CLASS HISTORY Way back in the fall of 1940, sixty-three students walked hesitantly up the walk to C’ville with questioning minds, wondering what lay beyond this new turn in the road of their life’s jour- ney. Some took this new venture in stride, others took to corners, while others were found in every activity they could make themselves useful However, we had a “Get Acquainted Party” at the first of that year, and everyone started out on a friendly basis. The fall of 1941, when fifty-four of us returned, we felt we knew our way around a little better, but we still looked ud to the wonderful Seniors. We won the magazine drive that year, and went down to the local theater to see ‘That Night in Rio” Some of us got a good start in basketball and football in addition to many other activities There was an all-school roller skating party in March that a large per cent of the students attended and all had a good time. That was when gas wasn’t so scarce. When we came back in ’43 we found many new students re-enforcing our class from Nunica and Conklin War conditions presented problems which forced the Nunica and Conklin schools to close The Board of Education bought two buses which made it possible for students from near-by towns to come to C’ville. We presented “Apron String Revolt” that fall which was a success and greatly aided our treasury funds. We put a great dea1 of work on our banquet for the Seniors, ex- emplifying the Gay Nineties, and made it one of the most colorful occasions for that gym. Roger Grundman, Kenneth Hall. Ivan Plews, Don Peterson, Don Parker, Ernest Van Weelde, Richard Washam, and Gerald VanderLaan helped make the athletic season a very successful one and Donna Batson, Frances Schmidt, and Edna Laug played some good basketball Well, we closed the event- ful school year with a sigh, but looked forward to coming back in the fall as dignified Seniors When we came back with only forty students in 1943, we realized how close this war had come to us, for it had taken many of our boys, and we lost more as the year passed on. Our first success this year was winning the magazine drive again This time we saw “Mr Big” as a reward. We started the social year by sponsoring the first school party, which brought out many new students. The Coach saw hard work ahead looking toward the athletic season, but with a few new prospects and some of the experienced ones, we came close to coming out on top in football The basketball season was a tough one, being disrupted in the middle by boys leaving for service Because the gas situation presented difficulties, we decided to have a good old-time Christmas party in our gym. With such a small class, it turned out very successful. We could see where we needed more money so we started selling hot dogs once a week These sales were very successful and certainly helped out our funds After the first semester, events began pi’ing up one after another. We began work on our play, “The Guest Room ” It proved a great success for which we thank Mrs. Altenburg, our director At the same time, constant work on our annual was necessary to make it one of the best. Then came spring days with the banquet to look forward to, and, wonder of wonders, we had final- ly climbed the ladder to where we could take our trip to Chicago Ah, just one more step and here we are, with baccalaureate over and graduation night here. There are probably a few tears held back and some sighs because, more than we want to admit, we really regret leaving dear C H. S —LAURA CARSON.

LIFTING ANCHOR You lift your anchors one by one, Like ships that sail away to sea. The years of preparation done, You leave the school beneath the tree For colleges yonder on the hill. And seek for oceans wider still. We cannot keep you harbored here, Though hearts, like cables, feel the strain, Into the mists you disappear, While we upon the shore remain Like sailors’ folks whose candles burn Until the wanderers return. From ties of school, from ties of home. You lifi your anchors one by one Across life’s larger sea to roam. To get some greater duty done. And yet we hope for ever more That these will keep you close to shore— Your mother’s love, your father’s God, And all the friends of childhood days, The place you dwelt, the paths you trod, A hundred things, a hundred ways. For, if life’s sea should treat you ill, Remember these await you still. —Edna Jean Scott
