Class History FRESHMAN YEAR June, 1940 Dear Diary, Well, it's all over now! My litst year in C.H.S.! Boy, it feels good not to he at the bottom of the ladder anymore! However, we did have a lot ot fun even though we were the under-pups. The first chance we really had to distinguish ourselves was at our class party. I felt kind of proud that we were the ones who set the style for aftemoon looked great all decked out in blue and gold, with slipper partiesfand the old study hall certainly a horse shoe banquet table and candles to boot! But, jeepers, now that I think of it, I guess we real- ly had something on the hull after all! Freshmen in the B. A. A., freshmen in the band and choir, and freshmen in the Dramatic Club. Dick Newell even took the leading part of Henry Aldrich in What Il Lift' fand he still thinks his name is Henry! Of course a lot of the fellows were playing soccer, bas- ketball aml baseball, and the girls were all thrilled to be in their first G.A.A. Show. To top that it was arcal honest-to-goodness circus this year, with pea- nuts, a big-top and everything but elephants. B.D., Sandy, and Bette Bishop got the hall rolling in the executive department for us-and now we're going into the Sophomore year with the idea of making that just as big. SOPHOMORE YEAR June, 1941 Dear Diary, If you're speaking of banner years, this sure takes the cake! There was no holding us, now that we won- actually allowed the run of the place, so we stormed the various organizations. Who will ever forget that wonderful day in Atlantic City at the National Music Festival? We pretty nearly burst our throats singing in the A Cappella Choir to show the judges that C. H, S. was tops when it came to sing- ing, too. Df course, the Junior and Senior members did help us to gain momentum, but we still like to feel they couldn't have done it without us Sopho- mores. Speaking of being tops, two of our own class- men, Max Hoddinott and Noel Trowbridge were so good in sports they were in the first team ill Io the State Championship. But that isn't all! Pat Marqunrdt and Knobby Knights had a packed aud- ience rolling in the aisles with their cutting up in the dramatic club play Tish, Pat, having all she could do to keep her added poundage of pillows C I8 from slipping out of place, and Knobby, slow, easy- going sheriff Lemuel Pike. Of course, Dick Newell, Evelyn Thomson, and Corrine Johnson, who were the other two Sophomore members of the cast, did splendid jobs of acting in their various parts. Ae usual the G. A. A. Show took many of the Sopho- more girls who were just as excited over Along lthv Lackawanna as they had been last year.ln thc spring we met with our well-chosen officers Knobby Knights, presidentg Sandy Smart, vice-presidentg Lois Ford, secretary-treasurer, and decided on tl nautical party. Brightly colored flags swaye-l a- bove ollr heads, a real ship's hell rang ln-fore every announcement, savage looking fish decorated thc walls and we sailed forth gayly on the S. S. Sopho- more with all crew aboard. The ship must bo rc- named now as we sail on hopefully to our ,lunior year. JUNIOR YEAR June, 19-1-2 Dear Diary, Jeepers, here it is the end of the Junior year al- ready! This one has been the best yet. with our class showing plenty of active participation in all the organizations. Several of our boys, Max Hod- dinott, Noel Trowbridge, Bud Bigley, Bob Dick, Bob Gulian, Vincent Sibona, Bill Conway, and Sandy Smart to be exact, were on thc team that won the North ,lersey State Soccer Championship and that victory bonfire the night we heat Harrison was great! lt'll be a long time, too, before l forgot the G.A.A. Show and the Victory Paradr-.H The house was packed again this year as usual, and why not, since it was a patriotic theme and all our Allied nations were represented. It seeint-d'as tho- ugh our Juniors really went to war the night of thc class party. We were all having a grand time play- ing games when, BLOOIE out went thc lights! Si- rens wailed! Bombs puffed! And a big bomber roar- ed above the gym! When the lights went on again who should strut in but Hitler and Musso, them- selves-Pete Ball and Bob Gulian to us! Still an- other high spot in the year was the play.lfharlcy's Aunt. I still laugh over Knobby manipulating those skirts and-that big cigar! We really owe a lot to our class officers Sandy Smart, Max Hoddinott, and Phyllis Miller. They certainly did a lion's share to make this a red letter year for us. Continued on Page 39
