True, many fortune tellers, mystics and palm readers do claim to possess this power; but those who think clearly realize that no mortal has ever existed who was so marvelously psychic. Still, there is something exhilarating about attempting to see what lies ahead for a large group or for certain individuals. Perhaps this is true because it provides an opportunity for study of characters and ambitions, for careful scrutiny of changing modes of living, and for creative thinking about scientific experiments and inven- tions in years to come. But, above all, it provides an opportunity for free and unlimited prophecy. The class of 1941 sought to try its hand at looking into the dim days to come when it chose “Futurity ”as the theme for this yearbook. Looking first at our school, we see a majestic building rising from these grounds. It is a building modernistic in design, complete in euqipment, ample in size to care for the several hundred students who are here receiving their education. Inside the school are modern laboratories, well stocked library shelves, an impressive auditorium, and light, airy classrooms. This school is the center of the educational and social life of the city. Its courses are varied; its interest groups and activities embrace nearly every field of recreation and study. From this school come students who are blessed with a democratic educational system — students whose lives are successful because of the training they received here in their high school days. They are citizens of fine calibre We are looking at the Clearwater High School of tomorrow. We know not how many years may pass before this vision is realized. If the progress of the past twenty- five years is indicative, five, ten, or fifteen years should see the change completed. No one can prophesy this with entire accuracy only the future can tell only the future will tell Presentation Blazing trails is difficult; living up to a precedent is equally hard. Last year’s grad- uating class established such a precedent with the publishing of the first “Aqua Clara.’’ Hence, it has been no easy job for the class of 1941 to produce a yearbook equal to that im- posing volume. The first “Aqua Clara’’ was fashioned about the theme “Progress.” It told in graphic form of the development of C. H. S. in the last quarter of a century; but it ended with the year 1940. Alert members of this year’s annual staff noticed the fact and saw in it the opportunity to devote the second volume of “Aqua Clara” to the carrying of progress into the future. Thus thinking, they decided upon “Futurity” as the theme for this book. Be not misled: this annual is not to con- tain pictures of the seniors as they will appear twenty years from now. The pictures, the activities, the writings, are of present day peo- ple as they are today. But it is the hope that this annual, referred to in years to come, may insoire some students to greater heights, may bring about needed reforms in school life, may develop new activities and fields of learn- ing in C. H. S., and may foster a feeling of school spirit stronger than any that has ever existed for this school before. It is with this purpose that the annual staff presents to the public this, the second volume of the “Aqua Clara.” Dedication To those who have gone before us in Clearwater High School, the men and women who contributed to the progress of our school; to the students and teachers who are keeping it alive today; to the generations to come who will make the future of C. H. S. as sparkling and inspiring as the past with grateful thanks and good wishes, we, the class of 1941, dedicate this, the second volume of the “Aqua Clara.” Front Row: Alice Havener, Mary K.

We are seniors. We know we are. It’s easy to see, what with our hair beginning to gray at the temples, our tongues wagging mechanically over the law of Pythagoras and the blank verse of a Shakespearean play, and our coat lapels and blouses almost completely covered with medals and club pins. Yep! There’s not much doubt that we have at last reached the summit of our high school days. Somehow it just doesn’t seem possible that we were ever small enough to sit in those tiny desks over at North Ward and South Ward Schools. But evidently we were, for most of us have come up the long, increasingly difficult path together from our start back in the grades. Of course, we don’t remember much about those early years because we were children until we reached our freshman year. That was the year of the big campaign — the one that put the McKinley-Bryan race to shame. Candidates Ruth Kitchen and Revis Flowers organized their followers into strong-bound parties that printed signs, made speeches, and composed slogans thi-oughout the three week cam- paign. When Revis emerged the victor, the class came together once again and hastened to entertain itself with two picnics — one on a spring evening at Clearwater Beach, and the other on graduation day at Wall Springs. The summer of 1938 was a calm one as we sat basking in the glory of a most successful year as freshmen. Indeed, so satisfied were we that we basked right through our sophomore year with no thought of class organization. Of course, there were the hours and hours of Latin and geometry and biology, and sometimes it seemed almost too much to bear to be regarded as the “lowly sophs.” Nevertheless, the nine months galloped by, and ‘ere long we discovered that we had entered upon our junior year with nothing to hold us back but a couple of cases of fallen arches and a good seige of Moby Dick. Example number one of those who leap and then look was Mrs. R. B. Chafin (“Judy” the seniors call her), who agreed to guide the class of ’41 through its last two years in high school. ’Neath her protecting wing we elected Bill Caldwell president of our class and then proceeded to give the 1940 seniors the best party C. H. S. has heard of in a great many years. Juniors and seniors alike donned diapers, panty-waists, or pinafores to slip back five or ten years in age for the kid party. Ah, yes, ’twas a fair year— but even so, the dawn had not lighted the horizon until we emerged, approximately one hundred strong, full-fledged and thoroughbred seniors. Late September brought the customary elections with Kenny Miller coming out with the presidential gavel. However. during the first two months of school, not one, but more than a dozen seniors secured prominent positions. Tommy Harris became number one scribe of C. H. S. when he was chosen Editor-in-Chief of “The Chatter.” Mean- while, at the first meeting of the Student Council, the e : ghteen members had elected Bill Middleton as their president; and shortly afterward the Honor Society fol- lowed suit by naming Patricia Lowrey “Chief Brainbust- er,” An annual staff was chosen with Mildred Collins named head copy reader. prof. e. w.

