F. F. A. and F. H. A. Clubs. F. F. A. boys exhibited samples of crops taken from their own farms. F. H. A.’ers displayed a fallout shelter revealing necessities for a two-weeks’ survival in case of a nuclear attack. This idea was so appealing that a picture of the F. H. A. booth was shown in the National F. H. A. magazine, “Teen Times.” and also in “The Missouri Vocational Association Newsletter.” LOVELY Donna McGimpsey happily poses with the queen's bouquet after being chosen American Legion Fair Queen. PROUDLY DISPLAYING the F.H.A. booth are these club members: Nora Treece, Linda Vaughn, Beverly Tedder, Vicki Cravens, and Mrs. Ralph Pinion, the club sponsor.

A colonnaded southern colonial mansion facade, gray stone walls with clinging wisteria vines, and twinkling stars hung from the ceiling carried out this theme. In the center of each table was a single magnolia with blue crepe paper streamers radiating from it. A wishing well complete with a magnolia trimmed bucket was the center of attraction. The Jack Kinder Combo furnished music for dancing which ranged from dreamy pieces like “Moon River” to a wild “Mexican Hat Dance”. A pantomine of “Sweet Old Fashioned Girl” was performed in and around the tall Doric columns by Kathv Bizzle. Robert Mehrle and Larry Lancaster entertained with a saxaphone duet accompanied by Ronnie Manlev on the drums. Before leaving, each couple dropped a few pennies into the wishing well and made a wish.

Not only did astronaut Scott Carpenter orbit the earth three times, hut C. H. S. seniors also experienced an exhilarating sensation by receiving their diplomas. They spent anxious moments practicing for Baccalaureate, May 20. and then were surprised at Commencement by the hush that fell over the line at the first refrains of “Pomp and Circumstance.” Southeast Missouri State College Dean of Students. Dr. Forrest Rose, especially directed his Commencement address to the graduates as he stressed the importance of certain unchanging values in a rapidly changing world. He illustrated this by quoting an old music teacher. “ ‘A’ was ‘A’ yesterday, it’s ‘A’ today, and it will he ‘A’ tomor- PROUD RECIPIENT of the Senior Citizenship Award was Glenn Woods. Mr. M. L.

H. S. classroom doors. Schrunching of scissors and shirring of sewing machines in home ec . . . yells of excitement in physical education . . . banging of hammers and grinding of machinery in shop . . . popping and cracking of science experiments . . . the harmonizing of voices in the vocal department . . . pounding of clay in the art room . . . hum of discussion in manv other classes ... all were sounds of a busv school dav in C. H. S. in 1962. PHYSICS STUDENT, Carrie Ann Shaeffer, explains a circuit diagram to classmates, Nancy Scott, and Lee Roy Seymore. Science classes produce many unusual sounds Strange and sometimes wierd sounds emerged from the science department this year. Popping, cracking, and bubbling of often foul smelling concoctions were the specialty of the chemistry class, while physics students studied frequency and wavelength by using tuning forks and special recordings. General science classes had a chapter on sound and biology students brought in live specimens that contributed to the noise. Keeping abreast of new discoveries was a challenge to the instructors. Mr. Eugene Ouzts emphasized mathematics but covered all phases of science, in his general science classes. Advanced subjects were taught by Mr. lack Hopke. PROVING that they are not afraid of snakes, biology students, Pinion, Buchanan, Pierce, Cheek, and Carmean, carefully examine two.

World events influence social studies in C.H.S. 3-2-1-ignition-lift off! Anxiously following the events after the countdown, C. H. S. social studies students learned present day making of history as astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth. The study of current world and American problems. as well as the past, was the program of the civics, world problems, geography, American history, and American problems classes. I he teachers and students of these classes hoped to fulfill the purpose of social studies work, to make better-informed students who are concerned with the happenings of the day, and thus, intelligent, patriotic citizens.

Page 53 Students are kept aware of the importance of English Keeping students aware of the importance of English in modern times is the job of the English Department. It is becoming more and more necessary for students, whether they be college-bound or not, to learn to communicate and to put their thoughts on paper. English teachers, Marjorie Lasley, Patricia Brewer, Kathryn Spore, Edna Chaffin, and Polly Emmons, realized this and worked hard trying to steer students into thorough preparation for the careers they choose. C. If. S. requires three units of English and offers a fourth for students who wish additional English training or who are planning to enter college.

These future architects work on plans for everything ranging from lofty skyscrapers to underground bomb shelters. New industrial arts building planned for future Saws and drills buzzed in the industrial arts department as visions of a new building popped into the students’ and teachers’ minds. Increased enrollment in recent years has made necessary a larger building plus the offering of more advanced courses. Interest in the department was heightened by the possibility of seeing the application of ideas for the new building which students themselves suggested. Both teachers and boys in the shop classes were jubilant when citizens almost unani-mouslv approved the bond issue to finance the new building program. INDUSTRIAL ARTS INSTRUCTORS, Jim Hughey and Gerald Corbin, look over the plans for the shop building which will make possible advanced wood working and electronics. Mr. Hughey and Mr. Corbin received their B.S. degree from Southeast Missouri State College and Central Missouri State College.

Child care program - something new in home economics Education now for excellence in the future suggests the atmosphere of the home economics department. C. H. S. girls were trained in the manv facets of homemaking under the direction of Mrs. Janice Pinion. As in the other two classes, the first year students had units on meal planning. Yet, beginning economists found that learning basic procedures of sewing was a highlight of first year work. Among other things, second year girls participated in Christmas decorating in the home and clothing units. Pre-school age children were guests of the department in a nursery held as a part of the advanced work in child care. THIS IS FUN, say Nancy Crockett and Karen Robinson as they amuse these children in the home economics child care project.

Win or lose—Tigerettes support Tiger team Happy after each victory, yet, sportsman-like after each loss, the Tigerettes contributed their encouraging yells to boost the Tiger team. These pepsters not only yelled at every game, but also gave their time and effort for other activities. They decorated goal posts, beautified the throne for the Varsity “C” queen, held pep meetings and parades, and practiced with their tricky flashcards for the tournaments. WHEN YOU'RE UP, YOU'RE UP ' say cheerleaders, Dowd, Cheek, Dillard, Morse, and Farrow. Not pictured: Latimer.

They soon found out that along with all the glory and fun of high school went a lot of hard work and study. In addition to initiation duties the first week of school, freshmen learned their schedules, figured out how to use their locks, and got acquainted writh their high school courses. For a whole week they were seen in strange positions as they pushed peanuts and called hogs all over C. H. S. Freshmen have shown their stuff. Twenty-four had perfect attendance, and fourteen were on the honor roll for three quarters. Five freshmen girls will he cheerleaders and two made majorette staff for 1962-63. MAYBE YOU DO IT THIS WAY, comments Susan Pinion, freshman class president, to other class officers Ora Smith, treasurer; Tommy Thomas, vice president; Cheryl Teeters, reporter; and Jane Neeley, secretary, as they try to figure out how a combination lock works.
