ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER GRADUATION, only this year it's something pretty special. It seems only yesterday that we, the Seniors of 1954, entered the halls of CHS to witness and be a part of one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From the elementary grades to Junior High School was quite o chonge, but an exciting one. We learned the school song, the creed, the ways of CHS, and also how to find our way around in the new building. Our Freshman year was rather a dividing line between Junior high and high school, but we be- came full fledged high school students in our Soph- omore yeor. For the girls, there was the Tigerette pep club, and several social organizations. Proc- ticolly all the boys played a vital part in some sport or activity. Almost everyone will remember the Sopho- more party os the first in quite a number of years. Of course, there was a little hard studying once in awhile, but we all made the grade. When we had earned the coveted title of Juniors, we looked forward to the junior play, the junior picnic, and the main event of every year, the Junior-Senior banquet. Now we ore sophisticated Seniors, proud to wear the closs ring and proud of the mony accom- plishments we have attained during 1953-54. The thrill of exchanging closs pictures, attending elab- orate banquets, and most of all, our Senior trip have helped to complete a wonderful year A large portion of the credit for the success of our Senior year goes to our class officers, Jo Copple, President, Johnny Hilyard, Vice President; ond Elaine Bottomley, Sec.-Treos , ond our sponsors, Mrs. Rainwater, Miss Clark, Mr Pote, ond Miss Johnson. After graduation we will all go our separate ways to strive to gain higher education, but we will always look back and remember the days spent in CHS and the traditional school colors, orange and black.
