Destination --- Diplomas September, 1948-we're oif! Seventy-eight rather timid travelers began their journey through the halls of learning at CHS. The sophomores gave us a sendoff in the right direction at the annual Sopho- more-Freshman reception. We put capable people in the drivers' seats that year and made a lot of progress. Dick Jackson was presidentg Curtis Anderson, vice president, Jerry Martin, 'secretaryg Hope Colley, treasurer, and Mary Wood, Student 'Council representative. Our sponsors were Miss Becker and Miss Swartz. Although we stuck fairly closely to the main road we accidentally detoured to the Brookfield Zoo, the Chicago Municipal Airport, and the Railroad Fair. They turned out to be happy accidents too, for we had a grand time sightseeing and getting better acquainted with each other. In coming to an end of this Hrst lap of our journey, we had a wonderful beach party at the State Park. We found traveling together to be loads of fun and were eager to begin again after a brief time out for swimming, sunning, and loating-a-nd working, for the more industrious. In September, 1949, seventy-seven well-seasoned travelers again hit the road under the excellent leadership of Jane Imhof as president, Curtis Anderson as vice president, Joan Wozniak as secretary, Carol Babcock as treasurer, and Sidney Cooper as Student Council representative. Our class sponsors, who contributed greatly to our success and well-being, were Miss Sayers and Mr. Johnson. We really stuck relentlessly to our course that year with only two side trips for recreation. One, of course, was the reception we gave for the Freshmen and the other, an outdoor party at Wilson's Shelter where we had a gay time playing group games, hiking the trails, and roasting hot dogs, topped off by an evening of dancing on Baraz's patio. We had reached the halfway mark in our journey and were looking for- ward to being upperclass travelers and wearing with pride that badge of distinction-the class ring. September, 1950-Wheels a rollin'. And all seventy-seven of us really rolled-sponsoring a Home- coming Queen, a Valentine Dance, selling magazines and concessions-all leading up to the biggest event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, more romantically known as the Stardust Swirl, a dreamy affair held at the Marquette Park pavilion. Another major event was a trip to Indianapolis, where we saw the State Legislature in action. The big wheels that year were Bill Cawley, president, Curtis Anderson, vice president, Melane White, secretary, Calvin Cheesbrough, treasurer, and Jane Imhof, Student Council representative. The fa-culty wheels were M.r. McCord, Mr. Yates, and Miss Fleming. Almost before we knew it, we had rolled right through our Junior year and it was- September, 1951-Destination in veiw! Sixty- one travelers, eager to reach the long sought goal, began the last lap of their journey by sponsoring the gay and traditional Fall Fiesta , and then to help meet our traveling expenses, we sold magazine subscriptions and held a bake sale. Other activities which kept us traveling at top speed were the publication of the Singing Sands and the production of the Senior class play, Home Sweet Homicide. Also as the result of a lively election campaign woman's position in government was greatly advanced by the election of Barbara Carlson, who won over Bill Cawley as president of the Student Body, the first girl to achieve this in many years. We chose blue and silver for our class colors, the American Beauty rose as our flower, and for our motto, We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies beyond. Whatever the future may bring to each of us, we know that we shall be better prepared to face it because of the knowledge, fun, and experience we have gained from our four years' journey through the halls of learning at CHS- Page Eight
