WE MAKE MANY 'FRIENDS Our high school years are exciting years filled with making friends, growing up, developing per- sonalities and learning how to mix socially. Be- cause our school is quite small we have the advantage of knowing well a large portion of the student-body. The various classes have many opportunities to work together planning activities that help us along the path of growing up. We are able to become better acquainted with our teachers and know we can ask them for help with a problem or invite them to share in some fun. Connie Johnson and Jerry Lanier are typical freshmen on Freshman Day, doing what they are told by Lynn Pequignot and Marthene Wiley, seniors.

THE SENIOR CLASS Gi, there's the first strain of Pomp and Circumstanoe . Now remember everyone, start out on your left foot. Adjust your tasse1s. Yes, there is the class of '55 marching down the aisle, each one maybe a little sad and full of memories. When this same class entered high school four years ago, a group of greenies, graduation seemed far, far away. ln this first year they sponsored a dance called The First Affair, a very appropriate title. Then time passed so quickly. They were sophomores before they knew itl They introduced a new dance called The King's Swing, which has become a tradition. They also provided flowers for the graduation ceremonies. Then came the busy Junior year. They worked furiously to put on their reception with the theme Paint the Tovm Pink. In order to do this, they sold magazines, sponsored a Junior Variety Show and had a Cake Walk and various dances to complete the treasury. During this year, they selected their class colors of navy blue and white, and the class flower, the red rose. Suddenly those green freshmen of '52 were seniors. They were busy every moment, being measured for caps and gowns, ordering invitations and senior pictures, heading various activities, preparing for their graduation ceremonies and planning for college. Even so they found time for fun by participating in Fresh- man Day and sponsoring the senior Christmas dance, Mistletoe Magic. Then in the Spring, they combined their talents to present the Senior Play. Finally, there was graduation. They were handed those valuable diplomas, prepared to face a new life as C. C. H. S. alumni. 24
