Congratulations to you for having chosen the theme '4Democracy at Work for your edi- tion of the CATATLER. Developing educated citizens who are enthusiastic about maintain- ing and sustaining our democratic way of life is the main concern of our public schools. ln the bulletin Educating for Citizenship, published by the Pennsylvania De- partment of Public Instruction, we find this statement: ln these times peoples of the whole world grope and pray for some way of life which will give them as groups and as individuals within the group, freed um, liberty, happiness, and peace. This nation, America, believes that a lived democracy can offer these things. Therefore, the schools of Pennsylvania must proceed courageously and creatively to teach the value of democratic citizenship through living, reasoned action . . . I believe your yearbook reflects the philosophy of this school concerning our firm belief and interest in democracy. However, each one must make his contri- bution to this democratic society. It means work, determination, and constant vigi- lance. A friend of mine has sent me a copy of one of his untitled poems, which l want to share with you. If you think that you can do it, Then you can. Confidence will pull you through it. Try the plan. With a steady concentration And a fixed determination And a ready consecration Play the man. w. e. b., jr. As you move through life, many of the facts you have learned here will be forgotten, but your attitudes and beliefs will stay with you. If you play the man,', you will always keep your faith in our Democracy. My best wishes to all of you. Sincerely yours, 5-+.,CJ C. i Supervising Principal l 7 THE FACULTY MRS.

It happened during the summer vacation, and although we were youngsters and had only recently been promoted to eighth grade-his death made a profound impression upon us. Glen was a promising boy. He was lively and possessed a pleasant personality. Already he had joined the band. In many ways he had made his presence felt in our group. We, the class of 1953, feel that this page should be in memoriam to this boy and his accomplishments that would have been achieved. Glen Slusser lives in the memory of each member of the class who knew him. We pause sadly to reflect and to keep that remembrance alive. 10 UNDERCLASSES XI 1 N 6 ,163 fl 1 C5- L.-'J- '-2-55. gil N Q? Students Observe Democracy At Work ln a democracy everyone should have an appreciation and some degree of understanding of many kinds cf worlt. With understanding should crime respect for the lahors of others. A modern philosophy of education llellvveg In lrlps' Through t h 1 S Slllllltbllllllk' homemuking group visits the Locke method of teaching students have opened in Ul Ni '2 to them vistas of employment for possi- hle future uses and an opportunity to see delails at first hand. The excursion at C. H. S. is related to the topic heing studied. It would he unfair and unkind not tim mention the industries, institutions, and individuals who have graciously permitted groups from our school to visit their places ol' husiness. Sometimes the visitation requires a lot of advance planning on the part ol' the person or firm visited. We appreciate the kindness of these patrons of the school. It is impossihle to have pictures of all field trips made during this year, how- cver, we have chosen three expeditions. Other valuahle trips which students have en- joyed are: a visit to the Bloomshurg Public Library, a hike to the Fire Tower in con- nection with conservation, a guided shopping tour, an inspection of our county jail, an explanation of a hanking institution, watching the election hoard in operation, and tours through various industries. During the years many valuable hits of information will flood memories of stu- dents whim have participated in such field trips to see workers in our democracy.

The class was having its monthly meeting and, as always, there were a great many important things on the agenda. The Junior-Senior prom was under discussion. First the theme was discussed and agreed upong then other details were decided by the class. The committees were appointed to carry out the plans. This class was socially inclined and made a point of having some kind of social function each month. They sponsored three square dances for the student body, skating parties, a Hallowe'en party, and the Prom. Jumping Jupiteri' was produced by the thespians, and countless hot dogs and candy liars were sold at the games to add money to their coffer. Their class oflicers were: president, Tom Harderg vice-president, Shirley Artleyg secretary, Shirley Yeagerg treasurer, Renee Fettermang adviser, Mrs. McCern. 13 Class of '55 We found the sophomores very much concerned with raising money. This is the first year they have had class dues and, after deciding the amount each member should he assessed, they entered into a lively dis- cussion of olher means of earning money. They finally agreed to take a concession stand at the Halloweaen Parade and have a bake sale. Then they made plans for the big social event of their year--the Christmas Dance.

We quietly opened the door and found ourselves in the midst of a class meeting. The group had just finished electing the officers for the school term. The results of the election were: Delores Servose, president, Danny Fegley, vice-president, Barbara Breech, secretary, Joe Valencik, treasurer. They were welcoming the country students into the ninth grade when wc entered. The freshmen were fond of parties that were gay, exciting, and full of laughter. They proved hy their large attendance that they enjoyed a good, rip roaring, old-fashioned square dance. This class had 49 members. It was well represented in the hand and promises to be a very active group. 15 Svuhwi ni First Tulmlf' funnfz'r'rIru'k11'isf'----.I. Fisher. E. Fettortnan. I.. K'tcl1cn, J. HIll'!lDl'. S. Feglcy. R.

