QR 'ff lm I ' l 'I 5' sg' E hey f-67l7'- LADIES AND GENTLE ME ! eqg-2450.9-f i JN this 1951 Gargoyle, we, the Seniors of C.C.S., come before you as the stars of our three ring circus. The years of our connections with C.C.S., have been memorable ones for us although they have often proved very trying for the trainer. Many of us have spent all of our twelve years of training in the new building. Throughout the elementary grades, we were closely associated with the elementary trainers, occupying the small- est of the three rings when we weren't peeking under the sides of the other tents. We happily reached the half-way mark in June, 1947, when we graduated from the eighth grade, unaware of the difficult tasks that lay ahead. Joyously, we took over the third floor of C. C. S. in September, 1947, with hardly a care in the world. Finding it very difficult to settle down to the routine of homework--and still more homework- -we nearly drove the trainers frantic. Our time was divided between the two remaining rings--curricular and extracurricular activities. The year passed quickly and before we knew it a new season was upon us. The Sophomore year flew by more quickly for we were a trifle more experienced and had begun to fit into the pattern of school life, thus making the trainers' tasks much easier. In September 1949, we marched down the halls of C.C.S. with a little more dignity, for now we were upperclassmen. Anxiously, we waited for the first of February when we would take over the task of raising funds for the Washington trip. The Junior play, Life with Father, the Centennial Ball, and the Junior-Senior Banquet, our first money-raising activities, were all very successful. Having struggled through the regents examinations, we breathed a sigh of relief. We were Seniors at last! ln the three rings of our circus, we have gained an excellent education not only from our books but also from our contact with many people in extracurricular activities. September, 1950, found thirty-five ambitious Seniors roaming the halls of C.C.S. and the streets of Cuba selling candy, wrapping paper, and Christmas Cards. We chose for our guiding officials President, Benny Smith, Vice-President, John Shelleyg Secre- tary, Mary Fodorg and Treasurer, Audrey Beebe. The Senior play, Dear Ruth, and the Christmas Ball proved quite successful, adding to the in- creasing treasury. Before we knew it, February first was upon us and, reluctantly, we let the Juniors take over these money-raising-activities. The time passed rapidly and on April ninth we embarked on our long awaited Washington trip. Having recovered from the wonderful trip, we participated in the Junior-Senior Banquet in May, and then, before we knew it, graduation was upon us. Throughout this book, we have compared our school life to a circus, but it has also had its serious moments and this was one of them. Never before had we realized how much our school meant to us until we were to leave, many of us never to come back. As skilled performers, the stars of the show, we shall always remember our first performance at C.C.S. as we now take our places for the opening of the final act, the performance of our lives. We wish to pay tribute to Mrs. Brown and Miss Crawford, our class advisors, and to Mr. Knowles, our yearbook advisor, for having helped make our high school years ones we shall never forget. Z0
