COMING Sophomores Passing in Review Class Officers JIMMY CRYDER, President. MACK WATTS, Vice Presideyit. MILDRED ALDRIGE, Secretary-T reasurer. No, don't tell me, let me guess. Surely, they're not Sophomores. Well! Can you imagine that? It seems just like yesterday when they first entered school. I see they have chosen to represent them in Student Council—Pearl Allen, Jean Brown, George Allton, and Douglas Talbot. In band there are some very talented members of the Class of 42. It in eludes Edwin Pitcock, T. J. France, Ormond Alwinc, Jane Peart, Jean Swingle, Helen Hull, Robert Ater, and Robert Fleming. Yes, they are on their way to success, so don't be surprised if in the future you see their names go up in lights. Nearly all girls belong to the Junior Girl Reserves, F. H. A., or Sokol. The Class of '42 placed several players on the football team, an outstand-ing one is Emmett Watts, who is building quite a reputation for himself. They tell me his first words were pig skin. On the varsity team in basketball there are two very good players, Bob Wilson and Carl Poling. It is rumored around school that Carl can learn more in English class if he sits with his book closed. Also on the Reserve team they have placed Snake Wilson, Mack Watts, Doug' las Talbot, Emmet Watts, and Everett Scmon. Helen Hull is disgusted with herself because she falls down steps just when she wants to be graceful, but cheer up, Helen, you're the girl's champion foul shooter of C. H. S., and believe me, that's something. The class gets lots of laughs over Bob Wilson and Wayne Brown, who seem to want to attract attention by walking in late nearly every morning, but Old Man Detention has the last laugh for both boys are ninth period regulars. An outstanding discovery of the year is the Sophomore Class' own Mickey Rooney; you know who I mean Gene Bowers, of course. Not only is he talented, which was shown in the Sophomore play, Not Quite Such a Goose, but he has dimples, too, which makes him especially popular with the girls. 1 know the teachers think they don't study enough, but they're having fun, and after all they're only young once. Freshmen Announce Leading Characters Class Officers HERMAN STURGILL, President. HELEN BENNETT, Vice President. MARY JANE BAILEY, Secretary reasurer. Well! Well! What have we here? Why it's our little Freshmen. But this year's activities have proved that although they are small in stature they are just bubbling over with school spirit. If you look behind the big horn in our band you will find Albert Weesc. Near Albert, with her baritone, sits Hilda Cope; in the clarinet section we are well represented by Ruth McMillan, Marilyn Love and Jane Lee Hoops. Adjacent is Barbara Cannon with her cornet. We entertained our upper classmen with an old fashioned barn dance for our assembly. The laughs came when Roland Gossman and M. J. Bailey did an old-fashioned hoedown. The greatest applause came when our class nightingale, Lena Poling, sang “Stay in My Arms, Cinderella. Six of our most popular girl athletes arc in Sokol, two of whom are officers: Ella Mills, secretary; Helen Bennett, treasurer. Our “Dillar a Dollar, a 10 o'clock scholar” is Harry Maxwell (or maybe it's 9 o'clock; anyhow, it's after the tardy bell rings). Junior Denny and M. J Bailey are the freshmen gifts to football. Roland Gossman, Junior Denny, M. J. Bailey and Albert Weese are the Freshmen basketball stars. If Ralph Brown and Blaine Van Atta will quit fighting long enough we will tell of Ralph's acting. Ralph is now known as class Romeo since he starred in two plays given in English class, once opposite Norma Bradshaw and then opposite Irish-tempered Catherine Dillehay. Most of our Freshmen girls are members of Junior Girl Reserves. Ella Mills, Barbara Cannon, Teddy Luster, Herman Sturgill and Albert Weese are our capable representatives to Student Council. We, the Freshmen, think that ‘with Freshmen like us the future of C. H. S. is assured.

ATTRACTIONS Junior Personality Parade As you have probably noticed there has been an increase in the pages allotted to the Juniors in this year's Crux-Hi-Skan. This increase is due mainly to the increased efforts of the Junior Class in the assisting of this year's production. This year the Juniors surpassed even the Seniors in the sale of annuals and the Seniors in honoring the Juniors for this splendid co-operation gave them a party at which June Dillehay received a crown, a corsage, and other honors as having sold the most annuals. In order to use the pages given them, the class decided to elect outstanding personalities. This is the first time in the history of the Crux-Hi-Skan that the Juniors have had a personality page of their own. Among those elected were the most likely to succeed, most talented, the primping girl, the habitually tardy boy, the biggest liar, the class artist, and the most clever. The future looks bright for Verda Belle and Bob, most likely to succeed. (Verda Belle Green and Bob Cope). Talent belongs to Margene. (Margene Horne). Rosabelle's two most valued possessions in hand. (Rosabelle Shrewsberry). “I'm coming, Miss Galloway; don't count me absent. (Jack Rinehart). We crown June for her sales talk; she sold 19 annuals. (June Dillehay). “Porky,” as usual, is exaggerating his point. (Bob Bauman). We treasure Audrey with her artistic drawings. (Audrey Bennett). “Clever in everything they do describes June and Paddy. (June Dillehay and Paddy Hannum).
