Cl-1.5. SHOWBOAT As Sophomores . . . i'Woo-wool Last call for passengers! All aboard ? ltis 1950 on our own fascinating Show- boat, which glides down the river of the past, leaving behind wide rippling streams of happy memories. First we must climb below deck, unload our belongings, and begin working in the boiler rooms of the C. H. S. Showboat like Trojans at our new jobs as ye sophomore crewmenfl To keep every wheel spinning, our favorites, Charles, lean, Brown, and Dick lead us through fears and won- derment during this great year. During Spohomore Week we, the silly seafar- ing strangers, get thrown around, stomped on, plowed under, and finally held up for approval by our hoving juniors and seniors. The boiler girls of the class play a fine brand of football on the front lawn, while the boys make out like'the Chattanooga Shoeshine Boy, and all of us dance about in a mile-long conga line, but we get re- venge at the swell dance afterwards, climaxing our first real step of getting to know the upper classmen. Then time out for a real footbal season, when Dick, Gene, and Bobby ioin the fighting Torna- does who not only capture the Pinellas County Trophy, but also the S. F. C. Championship. Aren't we proud when Barbara decks the Home- coming Court as the lone sophomore attendant? Christmas, with all its gaiety and crispness, flies by as we sheepishly get in on the famous formal dances, parties, and more rare times. We spy Dick and Bobby, along with the upper crewmen surging their way to fame as basketball stars this year, also. Then comes May Day, as Jessie, Bobby, jean, and Danny serve as class attendants in the Queens Court. Ah! Those delightful May Pole Dancers -what timingl? Thus closes our first attempt at success on the C. H. S. Showboat as mere boiler- room keepers, while we're dancing to dreamy graduation music. G. I-I. S. Sl-IOWBOAT As Juniors . . . A strong wind guides us now on the pathway to 1951 as our C. H. S. Showboat makes a change in the crew and big wheels. This year we, the juniors, step up on deck to keep it clean and ship shape for each new voyage. Were in a mess now, for not only do the eager sophs ask us what to do, but the p. Cf? seniors tell us what to do . . . do itf We have our problems, but with and when . . . and where ',.. and why to S Clyde, Bob, Barbara, and Brown guiding usihow can we lose? The Showboat now boasts four junior cheerleaders, Bezy, Jessie, jean, and Mary Lou, who probably have the big gest mouths in our class? Beaming faces light up even more as Bobby crowns Jes- eqgg1zA1uuna,,s sie, ueen of Homecoming with jean as Spellman and the team for a fine season Q QL, -. 1 i f we an attendant. Three cheers for Coach T O and lots of top ball playing. Also, in the , 9 sports highlights are Dick and Bobby again, this time as captains of the bas- X Wy ketball squad, while many other sharp- 'I A shooting 'deckmen' aid their cause. Lucky Bobby gains a berth Qalmost captainj on the S. F. C. team, The ,I tennis and golf teams win the con- , ference titles, too, while the Tornado if C 2 baseball and track men deserve high votes of praise.
