Hlistor One warm day on September 1, 1948 we entered the doors of ole C.H.S. for our first year in High School. This year we claimed the name of Freshmen which we were very proud of. we had Mr. Thomas as our sponsor and Billie Compton as our class leader. The Freshmen Class consisted of about twenty members. After a brief vacation we again entered the doors of C.H.S. This year we were called “Sophomores.” Our class leader was Helen Kirk, our sponsor was Jenny Hager. We had English in the library and there were several chairs broken. We,(our teachers told us,) were to blame. Anyway it wasn't very comfortable sitting on a two or three legged chair when you knew a chair had four legs. Well, here it is September the lst. again and we are back at C.H.S. This year we feel very grown up because we have the name of Juniors. This year we also have two sponsors. Our choices were Mr. Eugene Orr and Mr. Harry Tuell. Our classleader was Elizabeth Compton. Under the direction of our sponsors we presented a mystery comedy, Whoa Auntie. It was a big success to the teachers' surprise. ith this for our motto, “ B (sharp) B (natural ) but never BY (fiat) we had the pleasure of serving a semi formal banquet to the Seniors, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. After the meal we all met upstairs for games, singing and dancing. We think everyone was sorry wien they heard the old clock in the hall strixing twelve, but we all went home with many souvenirs and many happy memories we will never forget. Again it is the lst. of September and this year we have the title of dignified Seniors. We have as our class sponsor Mr. Eugene DeBord. As our class officers we have Melvin Cox - President, Amy Cox - Vice-President, Helen Kirk - Secretary, and Buddy Waddle - ‘Treasurer. Those who fell by the way side during these four years were, Robin Scott who chose a football uniform rather than Ceres, Georgia Diilow chose married lifey Okal Umbarger who chose a vacation rather than spanking. Others who quit for numerous reasons were Olivine Cullop, Buford Cregger, Anna Hubble, Carleton Arthur and Andrew Clemons. In our Sophomore year we got Felecie Atkins and Buddy Waddle. In our Junior year Daisy Carter and W. H. Cregger. At the end of our Senior year a banquet was given us by the Junior Class which was snioyed by all. With eighteen proud stgdents in our Senior class we think that we have had a very successful high school year. We want to leave our undying appreciation-to all of our teachers and those who have done many things in our behalf. We are sure none of us will ever forget our four happy years in high school. We sincerely hope that the class that follows will have as «auch fun as we have had,
