CLASS HISTOR Y We entered high school in the fall of 1961 full of ambition and high hopes of achiev- ing a bit of immortality, at least in C.P.C.S. Our class of twenty-eight elected: Steve Ward, President; Mike Lennox, Vice-President; Janis O'Gorman, Treasurer; and Jean Hepburn, Secretary. We chose Mrs. Champney as our class advisor and we were lucky enough to retain her services for our four years of high school. Our first activity as Freshmen was a very successful Fall Hop. ” This was followed by several activities, including a Valentine's Dance. We bought our class pins and made their presence ex- tremely obvious. Ralph Willard joined our class early in the fall, but during the course of the year we lost Albert Colvin, Bob Hoyt, Corena Faulkner, Naomi Smith and Dianne Green. The next year as Sophomores we lost a bit of our wildness, but lacked naught for en- thusiasm. We worked hard increasing our treasury by $700, looking forward to our Sen- ior trip. Our big money making project of the year was our Halloween Dance, fol- lowed by an original work week, a St. Patrick's Day Dance, a food sale, and several oth- er record hops. Our class officers that year were: Steve Ward, President; Gail Alford, Vice-President; Jean Hepburn, Secretary; Janis O'Gorman, Treasurer. Danny Silver and Sharon Hewitt left C.P.C.S. Steve Ward was elected President, Janis O’Gorman, Treasurer, and Jean Hepburn, Secretary, for an unprecedented third straight term in our Junior year. Linda Walrath and Carol Collins joined us that year as Steve Ward and David Stowe moved away. Jim Bonner, our elected Vice-President, served capably as President atter Steve's departure. Our treasury profited by a Christmas card sale and several dances, we ordered our crass rings early and somehow managed to pay for them. Meanwhile, we staged an extreme- ly successful and enjoyable comedy. Ring Around Elizabeth , using the good-luck cry of break-a-leg ! Another high point of our Junior year was our Prom, the theme of which was Roman Holiday . Twenty-two of us finially entered our Senior year looking forward to our New York trip and graduation, but with many fond memories of our years at C.P.C.S. We start- ed off the year with a magazine sale, a raffle, a candy sale, and work on our yearbook. Mary Jane Watson joined our class. Our slate of officers was Ed Gilmore, President; Ronald Van Brocklin, Vice-President; Bill Hoyt, Treasurer; and Louise Davis, Secretary. We have had countless good and bad experiences during our years in high school, all of which were valuable to our education. Mr. Corbitt and Faculty, we thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn.
