Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1926 volume:

The Cascade Comet Published by the Senior Class of Cascade High School VOLUME I Year 1926 AS the Comet of great beauty flashes across the sky, disturbing its serenity, obscuring momen- tarily the brilliance of the silent stars, and leaving behind it a beautiful trail of light, so we hope that our Comet, for whose success we are re- sponsible, will leave behind it a continuous trail of Comets, of even greater brilliance from the Classes yet to come. 2 Foreword THE CASCADE COMET is an outstand- ing feature of our Senior Class, and will be of many other Senior Classes to come. Our effort in publishing this volume is to make known the spirit and excellent quali- ties of our High School. It also serves to record the traditions of the Cascade High School, as a memory, never to be forgotten, of the school year of 1925-26. Our class wishes to express its hope that the school may find in this book, “The Cascade Comet,” amusement and interest. 3 The Cascade Comet Staff Editor .... Asst. Editor...........

THE 1926 CASCADE COMET. 5 History and Development of the Cascade Public School As this is the first Annual to be published in our school we think it advisable to present to our readers an account of the noble efforts put forth to gain an education for the children in and around Cascade. The history of our school dates back for many years, and has changed considerably from that time till the present. Some people of our community, seeing our school today, note the advance that has been made in building, equipment, and education, from the first one roomed school house at the foot of the hill. As the community around Cascade became more settled, and the land taken up by settlers, the people saw the need for a school. The district then was very large, taking in much territory, apportioned by the county. The spot selected for the building of the first school house, was the lot at the foot of the hill where Ben Brown’s house now stands. The money necessary for the building was acquired by contributions from some of the good hearted people of the community, who realized that the young people must be educated. The school house with one room was completed in the summer of 1888, ready for the opening of school in September. The first school board consisted of Thomas Switzer and John Tabor; Joe Stewart acting as clerk. Cora House, now Mrs. Swed- bloom of Chestnut Valley, was the first teacher. Among the families that were represented this year were the Shepherds, Flyns and Brewsters. Several years later a need for more space resulted in an addition to the school house. The board now consisted of Edward Bull, Nathaniel Webb and William Taylor. In 1905 under the direction of Mr. Melvin Rowe, two years of high school were added to the grade school. In 1909 a school house was built with four rooms at the top of the hill, where our school stands now. The board now consisted of J. H. Jones W. B. Taylor and Edward Talman. In 1910 Mrs. Gladys Brown was hired as primary teacher and de- serves mention for being a very good teacher. She stayed in our school for nine years. In the fall of 1918 the Chestnut Valley school was consolidated with our District No. 3. A school bus was used to transport the students to and from school. Others have been added since for the same purpose. Our last reconstruction was made in 1918 and 1919 when an addition was made to the old four roomed building. This included the Junior High Department, a modern equipped Home Economics and Science Laboratory, and an Agriculture or Manual Training room. The feature of greatest interest was the large maple-floored Assembly hall, used for study. It has proved a fine place for Friday night parties. Another addition was the stage, with a curtain in front, and a trap door in its floor, which some of the pupils soon found, and made use of, to hide from the teacher who could hear the voices from below but could make no discovery. One of the old rooms was, also made over into a well equipped Commercial Department. While the carpenters were busy on the remodeling of the school house on the hill, there was not enough room for all of the grades there, so the fifth and sixth grades moved to the Echo Building, until the school was finished. A part of our present class of '26 had the privilege (if one may call it such) of passing that year there. It was similar to a country school with a large stove in the middle of the room; hooks in one corner served as a cloak room and a water pail and dipper con- stituted a fountain. The tricks on the teacher and the various good times that the students had in that year will never be forgotten. The first graduation class that the C. H. S. boasted was in 1918; it consisted in number of six students. The graduates have increased in number since then. The largest class was the class of ’25 which was fourteen in number. A number of changes were made at the beginning of this year, when more space was needed for class rooms, a necessity arising under the new supervised study plan. Every student must be in class with his teacher now, all of the period, and thus the coal bin, the fire escape and stage have ceased to be study apartments for groups of two’s and three’s. The stage has now been partitioned off for a grade class room. We, the class of ’26 will leave the rest of the classes to watch the advancement and changes of our school in the years to come, and record them in the Annuals that follow this one. 6 7 Board of Trustees II.

