CLASS HISTORY (Continued) This year was full of excitement. On November 22, we presented our class play, Hillbilly Weddin', a three act comedy. Our class rings arrived fromJosten'sin February. They were different from the other years’ rings as they had blue onyx stones and our initials carved in white gold. On April 18, we presented our Junior-Senior Prom. The theme for the Prom was Down By the Old Mill Stream. We broke away from an old tradition and had the banquet on the same night as the Prom. Well, well, at long last we found ourselves breezing into CHS as Seniors in our spanking new Cadillacs. Horns honked loudly for all other students to clear the way or get smashed under the heavy wheels of our big automobiles. The ones that did the most honking were: Head Honker, Frank Jodlowski; Vice Honker. Stanley Thisselle. Secretary, Rose Cushing: and Class Advisor, Mr. Ventsch. The driven who left us were Lyle Crawford, Lynda Ward, gained were Stanley Thisselle. Alice Thisselle, and Frank Jodlowski. Soon after school started we initiated the freshman class, later they gave us a return party. Time went fast and we were kept busy with Senior class pictures, announcements. Skip Day, and our play. We presented our play, Excuse Me, Please. on March 27, and on April 1, we left on Skip Day. We went to some interesting and educational places and everyone had a good time. All the fun that is rolled up in one year was well spent. Now comes the last, but not the least. Baccalaureate and Commencement. All the knowledge that we have had crammed into our heads by teachers is beginning to show. We are adults and beginning our lives anew. We are leaving high school with but one thought in our minds. -- The door to success is labelled—'Push'. and Lenora Ward. Those

“rtytetaiCf September 9. 1951, was a big day in the lives of twenty students. Yes, it was our first day of high school. At first we wandered around like lost pedlars but it didn't take long for us to get the wheels of our tricycles turning. The head tricyclists for 51-52 were: President, Russell Violett; Vice President, Delores Cramer; Secretary, Mary Jean Greiner; Treasurer, Fay Heimbigner. Our advisor was Miss Fairchild. In September we came to our first hump which required some strenuous pedaling on our part as we wore logger boots, gunny sacks, and other ridiculous looking costumes. This day marked our initiation and after this we had smooth pedaling for the rest of the year because we were now full- Later in the year we threw our first party, a return party for the Seniors. With the coming of spring the class of 1951 was graduating and we were just com- pleting our first year of high school. We started our sophomore year in September with a total of sixteen students. The main spokes in the wheels of this year’s bike were: President, Delores Cramer; Vice President, Fay Heimbigner; Secretary-Treasurer, Carol Eveland; and our advisor was Mr. Ventsch. In the lost and found department we had Vernon Swarens, Willie Mosburger, Evelyn Stores, and Leona Sanford, lost. We didn't find this year too exciting but we had plenty of work to keep us busy and spring found us glad to be having another vacation. As the second week of September rolled around we, as juniors, were found learning to drive our newly remodeled hotrods. We finally got in gear and started out on the big race which was led by: Pres- ident, Gerald Anderson; Vice President, Russell Violett; Secretary-Treasurer. Carol Eveland; and Class Advisor. Miss Childs. We gained four new hotrodders who were Clarence Williamson. Harold Guinn, and Lyle Crawford. Coming back this year was Leona Sanford. We lost Stanley Thisselle, Ruth Heimbigner. and Douglas Erickson. fledged students of CHS.
