'56 Though the largest class to ever enter the hallowed halls of C.B.H.S. (on our knees, of course), we were anxious to observe all traditions with proper respect. However, for such crimes as improper wearing apparel (girls: green shirts, men s trousers, old hats tied with green ribbons, sunglasses, one high heeled shoe and one overshoe—boys: shirts and ties backwards, knee-length trousers, nylon stocking caps and overshoes), we were subpoenaed before a kangaroo court. Though our defending attorney fought valiantly to defend us, most of us were found guilty of offending the sophomores during our week's probation. After we had served our sentences, we were paroled to a dance. Our president, Jack; vice president, Dick S.; secretary-treasurer, Barb, and reporter, Gretch, led us in preparations for a return dance the following week. Highlights of our first year included President Truman's stop here; the choir's concert for the state legislature and being invited to Belgium; the divi- sional track meet here. Gretchen won over Barb for Student Body Secretary in the spring. Robert and Ronnie C. won their letters. We chose Jim, Ronnie C., Darlene and Geraldine to head us as we pre- pared the biggest project of our sophomore year: (chuckle! chuckle!) initiation of a new crop of green frosh. Memorable events of this year included the first Homecoming celebration following a 0-0 tie with Shelby; Sergeant Ballard's supervision of choir record- ings; new band uniforms. A very popular member of our class, Marie Berezay, left us after her marriage; other members of our class transferred and some new classmates were gained. The loss of Reba Jo in an auto accident was a great shock to us all. Three of our class ran in Student Body elections; Jim was victorious over Dick S. for vice president and Barb beat Floyd Thomas for treasurer. New lettermen included Dick S., Dick M., Lee and Allen. Determining to prove our might as upperclassmen, we chose Rod, Darlene, Gretch and Juletta as our officers. Under a new principal, we began a most successful year in which our play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, raised a new high profit of over $530 and our prom, Japanese Sandman, was one (23)

of the most beautiful transformations of the gym. To prove our superiority, both boys' and girls' basketball teams won the interclass tourneys. Among class members who brought special fame to our class were cheer- leaders Barb and Gretch; Youth Club president, Jim; Boys Nation delegate, Dick M.; Boys Staters, Dick M., Dick S., Jim, Tim and Tom More; also, two delegates who didn't make it because of a mixup, Doug and Harv; and the Girls Staters, Sharon and Kay. Lettermen also included Don Hughes, Quentin, Joe Mercer, Harold, Ty and Richard. oj the Calais oj ’56 Jim and Darlene were successful candidates over Dick S. and Carole in seeking the Student Council presidency and treasurership. Remember the war of the beards that year; the Vagabond's jam sessions; working as assistants on the Live Wire; the organization of the trio, triple trio and the octette; the costuming for the play; our pride in our shiny new class rings; the junior birdman song and THAT slumber (?) party? To climax these four fabulously fun-filled years, we became seniors! That is, most of us did; some of the original members of our class are conspicuous by their absence and we have added a few; but here we are. Two Dicks, Schwingel and McRae, and Laura Mae and Marilyn led us this year. Our activities have been many; we broke our own record, adding over $600 to our treasury with Father Was a Housewife;41 our Live Wire editor, Ted, and his staff put out a twice-monthly newspaper; our Homecoming float won the prize for a 100 percent record, now that we've won it both years that the parade has been held; our Homecoming royalty were Marilyn and Tom; Mar- lene and Dennis reigned over our fluffy-skied setting for Sleighride;44 we beat Shelby by one point in four seconds to send us to State at Whitefish from which we brought back the fourth place trophy. Under the direction of editor, Dick McRae, and the staff, this 1956 WOLF has been planned with the hope that each page will recall a memory of the last C.B.H.S. days of the class of 1956. By these signs shall ye remember us: The pink carnation. Nothing is impossible to him who tries 4 (24) Pink and silver.
