Chestnut Ridge High School - Lion Yearbook (New Paris, PA)

THIS IS YOUR LIFE The curtain rose on our high school career in 1954 when we scurried onto the stage at Schellsburg-Napier High School. That year we managed bit parts here and there, but the only thing that seems to cling to our memories about those days was the hazing by upperclassmen, a custom which seems to have passed on with S. N. H. S. We began our Sophomore year in the vast, newly erected C. R. H. S. After wandering around for a few weeks with compasses and a road map. we finally regained our sense of direction. As mighty Iuniors our premiere performance was Father of the Bride. We sold letters to bolster our treasury sufficiently for our lavish Mike Todd type Senior Sendoff. Incidentally the gym nearly burst its seams with pride over being decorated for the first Prom held in our new school. This year we also sponsored a Sweethearts' Dance on St. Valentine's Day. As Seniors-Full fledged stars, top names on the marquee, and all that jazz-we produced the highly dramatic Kind Lady. Then aided by our sale of Christmas cards, we had a grand 3 day tour of Washington, D. C. We were also kept quite busy participating in athletics, compiling the paper and yearbook, and, of course, studying Trigonometry and MacBeth. Although the curtain has come down on the first act of our class his- tory, we all hope that the acts to follow will be as fast moving and enter- taining as the one enacted on the C. R. H. S. stage.
