r COTTON BLOSSOM CARUTHERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL CARUTHERSVILLE, MISSOURI VOLUME We’ve only just begun to live White lace and promise, a kiss for luck and we’re on our way. Before the rising sun we smile So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run. We've only just begun Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way. Talking it over just the two of us. Working together day to day And when the evening comes, we smile So much of life ahead. We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow. Yes, we’ve only just begun.

Seniors began plans for another phase of their lives. Colleges were visited; applications for jobs filled out; careers explored; tests taken. All of this in addition to regular classes. For some, commencement was the last time they would see many of their classmates and friends. Among the promises to keep in touch and the plans for an early get-together, the thought was present that this would be the last visit for some. As they planned their various futures, seniors realized they were finally ending their high school years. Now that the end had come it wasn ’ as pleasant as many had anticipated. But commencement was also the beginning. The beginning of new friendships and new careers. Before too long this generation would be in charge of the nation. There was much work to be done in preparation and little time in which to do it. Truly, the seniors had just begun. 22 Susan Marie Boyd—Mixed Chorus: FHA; The Lottery , ' Barefoot in the Park Publicity. Mary Elizabeth Bruce Honor Graduate; EH A; FBLA; Colton Blossom.

The Junior-Senior Prom is the major extracurricular activity of the jolly juniors . The entire year of the junior class consists of hard work to raise the money necessary to give this spring dance for the seniors. By operating a concession stand at all home football and basketball games, and by selling sweatshirts and candy, they strive to earn a sufficient amount of money. At last spring arrives and the juniors find they finally have money enough for the band, decorations and refreshments. The juniors also found time to actively participate in school organizations. They served as officers. as members, and as representatives to various meetings and conventions. 32 Virgle Abshire Darlene A dams Melinda A vis Denny Baird Dale Barnes Benny Bell Roger Bennett Stephen Betz Joe Bowens Joe Boyd Nancy Boyd Terry Brantley Ron Brodie Leslie Brooks Suzie Bruce Steve Burress Judy Bush Tanna Byrd Quentin Cain Karen Cantrell David Cornell George Carr Alfred Carter Doyle Carter Kenneth Carter Let tie Jo Carter Melissa Chilton Ginger Coppage Terri Crowe Mary Dale Kenny DeHoff Rita Dillard Greg Cartwright Glenda Cherry Larry Cox Melissa Crane Dick Daniel Ann Davis Stan Dodd Ricky Dodson Emory Williams and Jo Duckworth chat with Mr. Prange on the football field.

The sophomores found high school very different from the junior high school. There was so much to do and so little time to do it in. How did a person ever decide which clubs to join, which activities to participate in? And, where do they find the time to study? High school was different, but it was fun. The classes were more difficult but learning was becoming easier. Eventually all settled down to the routine and the year quickly passed.

Textbooks were abandoned as science students dissected cats, or found that acid and water must be mixed carefully. All this prepared students for a world where scientific study is a necessity. The structure of the human body was a favorite topic of Advanced Biology. MUSIC ECHOED THROUGH Singing, a pastime of many, could be done for credit. Much more than just singing, however, was required of CHS music students. Students learned fundamentals of music, the history of music, and perhaps a better appreciation of it. The culmination of year-long musical effort was the annual spring concert. All music groups, girls and boys, took part. The band students presented their knowledge at the band concert, on the football field, at basketball games, and on parade. Music students from both groups participated in county and district music festivals. Billy Gregory and Denise Barnett provided music for Religious Emphasis Week. CHS HALLS Music students practiced in class before the concert. The girls' chorus sang for an assembly. 69 Joe Cagle and Chris Hoskins received athletic trophies. Fundamentals of volleyball was one sport taught in physical education. PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDS Coach Hugh James prepared to show students the fine points of artificial respiration. 70 Health and physical education classes sought to provide healthy outlets for the energy of CHS students. A well-rounded program taught skills and developed attitudes that would become a part of the student. Girls and boys learned the value of exercise. Teamwork and individual effort strengthened muscles as well as character. Julie Russell gave artificial respiration as Health Department representatives loctkedon. STRONG BODIES This is the way we build a pyramid said girls physical education students as Mrs. Speight looks for stragglers. 71 Industrial arts classes taught practical knowledge which was put to use.
