Although still ahead, the final days of May -climaxed with graduation for a group of haughty seniors. and the moving up of im- patient juniors and sophomores-will move ahead. And with May 28 rolling around, there'll be a chance to write a series of final examina- tions-the seniors excepted-and on June 1, there'll be report cards to be accepted and tucked away among the keepsakes. But it must be admitted that the diplomas that are to be passed out on the evening of May 25 are the keepsakes for which most of us are anxiously awaiting. End of the term, however, is only another milestone along the CHS pathway. True. the old seniors will be gone-many into the services, others to colleges and universities. But with the coming of another September, there'll be a new class of seniors who will look forward'to the year as the most eventful of their lives: there'll be another group who'l1 bear the distinction as juniors , and another crop of graduates from the Junior High School that will step into the ranks as Sophomores. Prospects are particularly bright for a fine football team to represent the school on the grid- iron, with Freddie Major, Jr., and James Cottrell back to form the nucleus: there'll be another lighting five, ready to carry on the scrap and make a strong bid once more for the state basket- ball crown. But three of our old teacher friends will not be listed on the faculty rolls. Mr. McBride, leaving midway of the second semester, has very definitely decided to continue to live in his home town of Miller City: Miss Lewis. popular and hardworking art teacher-whose friend- ly hand never failed in time of need-chose to return to the commercial field instead of the classroom: and Miss Rose has been persuaded to take up a homemaking career, with her new address as Cincinnati. These teachers will be missed by the 1946 seniors as well as by the sophomores who move up to be the juniors of next year, and the memories of their patience and kindly consid- eration will be treasured by all those who knew them in the classroom. But the coming and going of the teaching staff is much like that of the boys and girls who each year climb up one more round in the ladder-there'll always be new ones to take their place.

tainment offered by the high school musicians. The bandsmen under the direction of Mr. Ri- ley and the string ensemble with Mrs. Lorraine Bayes as leader, likewise contributed a share. with the annual stage show and the May 4 music festival attracting attention as headliners. But the coming of shirt sleeve weather made school a bit trying and study was difficult to hold at a normal rate. Even at the shops where life moved along at a pleasantly agreeable pace, there were signs of restlessness. This was especially true of both the aircraft wood classes- the only course of its kind offered by any high school in the United States and where gliders were constructed for actual flying-and in the printing laboratories. It was quite evident that the instructors were watch- ing the warm and balmy sun with considerable anticipation. Both Mr. Applegate and Mr. Geist, together with Mr. McBride of the commercial department, Mr. Clark and Mr. Fuqua. mathematics, frankly admitted the longing to get up into the air as quickly and as often as possible, All live had been dyed in the wool flying addicts, suggesting the modern trend that was engulling their interests along with teaching. l The shops, despite the irreplaceable loss of Mr. Homer Dremann who did not return to senior high this year, were able to report better than average progress in work throughout the , ,, l year. There had been a bit of shuffling necessary-with three of the department members shar- ing the load-to absorb the architectural and mechanical drawing classes taught by Miss Grace Wilson who is on leave of absence to serve in the WACS. And short supplies in some of the critical materials had made it necessary to place new emphasis upon other features of the wood and electrical courses. But by and large, the department carried on, meriting the approval of the state vocational department. Three members of the industrial education faculty, however, were responsible for no lit- tle scandal when, attending a national vocational conference at Philadelphia, they wandered into a restricted area and had photographed sections of a shipyard. Held by the FBI as possi- ble saboteurs, the trio was finally released and absolved of all suspicion. 20 The Maroon