I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man; and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness, I learned the language of another world.” What a familiar, but still unfathomable mystery is night to all of us. We watch and wait for its coming, bringing with it peace and a soothing influence, but still giving us a feeling that some super-natural power has taken control of this earthly sphere. The most beautiful part of night is the glory of the stars, giving us an idea of the greatness of God and covering the earth with a mysterious and subtle atmosphere. In every life there is a night time, when happiness and the light of day are replaced by hours of care and sorrow, and, young tho’ we may be, yet we have learned some of life's lessons, formed in our minds an :dea of what night is and also discovered that we need these hours of darkness. In them we come face to face with ourselves. They bring out the strength of goodness and virtue in us, and, by doing this, prove our worth and show whether we are worthy of com- mendation or condemnation. It is the night that brings out in us the stars of faith, love, hope and humility, and brings us into closer communion with the Creator of all things. Classmates, our lives are just beginning; we realize but little what life is and what the night of life is. But, let us never forget that our fate is the fate of all, and as the Star of Bethlehem led the wise men of the East to the land of Love and the Prince of Peace, so may the stars of night lead us thru the darkness of discouraging environments into the blessed sunshine of success, prosperity, and happiness. So, when the night seems especially dark, let us remember that every night must have a dawn and let us strive to make the dawn of our night brightest of all............ 16 Class History The Class of ’26 We, the class of '26 of the Cascade High began our troubles and happiness twelve long years ago. It was in the year of 1914, when most of us started, not all here, however, only two have journeyed together, through the many long terms of school, at last to separate. Elizabeth Sanderson and Pearl Taylor began together, and for two years were the only two girls in the class, but in the third grade they were joined by Lucille Roloff and Annie Hewitson. These remained long enough to gain our sincere friendship, but left us at the end of the seventh grade, to continue school elsewhere. We greatly appreciated our teacher during the third and fourth grades, who is at present Mrs. F. C. Vanatta, of this city. In this year we were joined by Gordon Bradley, Edward Seaton and Marshall Perrine, but the former only remained with us a few years and then passed on to a larger school. The consolidation of schools proved to be advantageous, for many new classmates were admitted who have stayed to graduate with us. Nellie Jemison and Junior Lyman entered school at this time. In our sixth grade we remained the same group; but in our seventh grade we were joined by three brilliant sixth graders who were too smart for their own class, and were put up with us, namely, Frances James, Helen Hughes and Evelyn McCormack. They were supposed to set us an example, but we still ruled. We were also joined here by two more of our beloved classmates, Creta Wilson and Georgia Marsh. Then came the eighth year and with it those dreaded state exams. At the first of the year we were joined by another of those studious seventh graders, Bill Shanklin. Most of us entered the C. H. S. the next spring of '22, as queer little freshies, 31 strong. Several of these came from parts of the country near here; most of them have left us, however. As freshmen, we were made to toe the mark, for the rest of the High School, especially the dignified sophs, showed us what High School life meant. We secretly enjoyed this life, however, and many times were the victors in battles, including the initiations, as which a free-for-all fight was staged. But we soon forgot the hard feelings the sophs had caused and settled down to work. In a few weeks we entertained in return at an assembly party, and they enjoyed it, as we proved good entertainers. We were joined by another of our classmates, Mabel Strunk, at this time, who decided to try her luck with the rest of us. 17 September of '23 soon rolled around and back we came to enjoy the fun and to suffer the agony that that year was to bring us. At this time we gathered in Lester Munroe. Although the class had decreased in number, it had increased in knowledge; but only ten of our 31 freshies remained. We felt important, but our importance was shown over the freshies only—never over the upper classmen; they were too superior. The girls showed their ability by serving or rather by being granted the honor (?) of serving the Faculty, Juniors and Seniors at the Junior- Senior Banquet of ’24, if it can be called honor to carry food and dishes up three flights of stairs. Twenty-four soon took the place of Twenty-three. Boy! Our day had come. We were almost at the top now, and we would show the .superior Seniors we were their partners. Our class was well represented in every undertaking of the C. H. S. this year. