Through no desire of her own CHS took a group of bewildered, wide- eyed freshmen in the fall of 14.7 to have and to holdtr--if she could. This eager group, consisting of 3$ persons, was to become the class of 5l» Wie were well directed that first year by Miss Smith and Mr, Knott as our sponsors; Beverly Gathercole, whom we elected president, presided over the class meetings, Dick Shuey was Vice President, and Madonna Roberts was Secretary- Treasurer. Everyone dreaded the traditional initiation, but this was soon thought of as something to be laughed at. So we went through the year discover- ing among us a few geniuses; well, maybe o-n-e-J Leo Smith was our president during our sophomore year and Mr. Richard Clark was our sponsor. Dick Shuey was Vice President; Dolores Clark, Secretary; and Janice Beals, Treasurer. Mr. Charles C. Clark took over as Superintendent and Mr. Eaton became Director of Vocational Rehibilitation at the State School of Woodward. Five of our classmates departed and six new members joined our class, increasing the enrollment to 39 Mr. Richard Clark did an excellent piece of work in guiding us through our busy Junior year while Leo Smith was re-elected to carry on the responsibility of being president. Marlowe Stiffler was Vice President; Beverly Albright, Sec- retary; and Janice Beals, Treasurer. Janice Beals was elected as the Junibr attendent at the homecoming football game. Nine students departed during our Junior year and five had the privilege of Joining us. Our enrollment totaled 35 We selected our class ring which was a crest set in our choice of ruby, black onyx, sapphire, or just the plain insignia. Our class play, Henrietta the Eighth, by Kurtz Gordon, a 3-act comedy directed by Miss Ruth Bauer,was presented on March 29 1950. The cast was as follows Wilma Sutton....................Marilyn Patty Maggie..............Beverly Gathercole Carol Sutton........Mary Joan Williams Claire Sutton...................Shirley Owens Dizzy Lucas .......................Dick Hunnel Baggy-Pants......................Donald Dutton Ding Barrett......................Larry Rawlins Dong Barrett....................Russell Edwards Annabelle Mason...Marcella Henderson Jimmy Howard.........Marlowe Stiffler Henrietta Carver........Mariam Deskin Ray Taylor..................Leo Smith Lizzie.........................Violet Buckley Martha.........................Louise Russell The Coke Set........Darnell Goughnour ..........JoAnn Hills, Dolores Clark .........Dale Edwards, Duan Schroder The genuine highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and prom—the theme was Fairyland. Under a canopy of clouds of angel hair, the attendents danced to the strains of the Honey Dreamers. The class of '51 was very proud of their accomplishments as Juniors. Seniors at lasti With a sigh, the Class of '51 now consisting of 28 stud- ents, went to work on those last important milestones that a senior class is faced with. Miss Woods and Mr. Clark were our sponsors and Leo Smith reigned as President. Bob Clippinger was our Vice President; Janice Beals, Secretary; and Mariam Deskin, Treasurer. We had our pictures taken by Sarwin of Des Moines and Sandy of Prairie City. We began production of the 1951 annual, COLFAX TIGERS, published by Inter-Collegiate Press of Kansas City, Missouri; and, last but not least, on May 3 we presented our Senior play Brother Goose, a farce comedy directed by Miss Woods. The Juniors presented us with an elaborate banquet on May 11, followed by the prom with Ralph Zarnow's Orchestra providing soft music to bring back memories. And finally came those last two-awaited events ... baccalaureate and com- mencement. Now we have our diplomas, and are ready to go into unexplored realms of life, but not without bidding CHS a fond adieu and thanking our parents, the school patrons, and the faculty for their kindness and patience with us through- out our school career.
