The freshman year started off with a bang with the election of the class officers. When the votes had been tabulated, it was found that Max Moore had been elected to serve as class president. The other officers are: Norvan Landis, vice-president; Patty Moody, secretary; and Billie Jean Chrysler, treasurer. At the beginning of the term the freshman population was ninety-eight, while now there remain ninety-three. Of this number, approximately forty-five are graduates of the city grade school. The remaining number are from rural and non-high districts. The freshmen are well represented in extra-curricular activities. The class contains several promising musicians and athletes, who, along with the rest of the class, should form a fine sophomore class next year. • Wilma Abraham Leon Easton Warren Laymon Virginia Ashbly Donald Elliott Delores Legg Max Moore Betty Estes Anna Littlejohn Norvan Landis Wilma Finney Jack Malcom Billie Jean Chrysler Ferrell Fox Wayne Martin Patty Moody Betty Lou Frances Leona McSchooler Arthur Biggs Agnes Freeman Noma Middleton Billy Bishop Don Funk June Monroney Coralie Black Mary Funk Kent Morgan Darrell Brandenburg Martha Lou Gard Charlotte Newlin Harold Briggs Rosemary Garner Burl Ping Rosemary Brown Eugene Gross Leonard Robey Marianna Burnett Viola Grisamore Raul Rowland Paul Burnett Esther Haley Geraldine Rude Freda Callahan Helen Hall Frances Schiver Ruth Callahan Margaret Handley Clara Shanks Charles Carroll Margaret Hartman Ruth Short Mary Lou Carl Lowell Henderson Inez Smith Roberta Chapman Gene Holthouse Howard Snodgrass Frank Chidester Oscar Howe James Snyder Bob Cahoon Roy Jeffers Margaret Snyder John Comer Loleta Jones Bob Stifal Duane Connelly Mary Alice Kibler Loretta Tolle Bob Cox Wanda Kite Robert Turner Robert Curtis Lois Knecht John Tutewiler Harold Cutright Eillen Kusterman Bernard Tuttle Loretta Dill Iris Lacey Josephine Whitworth Dorothy Dixon Don Lansberry Bill Wilson Allen Douglas Jean Doughty Boyd Larson Charles Wright 19 FRESHMEN

Omr Director's Message to the Cast Dear Students: To be or not to be is a somewhat trite expression but one that may aptly be applied in some instances. To be or not to be a success in life depends almost wholly upon each individual. True, family fortune and prestige, breaks, circumstances, etc., all play a part, but the youth that wishes to succeed can rise above all obstacles if he has the will to be. The best place to prepare to overcome these obstacles is in high school. The first prime requisite is to obtain all of the information possible in the years spent there. Learn well that rules, other people and their wishes, tradition, and respect for authority will be a part of your life until you cease to exist. Do all things well, look your best, be courteous, kind and thoughtful of others and hesitate not to do more than is asked of you. You students of C.T.H.S. are Americans and as such are blessed with freedom the same as all other American youth. However, with your fine school grounds and buildings, educational, athletic, and music equipment, and well qualified staff of instructors, you have much more than many American youth. I have a feeling that there are times when you fail to appreciate the privileges that the local taxpayers have provided for you. There is little else more priceless than opportunity and privilege. Each of you has a full measure awaiting you with cooperative faculty members ever ready to help you make the most of each. In closing may I say it has been a real pleasure working with and for you thus far. It is my sincere hope that as the weeks grow into months we will get to know each other better and thus find even more pleasure in working together so that you may make a more useful and happy American citizen. 21
