That's as . good as any, I suppose. We were also an ex- periment that year. They shoved an eight week experimental course on us. Though the fellows rebelled at cooking and sewing-at first--everyone loved it. The experiment must have been a success as they're still doing it in the eighth grade. Another year and closer to 1946. Big shots? Yes sir!!! Ninth graders now and we just ran the school-we thought. But we did have the only girl ever elected to the office of Junior High President. And Sue Phillips proved to everyone that it can be done. ln the fall Mr. West left as principal, to join the U.S.O. fwhat do we do to our principals?J and Mr. Eddy took his place. He was sorry! With the kids from Holy Cross and Seneca, our class was now complete. Several of our teachers left to go into the service. That was one way to get away from us. They were Mr. Allison, Mr. Ward and Mr. Woodam who left for the Navy in May and took Charlie away from all the females. He was good though and brought him back to us. With. the com- pletion of his second performance of Ring Freedom Ring, Mr. Enright went into the Army. Our Freshman year went out with a bang, all our teachers having left. We tried hard to think that we weren't to blame. - Xl fi., Ii iff?-'rl' I l 53 .ffl 4 f ' E f C' Q' S ,ff Aw! lrwas A025 The tenth grade and we could now attend H.. the coveted senior as- semblies and senior lunch period. This was .e, a big day in our lives Q even though we weren't big shots. Mr. Seidel left us and Mr. Reifsteck took h i s place. Everyone sat around with bated Q !

The first Teen Canteen was a huge success and surprised everyone. They're still wonder- ing how we could get so many kids when we lived way out in the sticks. But then with the mighty Sophomore class behind it, it was bound to be good, pardon-great. In our third year of high at C. H. S., the streets became a very dangerous place to be, especially at night. Bob Watson, Bob Ahrens, Eddie Roberts, Don Barry and Dick Bennett became the proud fathers of bright, new shiny auto-mo-biles. I guess that's what they are. I've been told that they run on gasoline so I took it for granted that they were cars. Every- one had a choice spot in some tree, rented by the month from some poor robin, where www uwwy f Tw, 5 . 1 o lo ff m .175 :A K is ,D tg +'l'!.1!lIt l o I 3, in x they sought safety when the proud papas took their babies out for a wheeling. With Lighthouse Flashes came the oppor- tunity to show everyone what a talented class we were. They expect those people that are still in the hospital recovering from shock to be released soon. Big shots? The biggest!!! Only one more year and we reach our goal-we all hope. When we came back from summer vacation, Miss Bitter was no longer, but a Mrs. Mitchell took her place in 219. Our good and always cheerful pal, Mr. Allen, who has been with C. H. S. 5+ for twenty-five Mm ff iw' years, retired. G' f --f' What do we do F. i V Q to people?
