'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.

Administrators constantly work toward better schools “Better schools make a better community.” With this idea in mind the 1061-62 Board of Education worked tirelessly on a new building program for the Caruthersville schools. 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.
