Five things observe with care; Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, And how, and when, and where.” A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ’49 ERS by Bobby Redford As Freshmen in ’45, we started upward with deep interest, to our pinnacle of hope, “Seniorship.” Everything was new and confusing to us. For weeks we scurried around like rabbits, always going to the wrong place at the wrong time. The first of the year, we were so quiet and shy that the rest of the school hardly knew we were alive, but after a few months we learned our way around and became adjusted to our new environment. The second lap of our four-year stretch, our Sophomore year, was even harder. There we began to learn foreign languages and encounter numerous tests, long home work assignments, and began to realize the seriousness of those “mental-breaking” exams encountered twice a year. Our third year proved to be more difficult still. Here, we started to use our own judgment about our work and play. We had lost a few friends along the way, but had gained some from the class before. In this year most of us were taken into clubs and began taking parts in sports and other school activities. Our Junior Play, “He Couldn’t Marry Five” will long be remem¬ bered by the ’49 ers. We sold magazines so that we could give the Seniors their annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. The day of the big dance, we started early to decorate the Center, and by evening had transformed it into a lovely garden setting. A delicious banquet was served by the ladies of Southside Grange. The dance which followed was equally enjoyable. We had worked hard, but it was worth the effort, for such events help bring the Junior and Senior classes closer to¬ gether and make for lasting friendship and cooperation between them. Following “Junior-Senior,” we turned our attention once more to those dreaded examina¬ tions. A few failures lessened our ranks, but September, 1948, found us entering upon our last year in C. H. S. We are sorry that as this, our Annual, goes to press, it is too early in the school year to record the concluding events of our class. We can only say that we are all looking forward to the next few months which will bring to a close our sojourn in C. H. S.