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet of ’25 proved to be the outstanding affair in the social affairs of the High School that year. A great deal of effort was put forth by our small number to accommodate about fifty at our banquet and 300 at our prom. Many unforgettable memories we have now of events which occurred in our Junior year; and we hated to see it go by; but we could not stop it, for time flies—we know not where. However, we grew to love our classmates in this year, more so than in former years, and grew to understand what each one's presence meant to us all. Then came our last year, supposed to be our best, but as we look back each year has been a stepping stone, each teacher has done her best to help us to get where we are. We were again joined by Edward Seaton, one of our old freshmen. Our parents have striven to keep us in the right paths of life, and the work in which the school board and community as a whole have cooperated in order to bring us to this point, has been appreciated by us all. However we deeply regret leaving the old High School, but we hope as alumni we will be remembered in its halls and classrooms, as leaving something that is worth remembering. As we go through life, we will always remember our High School days. Our motto will always be first in our thoughts and when our work is over we will remember—The Night Brings Out the Stars. THE END 18 Class Prophecy I was awakened from a deep sleep by a touch on my arm. On looking up I saw a masked figure standing beside the bed. It said not a word but beckoned mysteriously, and hardly knowing what I did I stumbled from my bed and followed. We seemed to float through the air for some time and presently I found myself in a large hall. It was filled with men and women and a chairman faced the attentive group. We were not noticed and hovered in the back of the room, listening to the man in the chair. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “We are met here today, on the twepty-first day of May, One thousand, Nine hundred and Seventy-five, to decide some new monuments for the hall of fame. Has anyone a name to suggest?” A man rose and said: “Mr. Chairman, I suggest for the first one William Shanklin.” He spoke with deep reverence. There was silence for a little time, then a voice from the other side of the room spoke up: “What did he do?” The first speaker turned with withering scorn. “I am surprised at your ignorance, he said. “For the benefit of our friend I will say that Mr. Shanklin, in my opinion was one of the world’s greatest men. He will make history for centuries to come.” “Yes, but what did he do?” “Ladies and gentlemen, it pains me to have to tell anyone of the achievements of a man so great. Briefly, sir, Mr. Shanklin was the president of Yale-Harvard University for something like fifty years. He made it what it is today, sir.” The man’s air impressed his audience considerably, and there w as some little pause before the chairman spoke again. “We will lay Mr. Shanklin’s name on the table to be voted on later. Is there another name to be suggested?” A tall white-haired lady rose and said, with dignity: “Mr. Chairman, I wish to suggest Miss Helen Hughes, the world’s first and greatest woman candy manufacturer and mail-order merchant.” I turned to the masked figure at my side. “That all comes from Mrs. Murphy’s excellent training.” The figure nodded but spoke no word. Then he pointed to the room and I saw that another motion was in progress. The chairman was speaking. “Miss Elizabeth Sanderson has been suggested for the Hall of Fame on the strength of her services as head telephone operator of New York City. Her name will be held.” 19 The next suggestion came from a tall, solemn man near the front. “I suggest Mr. Edward Seaton. His remarkable work in the Forestry Service gained for him the position of Secretary of the Interior, and rivals that of Theodore Roosevelt in the preservation of natural re- sources.” His name was laid on the desk for further consideration and another motion was placed. A man in a priest’s black coat made the next suggestion. “Mr. Chairman, of all men who deserve the Hall of Fame, among the first must surely come our late brother, Bishop Munroe of the Methodist Episcopal church.” “A very good suggestion,” announced the chah-man, and the clerk wrote the name, Bishop Lester Munroe. The next motion was placed by a woman in the gown of a deaconess. “Mr. Chairman,” she said, in