1 — C. H. S. Class Hiffory W |E HAVE come a long way since i that September day in ’33, when as green freshmen we entered nigh school; so let’s turn our eyes backward. Everything was new to us ; there were four new teachers in school (Miss McNeil, Miss Baggett, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Shotwell) a new cafeteria, and a new Glee Club. We were a rowdy, impulsive, dumb group of “freshies,” thrilled at the thought of what lay ahead; but Mr. Shotwell, our sponsor, scon put a damper on us by passing out six detention hall slips the very first day. The hang out and most popular places for many of the members of this class, to be sure, was the office and a short vacation at home. Nevertheless, we came through all right with less than a few quality credits, much knowl- edge of the world, and many in bliss of puppy love (ask Fleety and Fax). First floor, Rooms 9 and 4, (Mrs. Hud- son and Mr. Jefferson presiding), were assigned to all freshies lucky enough to pet there, and ones who were un- fortunate enough not to go further up the hall. We had great fun that year: first taste of club activity and a greater interest in “Big Jeff’s” T room. (’Mem- ber how we girls in the back used to blush at “Jeff” and those “big boys” in the corner?) Block tickets came in for the first time and we had a Hi-Y Conference here that year; both were grand successes. That year La Rue and Fant were most dreamy of couples. Then to the Junior Room. Oh, how important we felt ! For many it was the first time to have a woman sponsor of our class. Miss Winn almost turned us into dignified ladies and gen- tlemen that year. Club activities be- came even more interesting and “Camp- bell Soup” became a favorite dish of all girls. John Thrift made a fine class president and under his supervision we entertained the Seniors at a fine party. Subjects were more difficult, as we ran into geometry for the first time, and for many it proved a blank wall. There were lots of love affairs blossoming in the Junior Room last year. Remember Fant and Lorraine, Johnny and Fran- ces? Seniors! To the goal we had come! How big we felt, how dignified we tried to be! “Hayseed” was again the class president. And what exciting times we had under his leadership. Mr. Wright and Mr. Hudgins were the only new teachers, and of course, Mrs. Reams was our sponsor. Gee! it was a busy year with the selection of rings, invitations, caps and gowns, and our play, “For Pete’s Sake!” and trying to keep up with Jimmy and Virginia. It was one of the school’s largest gradu- ating classes and everybody had a full year of fun and hard work. And then with a tear in one eye and a smile in the other, we bid adieu to our faculty and underclassmen. PATSY BERRY. 19
