SR' We entered the Coffeyville High School as green freshies in September, 1920, under the guidance of our esteemed principal, H. C. McMillin. We stood trembling in the unaccustorned environ- ment of the spacious halls of the Washington High School knowing not where, when or to whom to turn in our distress. Our misery was increased by our first chapel and amounted almost to panic when we were referred to as the green border of the balcony. On that day we would have given all of our possessions and all our hopes of future possessions to have occupied the seats and held the exalted positions of the Seniors. After chapel, we paced the halls, nervously like sheep in a strange pasture until the teachers playing the part of good shepherds finally herded us into the right class rooms. As time went on, we gradually, lost our feeling of strangness and became acquainted with teachers and students alike and began to feel very old and wise in the ways of the world. So the upper classmen began to ask, How can any of the Freshmen be worth so much in glee clubs, athletics etc? and they began to have a new and wholesome respect for us. We were very proud that we were the first Freshman Class allowed to organize, but we owe this only to our brilliancy. 5 By this time school was drawing to a close and we had become interested, not only in our books, but in C. H. S. and all its activities. The next year we entered proudly and triumphantly as Sopho- mores that Chapel where we had so tremblingly made our first I. , ' 5 appearance the year before. When the time came to yell, we joined in very beautifully and for the first time realized how good I , naturedly these yells were meant. After chapel we met our friends A and also made many new acquaintances. pi I After a few weeks we organized our new class and elected il g our class officers. We now caught more fully the C. H. S. spirit and I entered in all activities of the school with more enthusiasm and pep. ' I Then finally spring came and the Juniors and Seniors had their Q I banquet. We Sophomores looked upon this as most noted event and we realized that next year it would be our right to enjoy this , 3 celebrated event. Then school closed until next fall. I Finally the vacation came to a close and we returned to school refreshed and prepared to do earnest, hard work. We again organized our class and elected our class officers who performed gf? their duties faithfully throughout the year. yy Many things happened during our Junior year, which makes it KF, a memory of rare value to us all. Parties, picnics and weinnie Q3 .N V roasts are some of the things we enjoyed that year. Our Junior i, play that we worked on so hard was a grand and glorious success i and we gave the Seniors a banquet that will long be remembered L M. v i f Wf p. 4- x -' 'sw ,. - is X-ijyxf' W,-5 -ggfl' l f .if ,, X f LJ LJWQZQ +1 CHS Of Q43

We realize that each is some Freshman's Q QT V model and try to set a Worthy example. During four short years We -mf SQ. have developed intellect, sensibility and Will. We, the Seniors '24 realize that We have spent four of the hap- piest years of our lives and we leave dear old C. H. S. with sad hearts. We can always look back upon the years spent in C. H. S. With greatest of pleasure and recall happy memories. So We de- part with the satisfaction of a victory Won. But though our paths and lives lie far apart, In country or in city, near or far, Still over us the same blue sky will bend, The same stars shine, the same sun give us light, Humanity surround us ever and Our hearts, though wandering the great world o'er Will ever be as one in truth and love. Even so our four long, happy years do cease, And We must wander from these homelike Walls, Must leave our teachers, ministers of thought, Who skillfully have shaped our growing minds. Thus far they have led us--here their guidance ends, And in our memories their accents ring. 1 . 1 1 Q l I 1 I I N UN ' ul GJ 'J sv 1 W1 C ,,, M ,Q F A fi. Q., A Q, if I , U m