a soft, gentle voice, “I wish to suggest Creta Wilson and Frances James. As you all know there is a space on either side of the statue of Florence Nightingale. I think it would be well to place Nurse Wilson and Nurse James beside her.” The chairman bowed his head in acquiescence and the clerk wrote the names. The next person to speak was the president of Montana State College. He introduced himself and asked the ladies and gentlemen to consider the names of Misses Pearl Taylor and Maybelle Strunk. Miss Taylor, he said, was professor of English in M. S. C. for forty years and Miss Strunk was professor of Home Economics for the same length of time. They both did much for the college. His tribute was well received and their names were written. “Is there anyone else?” asked the chairman, “If not I will adjourn the meeting and we will vote on these names tomorrow.” There was a pause and the chairman was just starting to speak again when a man whom everyone recognized as the featherweight pugilistic champion of the world, advanced into the center of the room and spoke. “Mr. Chairman,” he said, “I wish to suggest the greatest feather- weight champion in the history of pugilism, Mr. Junior Lyman, better known as ‘Ike.’ As you doubtless know, his remarkable quickness in the ring won him this name.” The chairman rose. “We will put that name on the table,” he announced. The meeting is adjourned.” I was aroused by a touch on my arm and, turning, saw that my com- panion beckoned and we floated off in a dream. 20 Class Will of ’26 We, the class of ’26, being noted for our good looks and generosity, do hereby bequeath this last will and testament to the faculty and to the students of the Associated Student Body of the Cascade High School. To the Associated Student Body we leave our sincere regards, and hope that it will continue in the future as successfully as it has in the past. We also hope that they, as the years come and go, will experience an extensive growth and expansion, not only in numbers, but also in beauty and strength of character, in democracy and active leadership. To the Juniors, we leave our dignity and the South East corner of the assembly, and hope they will keep the high standard of education we have attained. A pair of first class clippers, only slightly used, by the Seniors, we also bequeath to the Junior class, with the fond hope that next year’s Juniors will be seen shorn. To the Sophomores, we leave our beauty and our ambition; we also leave our strong pull with Mrs. Blair to this gallant class. To the incoming freshies, we leave the right to disturb the assembly once in awhile and the right to flirt with the janitor. To Kenneth Mortag, Bill Shanklin leaves his long nursed desire to be a big man. To all sentimental Juniors, Sophs and Freshies, Ed. Seaton leaves his money and several love disappointments. Helen leaves to Maude Appleyard her dieting receipt. Elizabeth hates to leave her beau to some other little girl, as he is a freshman and she can’t take him along with her. Mabel leaves her extra weight to Garnett McCollim so he can play basketball easier. Frances James leaves her polish and vanity case to Clara Bready. Creta leaves some of her curly locks to John Flannagan. Pearl Taylor leaves her speed to Fred Nicholson and her superfluous knowledge to Prof. Bergen. Lester leaves his physical ability to Pat Perrine. Junior Lyman leaves his shaving set to Isabelle Bruneau for her mustache. The Seniors leave the continuation of the Comet and competition of this year’s masterpiece to the ignorant and debased members of the Junior class. Last, but not least, Miss Kubin leaves to anyone who will take it the most thankless job in the world, class advisor of Seniors. 21 Excelsior Revised Class Poem The days of school are ending fast And we the Seniors of our class Are longing’ for the 'final' day When we shall pass forth on our way. Adieu. We look back thro' the last four years A veritable vale of tears, But yet in spite of griefs and woes We dread to leave both friends and foes. O, My! Our freshman year was full of grief, As Sophs we gathered much relief, But when as Juniors we raised Our heads, and crowed, in true self praise. Ye Gods! At last, our Seniority, Made us the free-est of the free, We had now reached our highest aim The Seniors of undoubted fame! Salaam! As out into the world we go We question if enough we know, To tread alone the world’s dark ways, And choose the right, avoid delays. Query! But this we know spite all our fears, That all throughout the coming years, We’ll look back with delight to this, The time of our undoubted bliss. Selah. So here’s to this dear school of ours, May it’s path be strewn with flowers, And each suceeding year exceed The last in honor, word and deed. Farewell! 22 Commencement Exercises Class Salutatorian.

