CHALLENGE O God, that flzuue-kissed, waiting star out there Is like an uusought voice which calls to me, And, though it tells of no great lofty stair, Comnmnds to climb come clear, insisteutly. These lougiugs, unfullilleil, that Hood my heart, 'lhere throbbing dreams that pull me to my feet Cuu't they be stilled? Vlihy must they tear apart The old eouteutmeut of a chzu'tered bent? I almost wish ltd never raised my eyes From setuid security of tried paths here, lint, since I've seen, the shouting song of skies Falls like ai reveille upon my eztr. I must be up! Oh, I must make at stair! This Darkness shall not keep my own from me The way is steep, but. dear God, help me :lure Aseents Where I may walk all strong and free. Aud then, perhaps, some day Iill reach the thing, On hard-built steps, far Hung into the sky. I'lI think my Hngers brushecl an angel's wing Until I see the Stardust drifting by.

PUFFS 6- PATCHES 1936 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY N September, 19232, we the graduating class of 736, entered the C. H. S. Library olf learning. Home of us C'tIlllC a little soonerg however we all came with that sanie feeling ot ambition to do things worth while. We were eager to see what this gray building could possibly have in store lfor us. Seine were seared, and others were too exeited to know what they were doing. Our upperelassnien seemed to take much interest in us. The Sophoniores gave us a great W6lCO1l1C at our initiation, and party. They know that we had our greatest and most interesting books ot lil'e to read, and they wanted to see us well prepared. This library was divided into Jlfour large rooms or years. The first being the room for the .Freshmen and may be called the first year of high school. The second was the rooni tor the Sophoinores, and the third was the room for the Juniors. The fourth was the largest and inost important. This was the room we all loved so well and hated so badly to leave. We knew that we would miss it terribly. The books in the first rooni elf the library seemed a little complicated. They were stacked in the shelves waiting to be opened and studied. Algebra was rather hard to get used to but, to nie, Latin was the book. There seemed to he so many phrases and Clauses we had never heard o.I', but may we not say better late than neverf' Thus we went through the first room and leplft for our vacation. We eaine into the second rooni the following tall to study larger and better books. lVe had discarded our shaky feeling and we could work better. We seemed to know a little more of what it's all about. If we didn't know then, we certainly had our chance to learn. Ilere we went with Uacsar through some of his wars, and in speaking ot ourselves, we inight even repeat his famous words, vini, vidi, vicif' We also had another interesting book in this rooni, biology was the name. None other than Mr. Mitchell eould niake ns understand this hook so well. We learned the nieaning ot 2llllOClJtl and 1JHl'2l1llCCllllll, two popular words ol? C. H. S. When we came into the third room. we accomplished even more than we did in the other two years. We gave the English language a little more justice and learned of the important authors and poets. lVe studied about the good old days when the horse and buggy were in style. Some ot us selected the aeadeniie eourse for the remaining two years, and others selected the conunereial course taught by Miss Allen who really did things 'for the eoininercial department. One ot her achievements was getting new rooms for us. lt was with her aid that our Senior Ulass ol' '36 gave oL1r play, Adventures ot Toni Sawyer? 22
