Ray was princi- pal. Other members were Misses Nanny Kyle, Ruby Lipscomb and Jessie Mallory. For the year Miss Kyle was our sponsor, and we chose as our class president, Anita Moris but in the second year she sunk in the sea of matri- monyg By the second year some of our bombers had dropped bynthe wayside. Miss Grace Martin and Mrs Louise Hamer were new faculty members. This year our class president was Helen Ruth Hyde,and we were sponsored by Miss Grace Martin. There were two literary socities in school at this time and the sophomores were represented by both the Excelsior and the Cherokee socities. Parties wereUalso a source of entertainment this year. In l956 we advanced to be mischevious juniors. John L. Moulton was our president and Miss Kyle was again our sponsors Miss Audrey Roe joined our faculty this ye r. W W re also joined by Mary Lou Petty from Kentucky, Mzry Lend Brcnts and Willie Pearl Fcntre S As We W re Juniors now, we entertained the seniors on n educational trip 1n, and around Nashville In 1937 we ha gained the top step of our high school years and had as our new principal Mr George I Henry and as coach, Mr Mae Felt e Our presldeit for this year w s Justice Hyde, and for the thirl t 1C our sponsor was Miss Kyle W re pr ud of three of our seniors who have been in the eovvtitown school together for the E B Nichols nl TL tice Hyde May 20, less ur ws the curtdin on fourteen seniors who will new bfgin more serious life, but not possibly 1 h ppier one than we have spent here The most utstmnding thing that we have done we think, is to leave this the first school t ' U.

'Q e'l,44 A Q Our school days fast are flying, , The end for us is near But the memories of our Alma Mater To us will always be dear. Remember the years together we've spent, , They number twelve in all, I think, And now that they are gone the thought Causes my heart to sink. In future years to come After we've all grown grey When our backs are growing stiff And we have ceased to play- We'll look back upon our school-days At dear old C.H.S. And thank the Lord that us With these sweet memories he did bless: Of ups and downs in the school-room, , ' Of parties and picnics to which we went, Of ball-games won and lost, ' Of jolly errands upon which we were sent, Of school teachers old and young, ' Of friends, enemies, and classmates, too, Of school-day sweethearts and starlight nights When the sky was clear and blue. Now we step out in the future And choose our path of'lifea Some will take up business, law, or medicineg Others will take a wife. When we grow old and dreamy ' And all sunken in the chest, We'll live again in the memories Of the dear old days at C.H.S. -- Justice Hyde I its ,J 666666 6666666-66 ' CLASS PROPHECY 'What will the class of Coopertown of 1958 be doing fifteen years from now?' I asked of the old fortune teller who stood over her chrystal ball. She waved her wand and the ball clouded, then cleared, and the old woman began in solemn tones? 'Justice Hyde, your class president, I see again in politics, living in Washington, 9.8.4 and happily married to Dorothy Hinkle. James R. Farmer, your art editor, I see as a famous artist, giving art lectures at the Partheg non. He is married to Sadie Felts and is happyfi' Two of your members I see in the entertainment field. I see Willie Pearl Fentress as the HN h Baby Snooks', and Mary Lena Brents as the Martha RayeW, known as such because of her big mouth. Your two honor students, Helen Ruth Hyde and E.B.

I see Mary Elizabeth York as confidential secretary to the Govenor of Tennessee. The old woman stopped, and I quickly asked her 'Rnd where will I be?N ' I The ball clouded again, and she answered, W Mary Ellen Shannon, I see you running a Beauty Salon in Springfieldrn ' I sighed and turned away, happy in the thought that although we were scattered all over the ,,ew Q ,15- X A .

Plnins on their home floor November the fifth. The outcome of the game was a 28 to 28 tie. The lassies, starting out with eour age, won their first five games. Then they were downed hy the mighty Southside. However, they re- tained their courage, and just before the Christ- mas holidays they played their most outstanding game of the season with White House, winning over them 61 to 58. After Christmas they lost two of their for- wards, Ntllie Ruth Wilson and Lucy Ann MeMahan. With this jolt the ttam seemed to lost hope, but somehow they finished the season losing eight and winning twelve games. At the district tournament at Springfield th ,.,r y def,ated Haitsville Sl to Bl and were dofeattd by Clarksville 45 to 51 the following night. All in all the season was fair. For this they wish to tri K ecaeh Felts for his training, Heier Ruth Hyit fir Ltr Your ytnrs of guarding, and the whole team for its cooperation. Sports Editor, Mary E.

And it came to pass as the days went by, he pas ed scads of tests. They that were grouehes smil- ed on him and gave him the glad hand. And those in the city that were the good stu- dents, and they that spent their days in adding to the alibi sheets were astonished. They one to the other said, Nwhat the dickensi W How doth he get away with it?' And it came to pass that many were gathered together in the study hall, and a soothsayer came among them, saying, WHow is it that this stranger among us accomplisheth the impossible?W Whereupon, the soothsayer made answer, WHe of whom you speak is one hustler. He ariseth very early in the morning, and goeth forth full of pep. He maketh the honor roll, He complainrth noty neither doth he knock. He passeth up no' task. He is arrayed in purple and fine linen, while ye go forth with faces unshaven and with holes in your socks. While ye gather here and say one to the other WVerily, it is a heckuva day to work,N he is ' already abroad and when the class hour cometh, he needeth no alibi. His lessons are prepared. The poolroom attracteth him not, and the gals' he passeth with a look os scorn on his snoot.' He smileth alike on the just and the unjust. He sayeth not to the teaeher,NBehold they that are in this school are a bunch of boneheads,W nor doth he report that he can't pass History and consoleth himself in a poker game. He knoweth his line. When he goeth to look for a job, men say unto him, Nay, Nay when he cometh in, yet when he goeth forth he hath the job and the bosses heth their names on the line that is dotteth. He hath taken with him two angels: Aspiration and Perspiration. He knoweth whereof he speak- eth, and he worketh to boat hocketh. Verily I say unto you, go forth and do likewise.