The weeks and months that followed our first week of High School life might be compared to a track meet at which our class usually furnished amusement for the Sophomores. The majority of the class was weak in one muscle or another and often received orders from our various coaches to brush up. However there were a few all-round athletes among us who could wrestle, box or run and succeed in gaining a victory over opponents. A few of our champions were Herbert Shanklin, who made Algebra a hobby, and Erma Woolsey, who threw Commercial Arithmetic nine out of every ten times. When the end of the year and the time for our final tryouts come we shall be taken before our score cards and shown the results of our efforts. The results of our year of struggle against heavy odds may not be very encouraging but possessing the proverbial bull dog’s tenacity those of us who fail to make the grade will try again. ARNOLD ANDERSON. 33 The Most Popular Student of Cascade High School MAYBELLE StRUNK Senior (’hiss, 1926 Popularity Contest To induce the sale of Annuals, the Senior Class of ’26, started the Popularity Contest. Each class voted for their most popular members, a boy and a girl. Eight of the most popular students entered the Contest. Each annual sold had two votes, one for the purchaser, and the other for the seller. The Contest lasted one month, and at the end of that time, one of the members of the Senior Class won by a majority of nine votes; the winner being Mabel Strunk. Over eighty annuals were sold during this contest. 34 ACTIVITIES 35 Student Body Association President......................................Bill Shanklin Vice President......................................Ed Seaton Score tari ......................................Earl Munroe Treasurer.......................................Helen Hughes The Student Body Association is composed of the High School Students. Officers are elected once a year to manage the affairs of the Organization. The School Bank which is managed by the Association, finances all the (curricular) activities outside of the school, such as Basket Ball, Debating, Declamation and Track. 36 Debating Debating was one of the newly added departments this year, and under the supervision of Miss Haight has been doing remarkably well. The pre- liminaries were held early in December. The result was that Alvernia Hale, Vernon Brown and Kenneth Mortag were chosen to represent the school for the ensuing year. The first debate was held in Cascade. The opposing team was the Belt trio. Cascade had the affirmative side and won the decision. After two practice debates with Augusta, Cascade went up against the stiff Denton team, who had three years of service compared to our one- year-old team. That night Denton took the spoils home, and Cascade is looking forward to another successful year in this field in the future. 37 Music Our school life would not be complete without the music, that we have had during the past four years. , Assembly singing and Glee Club has proved to be the life of the school; and was looked forward to, by the students of the C. H. S. We had lots of fun in the Minstrel Show and it will not be forgotten soon by the partici- pants. Minstrel Show A Minstrel Troupe! We were all excited and came to the first practice in glee. How willingly and faithfully we toiled cannot be told for I fear we were at times a sore trial to Mrs. Blair. But finally the date was set, Jan- uary 28 and 29, and we prepared for our glorious last week. Monday night, practice; Tuesday night, practice; Wednesday night, dress rehearsal. Oh, Jim, if we’d known what you were to look like we would have had you in the front row, sure! Then a shadow over our fun. Creta became ill and couldn’t even see us perform. We wept bitter tears but Earl and Lester were instru- mental in drying them. They with John and Vernon, were absolutely the life of the show, for if someone had spirited away their tongues we should have had one miserable flop! Luckily however, no one had evil designs on them and it was quite a success. Who could have guessed that Vernon could “curve the back” that far! We hear a lot about ourselves Friday but one of the best stories was one of Mr. Schell’s. He reported that while cutting a certain person’s hair, he found black behind her or his (take your choice) ears. Yassem! 38 Declamatory Contest As the Annual is going into the Printer’s office the school is buzzing with the interest over the Declamatory Contest which will take place at the end of April. The winner of the Contest will represent the school at the State Contest. Journalism A new venture has been started this year by the Junior class—Jour- nalism. Each week since they enthusiastically accepted the opportunity, the Cascade Courier has devoted two or three columns to the publishing of High School news. A six week’s course in Journalism wras taken but the work has continued in the Courier for the whole school term. We feel sure that their work in Journalism will be invaluable to them in their Annual work next year. u Parties and Balls The social activities of the year not only add to the enjoyment of our school life, but serve to broaden our horizon and increase the links in our chain of friendship. When the school year of 1925-26 began, we had thirty-two (32) Fresh- men and of course they had to be initiated into our school. This entertain- ment was provided by the Sophomores. This was a very good way to get them acquainted with one another and the ways and customs of High School Life. Most of us had the privilege of witnessing this event. We ffelt sorry for them but we had to go through it also when we were Freshmen, so we knew they would live through it. Our next social event was on October 9, 1925, given in the Assembly. The Freshmen proved good entertainers to the Sophomores and the rest of the school, as well. On January 15, 1926, there was a party given by the two losing teams of the Country Gentleman Contest, the Comets and Meteors, to the winning team, the Sky Rockets. This party was full of pep. After the stunts and games were played, dancing was enjoyed until eleven o’clock. Music was furnished by Pete’s Vagabonds. Our big Social Event of March was the first Annual Athletic Ball which was given to present the Silver Cup to the Juniors, the winners of the Inter- Class Tournament. There were also numerous parties given after the Basket Ball games during the season. The visiting teams were entertained in this way. The final event of the year, which surpassed all the rest in originality and enjoyment was the Junior-Senior Prom which took place on May 7. 40 Atltbtira 41 Girls’ Hasketball From left to ripht:—Erma Woolsey. Adelia Brandon, Creta Wilson. Mary Wilson, Isabelle Bruneau, Josephine Haney (Capt.). Miss Laura Spopen (Coach). Few girls entered into basketball this year, so the choice for a team was limited, Mary Wilson being the only girl who had played before. However with practice and patient drilling by the coach, Miss Spogen, the team proved to be a credit to the school and town.

