0N OUR WAY Praising the American system of educa- tion, C. H. S. and the junior college pre- sented the famed pageant, On Our Way , under the combined direction of the music and the dramatic departments. More than 300 students participated in either the orchestra, chorus or dramatic skits, and many were employed in the be- hind-the-sccnes duties. Every student and every teacher in high school and jun- ior college did his part to make the pre- sentation a success. R. D. G. BAND The C'. H. S. band, under the capable direction of Buck Johnson and drum major, Howard Gurwell, was an instru- mental factor in adding pep and enthus- iasm to our assemblies, and it was also a source' of entertainment at football games, with its inspiring, well given drills. The pep band with its colorful music added much to our basketball games. On April 7, the C. H.
