c m X HI SKAN Twenty-three Senior ( lass History In the early autumn of September, 1923, the most dazzling array of students entered the C. H. S. “Temple of Learning.” Indeed, we (the present class of ’27) were the center of attraction from the very first! When our instructors viewed our class of about eighty members it was plainly shown that they were awed and stupefied by such a quantity. However, as time passed by their respect was commanded by our fertile minds and our high rank of scholarship. Our interest in all activities was evident and remarkable. Being ardent fans we gave a party for the football players, the one outstanding social event of the year. During the late Christmas season we joyously received a new though smaller band of Freshmen who cooperated with us in such a manner that we soon became “fast friends” and colleagues. When we returned the following school year we found that many familiar faces were missing from our former Freshman Class owing to new high schools being opened closer to their homes. Nevertheless, we delved into the school life with a zest and enthusiasm that was unparalleled. Many of our members were prominent in the athletic field and others contributed equally splendid- ly to various other phases of school activities. YVe felt at last that we “had arrived.” The next year we entered as Juniors. In this role we excelled as patrons of all the activities, and as real honest-to-goodness workers for our school. During the latter part of the year we gave the customary banquet for the departing Seniors and were received by them as their honorable successors. As Seniors, we were the acknowledged leaders of the school and the most influential class. How well we have fulfilled our commission is demonstrated by our excellent athletes, public speakers, musicians, etc., and our participation in all the big events of the year. And now, having completed our allotted dispensation, we desire to bid farewell to C. H. S. And as we, the class of ’27, press on to higher and better things, we will ever recall our days spent in the Alma Mater with a singular delight for we know that our affection for it will increase with the years. And last but certainly not least, we earnestly wish that it may prosper with each succeeding year. By ELIZABETH KASLER.
