Senior Class History As the High School bell rang forth its cheerful welcome on Sep- tember 6, 1920, about fifty promising Freshmen stood well fitted to strug- gle up the “tower of wisdom.” No member could foresee what the ac- complishments of this class would be, but every one at least was going to try the climbing, though there might be knocks and bumps to stand. The first stop that aided our climbing was organizing. We elected Joe Sawyer, President; Alma Baldwin, Vice-President, and Carrie Wise, Secretary and Treasurer. The days of upward striving rolled by, day after day. The star of success was beginning to shine more brightly when May , we ended our career as Freshmen. As our Sophomore year began we were confronted with still more dif- ficult problems. In due time we organized and the real work of the year began. Our social activities began with an entertainment of our class by the Freshmen at the home of Ruby Singleton. At a later date we entertained the Sen- iors at the home of Margaret Colley. Our class contributed five players to the championship team. The year passed as we mingled work with play. As commencement drew near and passed we felt worthy of the name of Juniors. On September 4, we donned the robes of stately Juniors. Our class seemed unable to accomplish the things at first which we knew we could accomplish, but as the days passed we began to see and do things in great style. In the Library drive we came out ahead of all the others. We were also victorious in the sale of Christmas Seals. Many other things were accomplished during the remaining part of the year, among them our class being the first to hand in the Annual material. We had many delightful social affairs also. The 20th of October, Troy Normal played football here and we entertained the two teams at a very successful ban- quet that night. Before the year closed we entertained both the Seniors and the Sophomores. As our Junior year was most successful we natur- ally expected our Senior year to be more so. On September 3, 1923, we began our career as Seniors with great vi- vacity and “pep.” We were now nearing the goal which we had been work- ing to for the last three years. We contributed several players to a championship football team. Every Senior is looking forward to gradu- ating day with great enthusiasm and it is hoped that no one will be left behind. After this date we will launch into the world, each to pursue his own work. Whether we shall be in the sunshine of prosperity or the shadows of adversity, we will always hold as most sacred our associations of the C. C. H. S. —MACK SAWYER.

Senior Class Prophecy It was in the glowing twilight of an Indian Summer evening after the duties of another day when I strolled down to the lake and loosed the little canoe from its mooring. I seated myself comfortably and glided noiselessly with the gentle breezes for an hour or more around the lake. The aumun foliage grew in profusion and the leaves blown by the wind drift- ed past me. As each leaf came I gazed in awe and wonder for therein I beheld the future of each Senior of ’24. The great world metropolis comes into view and I see Jim Gunter operating a beauty parlor for the Jellie Beans—Altus Beckham is the cus- tomer. As the next leaf comes I see Mildred Byrd, social leader of the “400” of New York. C. B. Murdock is receiving congratulations on winning the cross coun- try aviator’s race. We fancy C. B. has changed somewhat since school days. Corinne Speigner, wife of a naval officer Lehman Griffin, is social leader in sea coast towns. Next Margaret Colley is giving her special dance in the Auderle Fol- lies. A Redpath Chautauqua Program comes in view and I see that some of the best numbers are to be given by Vyrdie Martin, Reader; Edna Alexander, Soloist; Harry McIntosh and Willie Condrey, Impersonators. Nealon Rainey, Fannie Bell Watkins, Annie L. Feagin and Lola Mae Jones are teachers in the McTyere School for Girls in Shanghai, China. Boyd Beall is now President of the Newton College. We know Boyd is satisfied because he was fond of Newton in High School. Next comes a vision of trees. Eunie Moore is standing in the midst of these. She is proud owner of the largest pecan orchard in the world. Rebecca Simmons, the famous architect of Alabama, is designing a summer home for John D. Rockefeller. Frances Goff, a famous violinist, is now playing for Edison records; she has also appeared in Grand Opera. Fred Baker is electioneering for Mack Sawyer as candidate for next President of the United States. James Little, I see, is just landing at Liverpool, where he goes as United States Ambassador to England. Lorene Ellis, Xenea Ellis, Virginia Cooke, Emma Ruth Mount are incorporated in the famous all-American Beauty Parlor, located in Boston.
