+T5'?'7W'f if THE COH I SCH Fl History of the Senior Class of 1935 I Y Many people think that a standard senior class history should be used at all schools year after year because they see no difference between class histories. Still others believe that no history at all is needed. We object to no history attall and even to a standard history, for we too are different. We have different ideas, dif- ferent habits, different surroundings, different emotions and different objectives. Upon entering our great institution four years ago tit seems only a short while nowj, we looked upon a dark and dismal future. incidentally, the gloom of the depression into which the country had been plunged prevailed everywhere, and our spirits were lowered still further by some embarrassing moments. at the hands of upper classmen.

Work progressed and our load became lighter. The condition of the country became improved and we all assumed a brighter attitude. We were practically pushed and pulled through our freshman term, our teachers in front and our parents in the rear. As sophomores we found the work more interesting, and everybody dug in to make it a good year. If one really works, the time flies quickly, and so it was with usg days became iveeksg weeks, months. The Spring term began with its changes and soon we were to see the end of our second year at dear old C. H. S. ' Vacation days passed almost before we could realize it. More registration days, more classes, more holidays and we found ourselves, not Juniors, but dignified Seniors. , not 5

First there came registration, arrangement of classes, election of officers, class meetings and, lastly, school work. Although we shall be happy to receive our diplomas, who can forget those pep meetings in the gym, the din of cheers that greeted the basketball squad as it ran on the courtand the yell that the student body gave' for the Orange and Blue down at Memorial Stadium? The educational as well as humorous programs that we saw in assembly, will be recalled time and again. All these things have found a place in the heart of every senior as he sees the end of the year draw near. Lastly, graduation comes as a glorious end and reward for the efforts and true guidance on the part of our teachers and Mr. Kendrick through the most im- portant period in our lives. I 9d i5
