Page Forty-six CLASS PHUPHEEY UP '47 ll' one might loolq into the future of the class of '47 of Charles L. Yoon, he might find that the group as a whole has turned the wheel of life many times since it bade farewell to the dear old Alma Mater. At the end of the road where the path hranches out into the trihutaries of life, some memhers toolt the way that was the easiest while others toolq the road that led to fame and achievements. Ten years may find us even further into the channels of time than we could ever imagine. Though our iron of life may he melted and new shapes and molds may talte their place, the elements cannot he any stronger than when we stood together as a symbol of our school. The crystal of time would doubtless show the markings of many ideals that were carried out. Amid the great and nohle professions of the world one might find the contrihutions of those who once wallaed the halls of Charles L. Coon. Time may also reveal the genius of those who received their haclg- ground at the school of their youth. Along the lanes and highways of life we meet those who are still striyf ing for an education, some who are seelting happiness, while there are some who are just drifting. If a true prophet of old were here to tell us what would he waiting for us just around the corner, there would he those who least suspect the promises of the future to he so many. Since we have no prophet to tell us what lies in store for us, we can only malae a foundation for what is to come. Douhtless there will he many great successes and many failures, hut only the optimistic viewpoint can win for us the opportunities of our future. Xlfith the will to win and a stout heart, our prophecy can he one to he proud of. And so with this hope for the future we leave only a promise of loyalty and love to our school. Ten years from now may our eontrihutions prove to he of great value to society and ourselves. May we prophesy that we will he the true worlaers of tomorrow.

They take part in all of the activities of the band. llaving been in the band, they all play an instrument. The-drum section is typical of the different sections of the band. Frequently the band is divided into the different sections for practicing during the hour given to this class each day. The mascot, ferry Chappell, was chosen by the band. Ile has a uniform similar to the uniform of the band members. Taking part in the activities of the band, he is an important member of the band. Once considered a co-curricular activity, instrumental work in the Charles L. Coon High School in recent vears has held as high a distinction as any other phase of our instructional program. ln addition to the personal enjoyment and satisfaction they derive from band work, the band members and lN'lr. Eller have been showered with honors and awards for their achievement.