The Cascade High School has, in the past four years, been quite proud of their loyal and true Basketball players, twice in the past four years, the Cascade High School Team has won the Cascade County Sportsmanship cup. The winning of this cup means more to the School than winning the Championship, because we know that the aim of all organized games is to create good sportsmanship, and the Coach Mr. Perrine has, in this year’s team reached the desired goal.

Then the best man representing the school will be sent to Missoula later in the spring. The boys are practicing pole vaulting, broad jumping, running and shot put. Some places were taken by this school last year. Orval Jay won the Broad Jump. Earl Munroe won the Pole Vault and also a place in running. We hope to be even more successful this year. Good Advice We Seniors realize that if we had been given some good advice by someone who knew and appreciated the life of a High School student, we might have been spared many sad mistakes. It is through our observa- tion and experience that we take this opportunity to give a little wise counsel to those who follow on. Freshman! It would be well if during the summer vacation you prac- ticed athletics, you will then be able to vault over the desks in the assembly room more gracefully than you did last year. Run to all classes. This will give you at least two more minutes studying which you will enjoy. Exer- cise your lungs chasing cattle then you will be able to use them to better advantage in the halls, stairways and assembly room. Stage all fights on the school premises, thus giving the rest of the school something to occupy their otherwise empty brains. Sophomores! Pay out no money. Unless an attachment is served on you, you can get by without paying dues! Spend no more time on your school work as a Junior than you have this year, then when you become a Senior your brain will be as new as that of a new born babe and so better able to grasp the complex situation. Juniors! Always laugh uproariously at your teacher's joke. (It is the hard things in life that make men and women of you.) Chewing the end of your pencil doesn’t write your name in the hall of fame. Keep the right notion on hand. Watch your sitting position; it will make you a person of standing. Don’t attempt an Annual—Keep to love-letters—they’re easier and can be passed round from one beau to the next, needing no mental effort. An Epitaph Here lie the bones of President Bill Who died the death all Seniors will Who hopes that when to----------he goes He’ll find a warm well earned repose! 44 —A is | Some, norse i jiKortewo hill.

Thou shalt not take the name of thy teacher in vain, he might hear thee. 2. Thou shalt not pass notes to thy neighbor’s sweetheart. Thy neigh- or might pass to thee a discolored optic. 3. Thou shalt not swipe more than one ream of paper from thy neigh- bor’s desk. One ream is all thine can hold. 4. Thou shalt not kid a girl in the hearing of a teacher lest thou be kidded out of thy grade. 5. Thou shalt not pop thy gum in class lest thou should become con- spicuous by thy absence. 6. Thou shalt not wear thy goloshes turned up lest thou be humiliated in that they be taken for overshoes. 7. Thou shalt not whisper loud in assembly. The teacher in charge loves not the musical jingle of thy voice. 8. Thou shalt not ask permission to leave the class to wander aimless- ly over the building at thy will. 9. Thou shalt not hesitate to conglomerate in the hallways; the teach- ers enjoy the thrill of wading there. 10. Thou shalt not study more than thou canst help. By a process of collection thou canst let the other fellow do it. Modern Romance “Mush.” “Slush.” “Gush.” “Hush, you’ll wake the baby.” 49 50 Hughes Bros.

H. S., they received a very hearty welcome. Perhaps they did not deserve it, but it was ap- preciated nevertheless. Since then, we have wondered if we were as sincerely welcomed as we had thought. Now we know, for we have come to the point, where we can realize how sincere the welcome was. Not only were we welcomed by the student body, but the community as a whole were glad we had made that step toward success. Now, as we go forth in the wide world, we know to whom we owe our thanks and gratitude, for our first step to success. Our Appreciation of the Janitor We, the graduating class of ’26 wishing to show our appreciation to the janitor of the C. H. S., take advantage of this opportunity to do so. We wrant him to know7 that during our school years, we have appreciated very much his efforts and success in taking such orderly care of the school house and cooperating so willingly in all school activities and that without his cooperation, enthusiasm and interest our school life would not have been so pleasant. ----E- Jokes Isabelle—I am telling you for the last time you can't kiss me.
