A- QYAHWQEE x GLASS HISTORY X President James Monroe Vice President Paul Gilleepey Secretary Treasurer Carl Reed The Glass of '55 is triumphantly completing the third lap of its high school career. But unlike many other freshman classes, it showed from the very beginning remarkable ingenuity, initiative , and aggressiveness Much to the surprise and the consternation of the upper classmen, the first party was in the nature of a ball long dresses, but no orchestra, Besides being social dictators, some of the members gave evidence of being future C T. H S ath letio stars. Real students too are they, their straight A average having superceded the record of preceding classes. The second year the social standards were changed. The an nual party held on Valentine's Day was a tacky party but with orchestral accompaniment Our representatives in athletics were steadily growing Mike Savant held that line Tiger Merrillls prodigious length centered the ball every time Bud Pointer was right there, catching the ball and dribbling :Ln for a basket. The third lap unfolded an attractive and entertaining year. It presented an innovation to the entire student body, for hidden among its members were potential Hepburns, Barrymores, Clark Gables, etc. Dulcy enacted by a well chosen cast offered a bit of rare entertainment and displayed real dramatic ability For the first time in the history of the reign of the Football Queen, the honor befell a junior instead of a senior Lucille Hel lovay, with queenly grace and dignity, ascended the throne to reign for one year. All success to Dorris Hogs as he and his all star eleven tramp the field for football honors, Another gain in the course of running was obtained by the present basketball team when they elected cc captains for the en suing season Roland llerrill and La Vern Pointer were oho en to guide the team to victory Coach Larson has promoted a Personality Girl contest connected with the basketball season.
