Senior Class History IADIES AND GENTLEMEN. This is station F-L-A-M-E broadcasting from -J the studio of C-T-H-S. This is the “annual” hour which comes to you each year at this time. The program is in charge of the class of 33. I will now turn the microphone over to Ruth Brookhart, who will give to you the History of the Class. Friends of the radio audience, this is Ruth Brookhart bringing to you the history of the class of 33. In the fall of 1929, a group of intelligent pupils entered the good old C.T.II.S. ship to work as the Freshmen crew. We were starting on a four years' voyage, with Mr. Buckler as pilot, and the members of the faculty as the officers of the ship. With the help of the three older crews, we soon learned our respective duties, and found that it was necessary to choose leaders for our crew. We chose Flovd Collins as Captain; Eleanor Logue as First Mate; and Verti F.mrich as Second Mate. Mr. Gordon and Miss Maggee were our sponsors and proved a great help to us when we were buffeted about by the high waves. We took part in the Senior Stunt Show and the annual football parade. We appreciated very much the Ail School Party given in our honor on November 13. as :t gave us an opportunity to meet the members of the higher crews. We were represented in the orchestra, hand, glee club, ami pepper box. Audra Repp was our star football player and Floyd Collins, our star basketball player. We were such a success that our pilot promoted us to the duties of the Sophomore crew in the year of 1930. We took up our work in high spirits for we knew that one year of our voyage was done and that we must keep everything running smoothly so that we would reach our goal at the appointed time. The first thing to be done was to elect our captain, first, and second mate. This time we chose Floyd Collins, Noland Wright and Leona Hensiek respectively, and we kept the same class sponsors. We had a very successful year with a large number of our bovs responding to the call for football and basket hall. As Juniors, in 1931, we were feeling much more important because we had only one crew above us. Celia Morrison became our Captain. Noland Wright First Mate, and Ruth Brookhart Second Mate. Mr. Gordon and Miss Bane were our sponsors. We entered into everything whole-heartedly, being represented in commercial work as well as in the other activities. W ith the help of Miss Ennis, we put on the play, “The Patsy” which was a big success, and at the end of the year, we entertained the Senior crew at a banquet in their honor. Seniors at last! It was the year of 1932. As Captain, we chose Celia Morrison; as First Mate, Noland Wright: and Max Gossett as Second Mate. We had a hard year before us and our main object was to make some money to sponsor our year hook. To do this, we sold candy on the main deck at noon and at football and basket hall games. We also put on a minstrel show and a Senior play. At last, after four years of hard work, happiness, storms and sunshine, we have reached our destination and have put into port. We are sorry to leave the good old ship for we have spent many joyful days on board with our many friends. In looking over our records, we have found that several of our crew had been washed over-board, but since we had picked up some others from floating rafts or other ships, our number has remained almost the same. We hope that the greater part of our crew will be able to transfer to other and larger ships. It is with much pride that we look back over the records of our voyage, and we hope that the oncoming classes will enjoy and profit by their cruise as much as have we.
