+----------FOOTPRINTS---------♦ Class History September, 1930 marks the beginning of a four years’ record of outstanding achievements for the class of'34. The group of 41 “green’’ noisy Freshmen soon showed itself capable of qualifying for a place in the annals of C. H. S. history. Many Seniors, as well as Sophs and Juniors, looked with envy at the places occupied by Freshmen on the Honor Roll. We made an outstanding record the first year in musical ability and stage performance, by donating two of our members for the Operetta “Crocodile Island”. The progressive, enthusiastic spirit we had portrayed as Freshmen was increased with our entrance as Sophomores. Though we decreased in number somewhat, we increased abundantly in wisdom and ability. We were the smallest class in 1931-32 having a total of 34 members. We were lacking however, only in number. Throughout the )ear we gained recognization in all phases of school activities. Several mem- bers made the first squad in football, one in basketball, and one of our class took first place at the Regional Meet in track. We also had representatives doing very well in oratory. In addition to all of these scholastic achievements, we also enjoyed many social activities. luniors Our number was re inforced by the entrance of class- mates from Nunica, Lamont, Allendale, and Conklin. The confidence we had obtained through our past success, was now accompanied by bv the self satisfied feeling of real prestage, for now we were among the upper classmen. However, we did not slacken our pace toward the high goal of success at which we had aimed. Once again the class distinguished itself in athletics, as well as Debating and Oratory. Our Junior play,“Beads on a String”, composed of a very capable cast, was a huge success under the equally capable directing of Miss Sorr. When the time approached for the great social function of the year, we once again showed our competent judgment and independence by throwing aside the cloak of formality and pretence, defied conventions, and gave the Seniors a banquet that was different, one w-here they could really be themselves. Plain, but very enjoyable to all. The goal at last!! Self confident, dignified, noble Seniors!! The most enjovable of all High School years. What a record we make in this, our last year—ten football letter men—three chan pion del aieis — four Seniors out of a cast of six in an all school play, “Haunted”— —outstanding representatives in Oratory and Track. A record to be proud of and talked about. Our High School days are swiftly drawing to a close, and as we leave, we sincerely hope that the future classes of C. H. S 11 a deri e the manv benefits and enjoyments that were so cheerfully bestowed upon us during our High School career. Page Twenty-four
