HISTORY And it came to pass in the year 1933 that a group of beys and girls began a jour- ney that was to culminate on the night of May 21, when high school diplomas were to be awarded to the senior class of 1945, at Calhoun County High School. We, the senior class of 1945, entered school at Eulaton, Mechanicsville, Friendship, Coldwater, DeArmanville, and Oxford. Only a few of us entered school together. Our grammar school days ended almost before we were aware they had begun. We were looking forward to September when we would be members of the high school student body. Finally it did come—our advent into high school. We soon learned to love it as we did cur former schools. Although our junior high school years were uneventful, we were promoted to senior high school, where our days have been crowded with activi- ties—the junior-senior banquet and dance, the junior play, the senior class party, the senior play, autobiographies, blue Mondays, kid day, term papers, and graduation! During cur Senior I year, the Victory Corps, under the direction of our principal, Mr. H. T. Stanford, was organized. The senior basketball team was highly recognized, as the team played in the Sixth District Tournament and won second place. They also played in the State Tournament at the University of Alabama. The wheels of aestiny took us one step farther, and we entered our Senior II year with as much enthusiasm as we had the year before. The most important event of our junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. Another highlight of our junior year was the Junior Play Johnny, Get Your Girl presented under the direction of Miss Mae Dell Sentell. This, our senior year, has been packed with activities that only a high school senior can experience. Our class is smaller because several of our boys are now in the Armed Forces. One of the highlights of our senior year was the Senior Play, Let Us Be Glam- orous, directed by Mrs. Irene Waters Gancel. Another highlight of the year was Kid day when the seniors enjoyed dressing again like kids. Some of the memories of this year are our senior class party,- Good Citizenship Girl Jane Williams,- the good record our basketball and football teams made; and most of all our excitement over prepa- ration for Commencement day. Now 'hat we have reached the height of our high school career, and the time has come for us to part, we bid farewell to our superintendent, faculty, and fellow class- mates, and to the C. C. H. S. where we spent our most enjoyable and glorious years together. FRANCES HOLLAND, Class Historian.
