SENIOR CLASS HISTORY There comes a time in every person's life when he must meet his doom-so it was on August 23, 1939, for the entering freshmen. For about two weeks the school building seemed as large as Madison Square Garden. The second week we were greeted with fancy belts and H20 by our senior friends introducing themselves-their way. But soon, endurance changed to contentment and we were on the long road to a happy career. At the beginning of our second year, we were aware of the fact that we were no longer beginners. Of course, some of the teachers were new, but we liked them, too. Our class was very unfortunate in having the smallest enrollmentg therefore, we had to work especially hard to raise funds for the class treasury. There was no lack of enter- tainment as We had several parties. At the close of the term everyone was glad to know that he would soon become a jolly junior. During our junior year we found that the war had deprived us of many of our privileges. We sacrificed our play and almost all of our parties. Because of our small class we had to work very hard to sup- ply sufficient funds for our class treasury, but we did have a very suc- cessful banquet. When it came time for the last semester tests, We went through' tihem like an American plane goes through Tokyo. We were now confronted by the fact that our one desire would be fulfilled -we are seniors. Our last year found the class drizzled down to twenty-one mem- bers. Most of us had spent four years together. Uncle Sam is now bidding for some of our classmates, and we know that soon we may be scattered around the world. We seniors have won honors elsewhere, but no honor is commensurate with that of graduating from good old C. C. H. S. Reminiscing the past four years we find many persons who have cooperated with us to help us attain high standards of Americanism. We, the Seniors of '43, are grateful to each individual who has helped maintain these standards, and we are always willing to exemplify them.
