. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Freshmen! How green we felt-and acted-that bright summer morning in early September, in the year one thous- and and twenty, when we set out for the distant country called Education! VVe scurried here and there, appearing in the wrong class rooms, getting under the feet of the upper classmen, losing our books, and we even tried running in the halls, but Mr. Bailey convinced us that such undue haste was entirely unnecessary. But we were not long in becoming familiar with old C. H. S. and soon we were well along on our journey in the good old ship, Freshmen, which was commanded by Paul Reed, President, Ben Robinson, Vice-president, Margaret Raught, Secretary: and Farnham Davis, Treasurer. Farn- ham was also elected class cheer leader. During our journey we were threatened continually by the sea monster called Algebra, and we weathered many storms of English and Latin. Qnce we were attacked by the enemy ship, Senior , but it was repelled. NVe were certainly proud of our shipmate, Hugh W'eir. VVhile still a freshman he achieved the unusualhonor of mak- ing the first team in Debate. The first social efforts of our class were a success. The Freshmen Mixer was given in the Hgyml' in the early fall and proved to be a gay masquerade in which Topsys, beg- garmen, witches, clowns, Bo-peeps, Spanish ladies and trou- badours joyously mingled. Our second party was held in December. Everyone voted a merry time, and oh, to mention the eats -well, even the thoughts of them still bring fond memories. At the close of our Freshmen year we had a picnic at Forest. VVe roasted weiners, ate ice cream and cake, and held a most enjoyable time.. So ends the first chapter of our chronicle. In the course of time a change from the ship Freshmen to the ship Sophomore was made at one of the Vacation Isles, and we began to enjoy life again. The commanders of the ship, Sophomore were: Har- old Castle, president, Don Martin, Vice-president, Maria W 5 c s fp 5 Q 'Q- J a rv Q on-an. M 2 3- Html-no ., . -. 1- A G in Q, 1,5 2 7 lass

Nissley, secretary, Sherman McClung, treasurer, and Miss Jarbeau, class advisor. We were nearly shipwrecked when we struck the ice- berg Geometry. Our ship was saved by the vigilance and quick action of our beloved friend and teacher, Miss Mar- lowe. The promise of our Freshmen year was beginning to be realized. Our influence in athletics was not to be ig- nored as many of our boys were on teams and our girls were splendid in basketball. The Sophomore boys' basket ball team was the big success of the season, winning the class championship, and the school honors from the junior High. In the latter part of May we had a picnic at Black Lake. Even though we had to walk the last lap of the journey, be- cause our motor truck balked on us, we soon forgot about all our troubles in the enjoyment we found in swimming and boating. ik wk x wk Dk At another Vacation Isle we again changed ships. This time we boarded the Junior commanded by Lehman Prof- fitt, presidentg Ted Hilton, vice-president, Vera Kent, secretary, and Farnham Davis, treasurer. Although on many days there was hard work to do and on others stormy weather spoiled our fun, we had many good times on the upper deck of the Junior . Now we could snub the Freshies and Sophs to our hearts content- and we did. The bewildered underclassmen were thorough- ly chastened in spirit. Our Junior year was the crowning year for us. Many of our members held important positions in the student body activities. Hugh Weir was the president of the Sen- ate, Harold Castle was the vice-president, Hazel Shoemaker was the secretary, and Farnham Davis, the yell leader. Maria Nissley was the president of the Girls League, and Lulu Minkler was the vice-president. Now-who said we weren't a full fledged junior Class? In February, 1923, we staged the Arrival of Kitty . Miss Jarbeau coached the play and it proved to be a great 403' 5553. I 1 if 'Ellf lar ,5Xi.l. H 1 'PZ' P A G E W, 3 2 S xv .0 I ' l ' 1 HB3
