Back home for keeps and ready to resume his position as principal, which he held for fourteen years at C. H. S., is Colonel Creed F. Bates. His return from our armed forces is indeed welcomed by the graduating class as well as the faculty and underclassmates. ln June, l94l, when the shadow of war had well enveloped the globe, Mr. Bates, to hasten the return of a peace-loving world, entered the United States Army as a captain. This was the second time that he took part in our country's battles, as he was a lieutenant in World War I. Being very efficient as a special service officer, the captain soon be- came a lieutenant-colonel. Colonel Bates was overseas from July, l942, until August, l945. He took part in the Algerian-French Morocco Battle, the Tunisian Campaign, and the Rome-Arno Invasion. To quote the colonel about his experiences in the war, he said, The best experience I ever had was coming home. Many prominent positions in the city of Chattanooga have been held by Colonel Bates. He has been past commander of the J. Craig Lodor Post of the American Legion, Sunday School superintendent of the St. Elmo Methodist Church, president of the Civi- tan Club, a trustee of the University of Chattanooga, Secretary of the board of trustees at Bonny Oaks School, and president of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. Since his return, Colonel Bates has put the advancement of our school as number one on his reconversion plan. Being open-minded to all suggestions but weighing carefully his final decision, he has unanimously been recognized as the tonic our school needs. To a person both loved and respected by all who know him, the students of Chatta- nooga High School give a hearty welcome. We salute you, Colonel, the winner of the Bronze Star and the Legion of Merit. Miss Trimble, lt. Walter Wooten, lt. Ted Atwood, Col. Fred Fox, Col. Bates, Mrs. Elizabeth Dalton enioy o friendly chat at a tea given in honor of Colonel Bates' re- turn. Page 8 . as -1-.x'....+s's.f1r' rwammzlx .www-is rx. ,mm . ,e i.f3i. LVM.

7fze Gakweh Mwage During history's greatesfi war, Chattanooga High School did well her part. Some 2,000 former stu- dents of the school answered the call to arms to protect this glorious nation. While serving gallantly in many theaters of the war, four- score of her sons made the supreme sacrifice. Her men and women were in every branch of the armed services scattered over the entire world. The sole winner of the Med- al of Honor of this area was Charles Coolidge, a graduate of this school. ln the trying years when the light of peace was dim, Chattanooga High School reflected the stress and strain of the war's darkness. En- rollment, which decreased, neces- sitated radical modification of some activities, but the cherished ideals of this school-sound schol- arship and sterling character- never weakened. Now that war is over we are in a new age, and Chattanooga High School's glorious heritage of three- score and ten years inspires and strengthens us to cope successfully with the perplexing problems of today and of tomorrow. We must explore our abilities, our activities, and our aims in order to plan in- telligently and develop soundly so that we may fulfill properly our mission in a democratic country. This will be accomplished, because Chattanooga High School never fails. CREED F. BATES Page9
