Class History We, the members of the Senior Class of 1952 bid fond farewell to CHHS and take this one last chance to reminisce about our four years in high school. As gouche freshmen we stumbled through the maze of bewildering class schedules, wilted beneath the superior gaze of an upper classman, were stumped by the com- plexities of amo, amas, amat, and the mysteries of xy - 2ab. Football — a new coach, Bill Grice, led us to that well remembered Laurinburg game! The Freshman Class, not to be surpassed by the Junior-Senior, gave the second annual Freshman-Sopho- more under the leadership of class president, Borden Abernethy. Then we entered our sophomore year with not quite as much exuberance, but certainly more self-assurance. That year led by class president, Jake McLaughlin, the Sophomore Dunce Dance was given — the first in the history of CHHS! Biology class was a great experience, particularly dissecting grasshoppers. We found out, too, that school wasn ' t just for fun and decided to try studying. Our junior year was full of turbulent class meetings with Barry Winston, class president, trying to maintain some order. Everyone went money-mad at the thought of having the Junior-Senior in the Tin Can; however, we came through in grand style, using he South Sea Islands as our theme — grass skirts and all! At long last Snack Shack funds came through with a bright, shiny bus for the school to use for trips, By the end of our junior year we thought no other year could be better. That was before we became Seniors! That all important senior year finally came. We felt almost like Freshmen again with the completion of the new school and so much room to wander around in. Some- one might have wondered what was being given away those first few times at as- sembly — just the Seniors trying to get a seat on the front row. Fair is foul, and foul is fair — yes, we began Shakespeare! Calling cards, class rings, a diploma — that was our senior year led by Tom Maultsby as class president. Having left with you these experiences we can only hope that all of the classes to follow will have half so much fun. GOOD-BYE Evelyn Matthews Class Historian [18]
