15' CLASS POEM GRADUATION n- Yes, l guess it's true That graduation is here for us fewg Four long years we've trod this path, Sometimes happy, sometimes with wrath. Let us recall the years gone hy, VVhen it was hard, we said, l'll try, Then we accomplished a thing or two Until we thought we knew. Freshmen-the goal-so far away, Sophomores-no, not yet today, Juniors! oh, it's drawing near, Seniors--only one more year. Now we stand clad in cap and gown, Feeling as if we own the town, Vl'ith our hand almost on the coveted reward, Vl'e are about ready to start abroad. Now it's time we bid adieu To Senior class and each of you, There's nothing more to say, unless It is farewell to C. H. S. ' -HILDA COMPTON.

CLASS H I STORY lg Way back in 1937 we seniors of today en- tered High School in that lowly estate occupied by Freshmen. Because our class was so large, we were divided into three rooms, under Mr. VVright, Mr. Shotwell, and Miss Gentile. Vile soon learned our way around and having organized with George as our President, began to feel extremely important. Our first social event was a picnic given by the Seniors. That was the year in which the Student Government was organized, Orchids for Marie won the play contest in Orange, and the Glee Club for the first time, participated in the Music Festival at Richmond. Ours was the first Freshman class to have individual pictures in the COLONNADE. lt was a full and pleasant year and we acquired an increased knowledge of puppy love, Algebra, and things in general. By the time we entered our second year, we had calmed down a little and begun to take a larger part in extra-curricular activities. That was a big year in the annals of our progress through High School. The football team won the Class C championship of Eastern Virginia, and the track team took first place at the meet at Charlottesville. The representatives that attended the Hi-Y ' conference at VVarrenton reported a huge success, as did. the Glee Club, which received the rating of excellent at the Music Fes- tival. So ended another year. For most of us, high school was now half over and our goal was drawing ever nearer. Vile worked hard that year under our president, Snort Huffman, and gave the Seniors a banquet that we will not soon forget. Mr. Caldwell became a welcomed member of our faculty and soon proved his ability by the expert sponsoring of several organizations. C. H. S. entertained the delegates from the District Hi-Y Clubs with a conference which was entertaining, as well as instructive. Thus, in spite of our trials and tribulations, we managed to sail through our junior Room. Seniors at last! Nevertheless, for all our importance, we were at heart still the impress- ionable Freshmen of '37 with maybe a little more serious attitude. VVe were immediately organized with George again our president and the capable hand of Miss Wiiin to guide us. Settling down to a year of work, we began by giving the Freshmen a picnic. The Foot- ball team, under Mr. Null, was runner-up for the state championship and the commercial course was installed. VVhat fun we had selecting our rings and how anxiously did we await their arrival! The invitations were finally selected, the Senior play given and the COLONNADE published. Now with Graduation drawing near, we want to say Adieu to our classmates, friends, and facility with a smile, maybe a tear, and a sincere Godspeed L. GRIFFEN. C. THOLIAS.
