L. Hoffman, Billy Joe banning, Carol Jones, and Jimmy Tipton e elected officers to our class and selected .lr. :;owe as our sponsor. During the summer vacation we lott one member, Jimny Tipton, and trained one member, Billy Bob Cottrell from Frankford. When school opened in the fall the less frightened class of sophomores enrolled to gain a second year of knowledge. He selected Mss Baker as our class sponsor. Our year as juniors was much more interesting as we had more activities in which to participate. We presented the play ’’The Big Blow-Up” under the direction of Mr. Charles Derail., our class sponsor. A banquet was given in honor o:' the seniors and was followed by a theater party. We lost one member rom our class art tiat was Sandra Wisner, who n ved to California. An now that we have completed our four years of education, the remaining thirteen of our class are preparing for graduation on May llw We lost one member from our class at the beginning of this year and that was Donna Clark. For one last event to place away in our collection of memories, our class and sponsor, Mr. Charles Durall, nave planned a tr untaioview, Missouri And how that the time is near for us to depart from dear old C. H. S. we realise how much we will miss the friends and good times that we have had at school. ANNUAL STAFF EDITOR, JACKIE RI3SK1LLSR ASSISTANT EDITOR 0. L.
