 Class History In the fall of 1961 the halls of CLHS were brightened by 54 bouncing Freshmen. Though rather frightened by blue slips, pink slips, teachers, and Seniors, we somehow managed to continue onward. Our Homecoming float, Sail to Victory, gaining no prize, sank in defeat. But we were only Freshmen. Being a bit more brave and eager, we bombed into our Sophomore year. A little less apprehensive, a little less afraid, but a little more, for we now numbered 55, we began another chapter of our high school career. This was, for most of us, consumed in study. Once again, our float flagged out. However, this only made us more determined to make our Junior year a real success. Retaining our number of 55, we entered our Junior year with all the enthusiasm necessary to make its highlights something we will never forget. It began with weeks of diligent practice and fun as we neared the night of our first production, The Mouse that Roared. To make up for our past record of failures, we broke tradition and claimed a first on our prize-winning float, We'll Swallow Everything but DEFEET. To add to the excitement our class rings came and screams of exaltation could be heard for miles around. But, the climax of our Junior year was yet in store for us. As spring drew near, so did the night of our Prom. Much preparation and hard work began. After many flower parties and hours of stringing wire and hanging crepe paper, the night finally arrived. The effort was indeed worth it. Three Coins in the Fountain was a great success. With such a year behind us, we were ready to accept the role as Seniors. The final lap of our frenzied race began. With each passing day we grew closer and closer to our final goal. Bearing the theme Crown of Victory our float again came out on top. Along with the disappointment of losing our undefeated football title and the sadness of finishing our last football season, we began to realize that the coming year would bring many lasts to our lives. In the spring we began working on our class play. Many long and tedious hours of practice, but fun, were spent in its perfection. On May 4 the first presentation of The Crucible took place. With all our memories and exciting experiences behind us, the end of our high school days was reached. We, as a class, came to CLHS on May 28 for our final walk together. We left as individuals, ready to face the glowing future.
