FOSTER Jackson, Missouri Caruthcrsville, Missouri Basketball La Societe Francaise Basketball Football THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class has clearly demonstrated its earnestness of purpose, its many talents, and its spirit of cooperation—and all with- out the salutary disciplining which a freshman class usually receives from the class which just preceded it, without the spur to effort which the achievements of the upper classmen and former students give, without the inspiration to be derived from long-established traditions and ideals of conduct. It has appreciated the steepness of the ascent from high school to college. It has given abundant evidence of the variety of its talents—on the athletic field, in the classroom, on the stage, and in the executive council. Being the first freshman class of the College, it has known unusual responsibilities and has borne them creditably. Yet from this very circumstance of having participat- ed in the launching of this institution, the Freshman class derives a particular lustre. In years to come, it will know the satisfaction felt by only a charter member of a flourishing organization, a satisfaction in this case especially full by reason of the ideal ends for which this institution exists.

We were probably as green as most “freshies”, but we’d never have admitted it. When we returned to school the next year as Sophomores, we had lost several of our members, four of our girls through matrimony. During this year we struggled through Caesar and World History, and we worked so well that we arrived safely in our Junior year. We’ll always remember our Junior year because we worked so hard in order to give the Seniors of ’28 a banquet. Our reward for our untiring efforts was, “You’ll be Seniors next year”. The Seniors of ’29 are forty-four. We joyfully, yet somewhat re- gretfully, approach our goal. The' members of the Senior class have always taken a part in school activities. Both boys and girls have participated in high school activities. We had seven boys on the high school football team of ’28-’29 and five boys on the basketball team. The Senior Boys’ Basketball team has won the Inter-class tournament for the past two years. Some of our boys and girls have represented the school in music and declama- tion. During our four years in C. H. S. we have worked and gained knowledge and experience which will help us over the stumbling blocks of the future. We have overcome our difficulties by courage and determination. We have finished the voyage of High School, but we shall carry memories of dear old C. H. S. through our real voyage of life.
