Class Histor Seniors. The class of 1951-that's us. Although the pull has been long and hard, we finally made it. Now that every- thing is almost over and we are graduating and leaving CHHS, let's look back on what has happened. Remember the new building and how lost we were as freshmen? After a few weeks of wandering about like straying souls, we finally settled down and began to get acquainted with our surroundings. The Student Council was led by Neal Creighton and the assemblies in the elementary school auditorium were thrilling even though we had to sit on the side rows. Ralph Bland was our class president, and we joined in to help on the paper drives. We saw the reopening of the Recreation Center and the re-establishment of the snack shack. We remember Coach Cecil Longest and Up, Up, and Over, and Mr. Bill Flowers and general science. Remember how as sophomores we began to have more self-confidence, so we entered into the swing of things with a bang, starting off the year by sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins Dance in order to raise money for our Junior-Senior. Pat Webb was our class president and he led us through a year in which we helped with the first Freshman-Sophomore, the first Stunt Night, the enlargement of the Proconian, and the revival of the Scroll. Members of our class were stand- outs in athletics, and all three of CHHS's major teams reached the state playoffs. We had a new coach, Mr. Bill Grice, whom everyone adored. Remember how we worked all through our junior year to raise money for the Junior-Senior? R.B. Fitch was our president and he carried us through many turbulent class meetings. By selling magazines and Howers and by general penny-pinching, we collected enough money to give the seniors one of the best J unior-Seniors in school history. The theme was Over the Rainbow and the Bull City Night Hawks played for us. During this year we witnessed the ormation of a band, led by Mr. Hubert Henderson, and the set-up of a new athletic field. Most of our memories come from 1950-51, our final year in high school. Remember the mad scramble on Thursdays to see who would get the front row seats in assembly? The construction of the new building continued throughout the year, and we envied the underclassmen who would have a new school. We worked on the annual, on the Proconian, on anything else we found time for, and we still outshone the underclassmen in the matter of grades. Franklin Giles was class president and R.B. Fitch headed the Student Council, that worked all year to int' oduce an honor system. We cheered our athletic teams on, and we were proud of our classmates who were playing their last year for CHHS. We were finishing school at a crucial time, and all of us realized it because so many of our friends and classmates had joined the service. These four years at CHHS have been a short period in our lives that we'll never forget. Good luck to all senior classes yet to be, and to our friends, our teachers, and our school-good-bye.
