.X l R C200 13. 8,0 Z9 FLASH! lr. and Hrs. Cunningham let's go to press!!! Another group of C.H.S. students joined the alumni. There are fourteen survivors of the four years. This group started with fourteen members, did some exchanging, and came out with fourteen members. This group was as green as any group of freshmen. They were always late to assemblies and forgetting which class is next, just little things you can tell freshmen by. They managed to slip through their two hardest assignments--initation and assembly. Though it was rough going with the aid of their sponsor, Kiss Chamberlain, they all passed on to the sophomore year. lhen time came for the next year all the sophomores had attained the feeling of superiority as there was a class below th m. That year the sophomores settled down and started getting into activities and did a fair job of it. The sophomores started looking forward to the senior year and thought it to be a long stretch for them into the future. They ended the sophomore year as full-fledged students of C.H.S.--always trying to get out of class. The next year they became juniors. This year proved to be a big year for that group of students. The first big activity was the play, Too Sweet for Sixteen. The remainder of the year was spent trying to raise enough money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. They sold pennants, pencils, stickers, stationary, emblems, refreshments at the basketball games and just about everything they could. By the time the banquet was over, they were ready to find new ways to earn money. The closing of their junior year was somewhat like the senior year. They began earning money, or rather trying to, for their trip, by any means they could find. Selling vanilla, mcttces, Christmas cards, dresses, trees and they spent the Thanksgiving vacation selling magazines for the Curtis Company. They practically had eve yone in Cunningham soared to open their front or back door. It was about this time that a great disaster occurred to the Senior Class. Their sponsor, Hrs. Dyck, became ill and had to give up teaching. After she left, they had a great responsibility lying on their shoulders. Industriously they started working on the yearbook. Everyone had his own job, but before the year was over, they were all working on the same thing. As the spring was nearing they found themselves busy with the last of school activities--cramming for tests, Baccalaureate, tests, class night, tests, C mencement, of course, everybody passed. The next week following school was spent in Colorado. A tired group of alumni students just walked into the studio and since time is drawing to a close, I will sign off for now. This program was brought to you through the courtesy of the Senior Class of 1948 and will again be heard oa this station next year at this same time. ,fa W f built