They snap into a cheer and urge the team on to win another game. Loud fight yells are a specialty. The cheerleaders are divided into two squads. Varsity and Jayxees. They Q-hcer for soecer, haskethall, and are on hand to root for the hasehall team. They lead pep rallies and help keep the whole school interested in the teams. This year they sponsored a HKick-oflw dance at the beginning of soccer season. An added attraction is Peggy Bunge, who is all of fue years old. She adds a lot to the appearance of the squad. and cheers along with the hest of them. First Ifvlc, Left In Hiyllf S. lflvelami, F. F0llSlt'l'Illill'lt0l'. Sficonrl ltlllll' ll. Slllllllilll. li.

'l'lw hoys have done some knitting, cooking, and some simple sewing. tht- lnoys, however, are more interested in the culinary arts. Since the elulr period is only hfty minutes long. the hoys are forced to confine their cooking to hiscuits, cookies. salads. cakes. candy, ice cream. sandwiches, and soups.

Ten new students joined our class of forty. That year we produced our first successful play, 6'Be My Walentinef' Leaving the ninth grade, we started to explore the new and adventurous world of senior high school. The biggest event of the sophomore year was the Christmas dance which we sponsored. Also during this year we added something new-the Hobo Hop. Our sophomore year passed quickly, and before we knew it we were important juniors. On the second day of our junior year we ordered our class rings. After waiting so patiently for their arrival, many of our class- mates promptly gave them to someone else to wear. The next exciting event was our second drama entitled Junior Miss,', directed by Miss Bickert. It was a colossal success. Our next project was the Junior-Senior Prom. We selected In the Good Old Summertime for our theme and then went to work to put on the best prom ever given at C. H. S. At last we reached the top. Our senior class population dropped to thirty-seven members, but what was left was really the cream of the crop. The second day of this great year we ordered our invitations and name cards. In the next few weeks of school we tramped the streets of the nearby towns for ads for our year-book, took pictures, and worked like mad to beat the deadline. After many weeks of practice and fun, we presented our senior play, What Anne Brought Homef' under the direction of Mrs. Bergstresser. The dramatic ability of our well-known class was at its peak, and the audience went away wondering how a high school class could produce such a masterpiece. Before we knew it we were guests of the juniors at their Protrn. Then it was time for Class Night and Baccalaureate. At last came one of the greatest moments of our lives-Commencement-when our thirty-seven members united to bid adieu to our good old C. H. S. Having achieved our school ambitions, the carefree members of the class of 1953 go out into the world to make still greater names for themselves. 30 udience Roars At Junior Miss Our play, ujunior Miss . was our dehut into the world of the theater.

The family was in- clined to feel a little skeptical toward Dudley. When he bought the fish farm Herb was so earnestly trying to sell, the family really turned against him. Even Anne felt she would be better off without him. But when he sold the mill for SB55,000, gave part of it to Herb, and brought Nina and Jack back together again, everyone thought he was a pretty nice guy, even Uncle Henry, who was inclined to eye every- one with suspicion. Anne forgave him, and they went away on a belated honeymoon. So went the story of What Anne Brought Home. Mrs. Hattie Bennet Alma Bennet ......

Jean Doraski, Ina Faye Rhoads, Pauline George. C. H. S. Has Its Qwn Coronation The crowning of Shirley Stewart as May Queen was the highlight of Class Night. From the auditorium door, down the aisle to the stage, came the colorful proces- sion. First, the flower girls, little first graders in white ruHled dresses, came scat- tering flowers in the path of the Queen, followed by the crown bearer. Next the members of the court came slowly forward, a beautiful picture in their long pastel gowns. Finally, came the Maid of Honor followed by the lovely Queen in her white gown. The traditional black and red train, worn by all C. H. S. May Queens, was carried by little train bearers. The Queen was crowned by the class president, Robert Ridgway. After the cere- mony, the grade children presented folk songs and dances for the Queen, and the pro- gram ended with the winding of the Maypole. 34 A Yearbook Goes To Press Looking back through the year we can remember best the frantic search for ads. The deadline was close and finally, at the last minute, there was nothing to do but to go out and get them. We can remember going from place to place, sometimes with success and sometimes without. Everyday there would be the same question: do we or donlt we have enough money for the book? Finally, the long awaited news came -we had reached our goal. The deadline to get our copy off to press sneaked up on us, too. And again it meant scurrying around to get our copy written, a dummy prepared, and pictures labeled. We all gave a sigh of relief when at last everything was ready for the printer and immediately planned a celebration. We had a good dinner at Trioniis and then went lo the Roaring Grange Square Dance where we could really let oil steam.
