Becky Allen leaves her much needed peppy .school spirit to all of C. H. S. Jeanne Fixmer leaves her sophistication to all the incoming Freshmen so that they may reach the level of the new Seniors. Jeanie Huxham takes her smooth', line with her because she feels that no one can use it with so much expression and results as she. Janet Stollery leaves her long locks to Margie Major so that Margie may become more feminine in the future. Buddy Messner leaves the boys of C. H. S. to 4'Pete', Murphy . However, we feel sure that 4'Pete'i will have plenty of trouble with those heart- breakersn from the incoming Freshman class.

Florence Robinson and James Clingen leave their dramatic ability to all the actresses and actors who will help Miss Miles put on as grand a play next year as she did this year. May Weeks leaves her natural beauty to the Junior girls who like to use those gobs of war paint.

Helen Fitzpatrick leaves Artie Gentile to Pat Ferrati in hope that Pat will help Artie in his work as Helen has done. Estelle Bugajski leaves her quietness to the Sophomore class so that they will make less noise in the future. Dodging the tops of doors, Ellis May wishes some- one would take a few inches from his height, for he is leaving with memories of many hard knocks.

out for everything except studies. It's no wonder that they lost the Honor Roll Cup in the Senior year. But, I guess they are to be forgiven. After all, what would all the clubs and teams have done without the sophomoresf' Lee Konecke, Steve Jacohus, and Buddy Mess- ner were the class officers that year, oh, yes, and Craig won the Professor Quiz contest. That was a good programf, said Miss Partridge. Well, although I had begun to wonder, they couldn't remain in the tenth grade forever. They became ,luniors the next year. That was a good year, Mr. Spicer said. Yes, finally that year they had a picnic at Point Pleasant. They had a grand time, even though the water was rather cold. I don't think the bus driver has yet recovered from the vocal concert he had to endure all the way to the beach and hack again. Speaking of music, there was a great deal of in- terest in it that year. Gertrude Lauterwasser was in the All-State Orchestra, said Mr. Lynch. Yes, added Miss Partridge, and ,lanet Stollery, Jean Huxham, and Edith l.ilieholm sang in the Chorus. 'l'hat year the girls took part in the CAA. Show, l'he Music Box'. Jack Schrumpf was Junior president and Becky Allen was head of the Dramatic Club, said Mr. Spicer. Ho you remember the excitement over choosing the class rings? 'lihey were really very beautiful. And then next year you would have thought that no other class had ever had their pic- tures taken before. NI guess they were surprised to find how busy the senior year was. With the picture taking, the party for the freshmen, the sports, the G.A.A. Show, the commencement Chatter, and graduation taking up their time, it kept them stepping, said Mr. Spicer. '5Yes, they thought that was work, but those who went to college changed their minds, seeing all that they had to do there. It was one of the most im- portant jobs of the senior year to decide upon colleges and vocationsf, said Mr. Lynch. The prom and banquet were certainly the crowning events of their four years, though. I guess they are to every class, said Miss Partridge. That's one of the interesting things about being a teacher, said Mr. Spicer, you can enjoy those big events with every class, without having to leave, after a mere four yearsf' l imagine these three could go on reminiscing all night about C. H. S. and some of its classes, but it's getting late, and I think I saw a yawn escape Mr. Lynch: so perhaps we had better return to the present. It does seem that our former teachers have superlative memories. but then we must remember that we are an outstanding class, and we certainly expect them to remember us twenty-five years from now: or will they? 0--.
