.IU IUH5 If one would enter the sacred portals of CCCHS, one might hear echoing down the corridors these protesting cries: What, six book reports a year! lt's unconstitution- al! or What, another Civics test? These famous quotations were made by none other than those jolly juniors. Although We have done a certain amount of griping about things in general, we were very pleased with our sponsors---Nliss Johnson, Nliss Carson, and Mr. Cook--and our class officers: Billy Collins- president. Helen Overman -vice president, Don Dozier- treasurer, and lda Belle Littick - secretary. YVe juniors of '45-'46 were well represented in the sports events of the year. Four- teen boys went out for football practice at the beginning of the year and Ted Atkinson, Worth and VVayne Fitzgerald made the first eleven. Buddy Bull was the only junior on the first team in basketball although several others played on the reserve teams. Our class had dramatic talent as well as athletic skill. VVe presented a successful 3-act comedy entitled Quiet Everybody. lt was directed by Nlrs. Harper. ln the all- school operetta cast lWary Margaret Jones, Nelson Jones, Kenneth Breneman, Homer Gatewood, and Carl Gilliland had main parts while several other juniors had support- ing roles. VVe held our class party in October. lt consisted of a wiener roast at the park and then an exciting scavenger hunt. You would really be surprised at some of the things we dragged in: dead mice, false teeth, nylon hose, and a crow-bar. VVe all had a swell time. For ten days during November we sold magazine subscriptions to make money for our treasury. VVC set our goal at S300 and sold over S800 worth, which gave us a profit of 5336.-fS. l think we will all say it was worth the effort, for our junior-senior banquet went over in the best of style.

Vanderbeck, Watson, VVhitlow, VVilcox, Winders, Blanche William Eleanor Ramona Paul VVinkler, Wiseman, Wolmford, Wyrick, Zwahlen, Leta Jean Dorothy Thelma Emma Lou June THE LONG-A WAITED DA Y Where are the senior lads and maids, who lately came and went- With hearts and minds on senior cares and senior frolics bent- Among these rooms and through these halls and up and down these stairs And with affection looked on them and thought of them as theirs? The old school searches for the class whose love he had of yore And sighs to find them in the halls and on the stairs no more. Forgotten are their erstwhile cares, their frolicking is hushed, As down these halls no more they trip with youthful spirits flushed. Their books are closed, their sums erased, their final test is passed, Of all their happy high school days this gladdest is the last .... Here are the Seniors! Here we sit upon this day of days For one last hour together ere we go our separate ways. The day to graduate has come, our days in school are o'er, These Walls will send our voices back this once and then no more. This class will hunger for the school whose love we had of old And sigh to find Commencement night our days in school were told, . . The long-awaited day has come, the gladdest of the yearg ln memory this gladdcst day will be forever dear. I2