H. Newman; the Ko-Op Kouncii leadership to Bill Caldwell; F. L. S. presidency to Eleanor Hancock; and the four junior Rotarian positions to Bill Alley, Gordon Wallis, Jack Woerpel, and David Wilcox. Being an enterprising and progressive class, early in the fall we hastened to order class rings and cards. When December brought the annual Faith Mission Christmas party, we padded ourselves, donned Santa Claus suits, and surrounded the huge tree with dozens of gifts. T me passed and so did our class play, ‘ ' Professor Pepp” — a whooping success, everyone said — at least we found people yelling “Bumski” for weeks afterward. In rapid review came senior “skip day” (ninety of us swam and picnicked together all day at Pass-a-Grille, the junior-senior shipwreck party (Cap’n Curry said we were marooned on a south sea island, so we came in bath-towels barrels, or grass skirts), and the senior banquet (which had as its theme National Defense and had as its special feature two toastmasters). Members of our class gleaned honor after honor in these busy days. First there was the V. F. W. essay contest. “One Nation Indivisible” John Nodine wrote, and the V F. W. chiefs wrote him a check for the $5.00 first prize. Meanwhile to Tommy Harris came a bronze key from the Quill and Scroll headquarters- In addition, his winning Easter editorial gave him a chance for a $500 scholarship. And D. A. R. representatives presented Mildred Collins with a medal as they named her the outstanding girl of the senior class. 1941 marched along as we participated in an impressive baccalaureate program at the Baptist Church with the Rev. Walter Feagins presiding. Our own glee club sang there, and, a week later, at the climax of the year, our graduation. This gala event, like the annual, had as its theme “Futurity,” with talks given by seniors presenting their outlook upon what-is-to-come. Indeed, the future is dim, as it stretches in its continuous path before us. We wonder about the world, about this school, about ourselves- Unsuccessful are we when we attempt to discern what the crystal ball has to say about individual careers. Doctors, there are, of course, and nurses, teachers, religious directors, beauticians, authors, aviators, engineers, and hundreds of other vocational groups. What will our class produce — a president, per- haps? a world famous actor or writer? socially prominent individuals? wealthy business men? The future clouds once again. What-is-to-come becomes a dimly lighted supposition kept alive only by the work and hopes and prayers of those who now are starting life in the outside world. Thus we, the class of 1941, see ourselves in the past; thus we press on hopefully toward a successful future- one which will make C. H. S. proud to claim us among its graduates.

The symbol is the keystone and the flaming torch. To be a member of the Honor Society is the greatest honor that can come to a high school student. dVationaL }ozsmia J2zacjii£ First How: Mildred Collins, Tommy Harris, Daphne Moore (President), Warren Peeler, Agnes Westervelt (Vice President).

Membership in National Forensic League is the highest honor a high school debator can attain. This society is made up of the debators who have achieved, through effort and study, prominence among the.r fellow debators. The Clearwater chapter of N. F. L. was founded in 1939 through the efforts of Miss Kirkpatrick, and s’nce that date it has grown into a club whose past and present members have distinguished themselves in all forms of speech work. N. F. L. is truely an organization of which C. H. S. may be proud. ■ The Ko-Op Kouncil, formerly the Pan-Hellenic Council, was found- ed two years ago for the purpose of bringing about a harmonious solu- tion to the problem of conflicting dates of the activities of the various clubs and classes in the school. This year the Kouncil sponsored a Ko-Op-Week-end in order to bring about friendlier relations among the students of C. H. S. Those organizations sending representatives to the Kouncil are: Student Council, Quill and Scroll, Honor Society, N. F. L., F. L. S-, P. A.

The purpose of the Council is to bring about a better relationship between the faculty and the student body, and to improve the spirit, the routine, and the general appearance of the high school. Members of the 1940-41 Council have even surpassed the prece- dent set for them by the projects of the Charter members.

The purpose of the club is to familiarize the members with the Spanish language as well as the arts, customs, and history of the various Spanish speaking nations; thus a closer bond of friendship and understanding is promoted between these countries and our own. Features of the Spanish Club meetings during the past year have been talks upon the individual South American countries and their leaders, and short dialogues in Spanish of every day usage. The climaxing social event of Los Gauchos is the annual banquet, at which time the members enjoy delicious Spanish foods, interesting and entertaining tali’’ songs, and dialogues, carried out in Spanish. a±aUE cm d ci je £ Front Row, right to left: Patricia Lowrey, Wreath Gathright (Treasurer)’ Faye Rutledge, Bob Penny (President), Peggy Lou Thomas (Vice Pres- ident), Tommy Harris (Secretai-y), Jacquie Belcher.

One of the greatest honors bestowed upon Clearwater High School in 1941 was its being chosen as a charter chapter of the newly organ- ized Masque and Gavel, an honorary society for students who are outstanding in speech work. Under the guidance of Miss Sarah De Kirkpatrick, speech director, the chapter got off to a running start with fifteen charter members, and has since added new members to its rolls. Students are chosen for membership for their enthusiastic work in some speech activity, such as debating, dramatics, extemporaneous speaking, or declamation.

Mastery of a junior course in library science plus satisfactory service make it possible for a girl to earn an extra credit. The task of publishing an annual that would not merely do C. H. S. justice but that would, in addition, live up to the precedent set by the 1940 Aqua Clara,” was no easy one. Hence, fruits of long months of toil have been poured by this year’s staff into this, the 1941 “Aqua Clara.” Jbzniox ' iPtau (pioduatLon First Row: Peggy Lou Thomas, Nancy Capes, Bruce Fisher, Daphne Moore, Dick Roy, Wilna McMullen, E.
