1-L PUFFS AND PATCHES SENIORS ' REVERIE A S spring comes once again with her newly adorned trees, the Senior Class l of fortyffive must go forth to meet a new and greater challenge than the one just mastered. Although we are leaving physically, we feel, that just as each year’s growth adds to the tree, we have added three years of growth to our school. During these three years, we have gained confidence, knowledge, and the realization that our hopes and plans for the future can materialize through hard work and our faith in them. In our sophomore year, we spent most of our time becoming acquainted with C. H. S., learning which steps to go up and which to descend, trying to keep up with all the school activities and trying our best to study at the same time. Then came our junior year, which will always be a very memorable one to us. We shall never forget the football games, the scrap paper drive, the basketball games, the minstrel, and the prom. In the spring of this year, we began to realize that there remained only one more year of school for us and we resolved to work harder. Now, we are seniors with only a small part of our school life left to enjoy. This year we have determined to reach a higher goal in life; we have raised our standards and elevated our various ambitions. Our senior rings, which we received this year, stand as a reminder of the happy experiences, the friendships, and also hardships that we encount ' ered with our fellow students. Remember how thrilled we were when we first heard the words, “Seniors leave first,” in assembly? It took a few seconds for us to fully realize that we were the ones indicated. We shall always remember the rush at lunch period and the way we were continually eating on the wrong shift. As the Puffs and Patches goes to press we still have the prom, banquet, graduation, and other unforgettable times to look forward to. We have climbed a long and difficult road in the last few years and now as that one phase of our life is nearly ended we know that we have accomplished and learned many things of which we are very proud and shall never forget. We will use the valuable knowledge and experiences gained to the advantage of our fellowmen and our own welfare. The time has come when we must say farewell to C. H. S. but, just as the limbs of a tree are part of it, we shall always remain a part of our school throughout the years to come. With fondest memories and many regrets, we, the Class of Fortyffive, bid C. H. S. au revoir. —P. Murray. 10
