These students are Ada Mae Creech, Ru-Dene Batten, Edna Creech, Peggy O'Neal, and M. W. Thompson. Among those that have been on the Honor Roll at various times during the year are: Mozelle Hocutt, Thelma Lee Jones, Peggy O'Neal, Louise Boyette, Dwight Price, Weldon Hogge and Jasslyn Corbett. Twice during the year, the class has en- joyed social functions. Just before Thanks- giving the girls complimented the boys with a party. On Valentine Day the boys returned the favor to the girls with a party. The girls gave their annual chapel pro- gram in January. They presented a one-act play entitled, Pa Wants a Cushion . The theme was that a cushion can be useful as well as ornamental. The boys presented A Wedding in Coon's Town in March. Rudolph Harris was the bride and Riley Naron was the groom. Win- ton Nowell said the vows with very impressive gestures. Jasslyn Corbett sang a most im- pressive solo. Vernetta Harris was the flower girl and Oscar Tippett, as the mother, wept bitterly when her daughter was given away. We have lost several members of our class during the year. Possibly the one which we have missed the most is Joseph Strickland. We have gained three girls since opening of school. C.H.H.S. ECHOES Page 9

VVe would like for the rest of the school and our patrons to hear about it. Forty-six were on the roll in September but four of these were lost during the year. Of our present number, several have records worthy of mention. The following have not missed a day during the entire year: Mar- guerite Atkinson, Joy Brown, Doris Corbett, Rosa Lee Congleton, Helen Tippett, Ruth Par- rish, Calvin Perry, Nevell Davis and Elmo Richardson. These students made the semes- ter Honor Roll: Lemuell Hogge, Sherwood Davis. Will Barnes Fowler, Calvin Perry and Joy Brown. Doris Wilder missed by only one point in one grade. ln athletics, our class has not shown up as it should. We had only one member on the boys' basketball team. This was Henry God- win, who saw very little action. In baseball, Henry Godwin and A. G. Ailder made the grade. Violet Brown and Rosa Lee Congleton were members of the girls' basketball squad. We had 16 members in the 4-H Club. ln fact, Will Barnes Fowler, one of our leading Sophomores was president of the club. Maloye Hinton won first place at the Corinth-Holder 4-H Club style show. We gave our annual chapel program in February. We tried to impersonate some of the best known and leading citizens of the United States. Will Barnes Fowler acted as President Roosevelt and Gertrude Edwards as Mrs. Roosevelt. Maloye Hinton impersonated Mae West, Calvin Perry-Bob Burnsg Henry Godwin-Kate Smithg Vivian Pearl Johnson- Gracie Allen, Hursell Fowler-George Burns, Helen Tippett-Baby Snooksg Davis Chamblee -Baby Snooks' father, Wilton Raper-Rudy Valee. Music was furnished by D. J. Smith, Marguerite Atkinson, and Johnny Burton O'Neal. Doris Wilder acted as master of cere- monies. Mr. H. V. Payne was our home room teacher. He proved to be most helpful to us and we appreciate his efforts a great deal. He also taught us Biology. Miss Suddarth taught our English and History, Mr. Lewis taught Al- gebra and Miss Hawkes taught Home Eco- nomics. We Sophomores enjoyed this school year and look forward to next year for more enjoy- ment and better records. M..- POQG8 C.H.I-I.S. ECHOES

Mildred Dean, Mable Nor- don Godwin, Lessie Hocutt, Geneva Woodard, Qwho is now First Mate Wilderl Clara M. Pigg, and LaVerna Langston twho is now First Mate Brittl. Lt. Mable Nordon Godwin proved such an able seaman that we kept her for a long time. About this time we also took on a new sailor, Elizabeth Gibbs. The final suggestions for going on deck were given by Second Mate Ruth Cunningham, and Lt. Annie Lee Hawkes, fwho is now First Mate Coblel. About this time we decided to leave the sail- ing vessel we were on and embark on a steam- ship. On the last lap of the voyage, on the small sailing vessel, there were 90 members on b-oard. Already 35 had decided not to sail further. Of this 90, 32 saw no reason why they should continue their voyage further. Studying on the deck, 58 of us, with our pass- ports Cseventh grade diplomasb clutched in our hands we were anxiously awaiting the hour when we would go on board the larger ship, which was to carry us many another mile. This journey was not to be a brief one, but one that would extend over a period of four years. Practically all of this time would be spent on the boat except for four months out of each year, during which time the boat would dock in the same interesting and picturesque town so that the passengers might visit the sur- rounding country. On our voyage on this strange and unknown body of water, we were to face greater problems than had ever before confronted us. The time finally came for us to embark. We climbed the gang plank and were greeted at the top by her worthy skipper, Captain E. C. Cunningham, who welcomed us and instructed the sailors, Ruby K. Isley, sponsor and Lts. Williamson, Holland, and Paine to show us the boat. When the gang plank was taken up and anchor weighed, we sought our staterooms to unpack and become more familiar with our surroundings. It seemed that only one of our crew became sea sick and left the ship. We passed through two heavy storms texamsj and encountered minor squalls every four weeks ttestsl. At times it seemed that the boat was destined to be detroyed, but each time she weathered the storm. In the spring of '38 all but one of us succeeded in attaining the first harbor which signified that one-fourth of our voyage was finished. For our second voyage we lost Sponsor Ruby K. Isley and Lts. Williamson and Hol- land, who were replaced by Sponsor Charles F. Lewis and Lts. Carlton, Henderson and Richards. For this voyage we again had 58 members, four changes had been made in our class personnel. In the fall of '39 we set sail for the third harbor, this time we lost Lts. Henderson and Paine, who were replaced by Lts. Rogers and H. V. Payne. We had 51 members aboard for this cruise. Nine members had decided to repeat the second voyage or discontinue alto- gether. The new passengers were taken on and their confusion and discomforts amused the older ones very much. The waters were a little rougher this year, so we had to work harder than ever to continue to be good sailors . However, we had learned how to keep from getting sea sick when our ship was rocked by the billows. When our third year on board was ended we reached the third harbor, having suffered very few catastrophes on the journey. For the final cruise we lost Lts. Rogers, Richards and Carlton who were replaced by Lts. Suddarth, Austin, and Hawkes. For this fourth and final cruise, the fall of '40, we left seven of our members to join the crew that came next year. When Ila Mae Reardon was transferred to the ship of matrimony she failed to finish with us, so we had only 41 members for our final cruise. Thus we started our final cruise, the saddest and most exciting of all. This year most of us have been suc- cessful in qualifying for diplomas. The sponsor of the crew, Charles F. Lewis, has proved to be more help than we ever thought any sponsor could be. He has been with us for three years and we wish to state our sincere appreciation to him for his kind- ness and help. Of the 125 who started in the fall of 1930, only 17 have completed the voyage without in- terruption. They were: Laney Grace Fowler, Pauline Richardson, Wilma Ruth Davis, Mary Ellen Driver, Ruby Edwards, Barbara Nell Wilder, Costa Hocutt, Jr., Inez Maiden, Wanda Wilder, Jessie Boykin, Elbert Price, Milton Nowell, Adele Lee, Kathryn Harris, Eugene Barham, Thurman Batchelor and Edna Smith. The remaining C223 either began their voy- age prior to 1930 or have been added later. We have had the usual activities the last week and the end of the memorable voyage will be reached at Sunset when we file down the gang plank and receive diplomas showing we have completed the trip.
