The wisdom of a Senior then was told To be as great as that of seers of old. The class was organized with proper rite: The colors chosen were our green and white. As Sophomores, many were the storms we passed, But weather, fair, we viewed with joy at last. As athletes, early stars began to shine, K In this great Held Old Twenty sure did fine. Among the varsity men, great was the fame Of Heebie, Holter, Hoppy in the game. On track team, too, Old Twentyls boys were true, And victories for them were not a few. The day arrived when juniors we were namedg Then Twentyls power we started to make famed. At last year's junior-Senior we did try To bid the Class of Nineteen a goodbye. Which they might hold in memory so clear, That school days might seem to them ever near. A sea in storms of war our class did sail, But deeds of patriotism ne'er did fail. VX-le fired the first gun in the Red Cross drive, VVhen Christmas season last year did arrive. , Some once did think that they would never see The Class of Twenty to united be. A public demonstration then was made To show that all the feuds away were laid. The knot, indeed, was tied that bound us fast, And all has been harmonious at last. The years in C. H. S. away have Hed, Till now the path of fame leads on ahead. Then let the standards learned in glad school days Be through the years to come our beacon rays. lllllI1MIHIIUIIllIlllllllllillIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIILIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIID

H. S. in the fall of 1918 under the supervision of Mr. Humke. It was the largest class in C. H .S., with about fifty students. The work at first was of a general order and many extempor- aneous orations were delivered. The class of 1918 was, without a doubt, famous for its red hot debates. In the trying times of 1918 when the United States called for help in the Fourth Liberty Loan, the public speaking class had a chance to show its colors, and it did. For one week in every theatre in Connersville, matinee and night, a member of the class acted as a four minute man and no less than thirty-live excellent orations were delivered After the Liberty Loan speeches, the class devoted its time to orations for the District Oratorical Contest which was held at Fortville. Miss Fern Copeland, '19, won first place and brought home the honors for old C. H. S. The class, after experiencing nothing but success, entered a triangular con- test with Liberty and Rushville and won second place. In the fall of 1919, public speaking was not forgotten and a new class was opened. lts work in debating has been unexcelled by any other organiza- tion in'C. H. S. The class has devoted much of its time to the study of Par- liamentary Law. It entered into the Discussion League and the subject talk was The Railroad Question. Sinks Tatman received first place in C. H. S. and represented us in the District Contest here, where he finished in second place among six contestants. He spoke under a handicap of illness which kept him bedfast until a few hours before the contest, but his talk was an instructive one delivered in a straightforward, effective manner which placed it almost on a par with the winning one. Finally, the high school took part in a declamation contest with Rush- ville and won hrst in both the girls' and the boys' contestf Norvilla DeHaven and Booth Carter were C. H. S.'s winning representatives. Although C. H. S. has only participated in oratory for two years, it has made very rapid pro- gress and excellent work has been accomplished. lllillllllllillilIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllillllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllIIIIIIlllIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIilllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfu
