Seniors if . - ir I-1 St 'QQ iC3x,.Eg,:arfN- , usd' E IANIE cnltes One most vivid memory of every departing Senior will be of Miss Janie Chiles and her keyring and check book. Having handled the financial part of all school activities for many years, she has made many games and plays possible which otherwise we could i not have had. She seems to possess the superhuman ability to stretch dollars. Any student who has ever had the privilege of being lviiss Chiles' pupil will answer that in her mathematics classes acquisition of knowledge and enjoyment are combined. As a Senior sponsor, all those who have not been taught by her have learned to love her for her kindness and willingness to help. An inseparable association is r Williani Chrisrnan and Niiss Chiles. A ' ctz-iss HISTORY The fall of 1926 found a bunch of green bewildered Sophornores straying through the halls of Chrisman, stumbling through the high school song and yell in assembly, and timidly making acquaintances among the teachers. We started work in a businessway by electing john Shawhan president of our class, and Mrs. Krumbach and Mr. Endicott sponsors. We began our social life by entertaining ourselves at a Hallowe'en party in the Studyl'iall,which set our standard ofsuccess for ensuing activities. ' After recovering from the thrill of St. Nicks' visit, we again assumed a serious mien, and began a very successful second semesterlunder the guidance of Merrell Pratt as president. ' Our outstandin g accomplishment was to beat the Seniors in a ticket selling contest, and as a reward usurped their seat in assembly for two weeks. Thus ended a prosperous year for the Sophomores, and we felt that after a year in Chrisman our brilliant hues had become vastly subdued.

Seniors 5- E' stts M- a-. Lilo S-1 EN 'QED QCEAHN Ukfu BLEVINS DAVIS Could anyone ever forget lVIr. Davis and his versatility and cleverness? Besides his work as a teacher he has been an untiring promoter of every school activity. As one of the Senior sponsors, he helped to make the class and its undertakings suc- cessful. I-Ie has assisted in every production sponf sored by other departments and has worked hard in behalf of the Oleam Stafl. As a teacher, his Sophof more, Junior, and Senior English classes are testi.- monies of his ability. Altho his students sometimes stagger under the weight of required notebooks, they unanimously agree that Mr, Davis is a fine teacherf, For the juniors and Sophomores there is another year or two of association with him. CLASS HISTORY VJ hen the school year again rolled around, we had thrown aside our childish Ways, and became the all-important juniors. We began our busy year by electing Ivlargaret Williainson to the chair, and Miss I-Ieidelberger and Miss Witt as sponsors. Vv'e immediately made ourselves felt by both selling and buying enough bi-monthly subscriptions to save the Crleam from utter ruin. We then proceeded to win the interclass ticket-selling contest. The second half opened with the election of Cassell Barrett as president, and the ensuing semester was the most successful ever experienced by our class. The annual junior play, Turn to the Right , proved to be one ofthe best presented in Chrisman. The climax of the year came with the juniorfSenior reception, which was commonly acclaimed to have been the best reception in the history of Chrisman. As Seniors, our accomplishments are recorded elsewhere in this book. SENIOR CLI-XSS OFFICERS -ai Second Semester , PRESIDENT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ..... R OBERT ALEXANDER VICE PRESIDENT ...... .....lc..
