Senior Class
Lucile Adams
“Seal”
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-'22; Joke Editor The Mirror, '22.
She is loved, lovable and loving.
Lucile joined us in the first year high, and she soon won the favor of all her companions by her disposition. She is a hard worker and has made a wonderful record in her work. She goes to Virginia Intermont, where we hope for her as brilliant a future as past.
Elvin Adams
"Sleepy”
Pershing Literary Society, '21-'22.
"All things come to him, therefore Tvhy should I hurry ? ”
Slow but sure, having gotten to school only two mornings on time in his life. But Elvin is a good old scout, a true friend, so his good qualities overbalance his faults.
Annie Laura Brame
“Annie"
Pershing Literary Society, '21-’22; Basketball, '20 -’21 -22.
“What is there to say about Annie.3 Words fail me; isn’t that enough?”
As a forward on our team, Annie has made a record for herself in this section of Virginia, besides helping to win many victories for the C. C. H. S. team. She is a true sport and knows how to enjoy life. The best that we can hope for her is that her aim will be as high and as true as her basketball record.

Senior Class
Lorena Bryant
“Bo”
President Class, ’19-'20; Vice-President Class, ’21; Pershing Literary Society, ’21 -’22.
“Sober, quiet, pensive and demure,
One of those friends of whom you are always sure.”
And indeed, that describes one side of Lorena s nature well. But it must also be said that she is one of the most conscientious and gifted members of the Class of 22. To all her other virtues add a goodly amount of class spirit, which she possesses, and what greater praise can we give her? All of us admire and respect her, and will always be glad to remember her as our classmate.
Monroe Bowers
“Monny"
Vice-President Class, ’19; Pershing Literary Society, ’21- ’22; Baseball, 18.
“Let there be no obstacles before the goal we hope to reach. ’
Well, here’s Monny, one of our original bunch. By his persistence and hard study of his lessons he has always stood with the leaders of the class. His forte is English, in which he alway comes our first. "Watch Monny go, he 11 make good all right.
Lila Dedmon
“Lily”
Pershing Literary Society, 21-22; Vice-President Class, '22; Basketball, ’22; Society Editor Annual.
A girl of true worth, with sunny smile, great heart.
Accomplishing the task she undertakes.
Lila, more affectionately known as Lily, with her ready smile and winning ways, has won for herself quite a host of friends among her classmates and among the whole school. She has made a splendid record in her classes and especially in Math. Lila is no grind, however, but a good, all-around sport, and gives her opponent plenty to do on the basketball court. Here’s wishing her the best of luck all through life.
Page twelve
Senior Class
Abbye May Edwards
“Ab”
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22; Basketball, 20-*21. And w/ip should life all labor be, live while you live.
She is enthusiastic and has a bright smile for everyone. Her happiness is almost contagious, and where Abbye is there is plenty of fun. She works and is always ready to answer. Teachers as well as pupils find in her the willing helpfulness on which we all can depend.
J. Watkins Goode, Jr.
“Dick”
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22; Baseball, ’19-’20-’21- ’22; Basketball, ’20-’21-’22; Schemer Mystery Club, ’21- ’22; Vice-President Athletic Association, ’21 ; President Athletic Association, ’22; Athletic Editor Mirror, ’22; Captain Baseball, ’22.
“FT/iate’re there be of sorrow, I'll put off till tomorrow." *
Dick is an original member of the class. All through school he has made good marks, both in his books and on the athletic field. He is a noted heart-breaker, having many to his credit. We do not know what he intends to do for his life's work after he finishes at Hampden-Sydney, but we feel sure that he will make a success. So luck to you, Dickie Boy.
Agnes Gregory
“Ag“
Pershing Literary Society, ’21 ; President Literary Society, ’22; Basketball, ’20-’21-’22; Captain Basketball, ’22; Associate Editor Annual, ’22; Secretary-Treasurer Athletic Association, ’22; Reading Contest at Charlottesville, ’20-’21- ’22.
Brilliance and fun in "Ag" combine
To make a school girl superfine;
Ready for worry, ready for play,
All through school she's been that way.
“Ag” has, during her four years in C. C. H. S., proved herself to be a true sport and a general favorite. This remains undisputed—when she was elected the most popular girl. She is a girl of much determination and of her own convictions. These qualities, with her high standing in scholarship, only add to her real worth.

Senior Class
Violet Hester
“Vi”
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22; Basketball, 20, 22.
“Vi” came into our class from S. F. I. and soon not only won over the hearts of many girls, but boys also. She has for two years been a star on the girls’ basketball team. She is merry and full of life, always ready for a good time. She goes from us to Virginia Intermont, and we think she will make the school proud to acknowledge her as one of their number.
Raymond W. Geoghegan
“Ray”
Poe Literary Society, ’21 ; Vice-President Pershing Literary Society, ’22; Secretary and Treasurer Mystery Club, '21-’22; Business Manager “Mirror,’ 22.
“They always talk who never think-”
Happy-go-lucky, irresponsible on the surface, big hearted, willing and dependable underneath, this is Raymond. He is some ladies man, always wearing that dog-gawn grin of his and always ready to tell a joke. We hope he will be able to laugh himself all the way through the world. Through his efforts the Mirror owes much for its financial success.
Rose Jackson
“Roses"
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-*22; Basketball Squad, 22. “That her heart thinks, her tongue speaks.”
“Roses” has talked herself through school. To everyone she meets she always relates something funny. She holds our class record of having run to school more than anybody else. “Roses” not only knows how to joke, but, better still, knows how to take one. She’s a jolly good sport and a real friend. Here’s to her, may she succeed!
Page fourteen
Senior Class
Helen Moss
“Hel”
Pershing Literary Society, '21-’22; Art Editor Annual, ’22. “She has many nameless virtues."
The casual observer might call Helen a very quiet, dignified girl, but to know her well is to change one’s mind completely. Her friends know her to be full to the brim of life and fun. To turn to the things that really count in high school life, she gets along well with all of her lessons, plays basketball and has a poetical ability that is by no means insignificant. She is eminently practical too, and with a lovable companion.
Rufus Maddux
“Pete”
President Class, ’21, ’22; Secretary-Treasurer Class, '20; Editor-in-Chief Annual, '22; Baseball, ’19-’20-’21-’22; Basketball, ’20-’21-’22; Vice-President Mystery Club, '21- '22; Pershing Literary Society, '21-'22; Captain Basket ball, '22; Oratorical Contest at Charlottesville, '22.
“Titles of honor add not to his Worth, who is himself an honor to his titles."
This is our Senior president. We are proud of him for his school spirit and for the splendid stand he has taken in his classes. Whether it is a basketball or a baseball star we are seeking, or a speech to be made, or the hero’s part in the school play to be taken, we can always count on “Pete.
He is editor-in-chief of The Mirror, and whatever it reflects may be attributed to him. He is not only a good sport, but one of the most brilliant students in our school. His high marks have always been an incentive to the other members of the class. He goes from us to Washington and Lee, and if he makes as good a record there as he has here we feel sure that his college life will be a glorious success.
Nellie Moore
“Nell”
Pershing Literary Society, '21-’22.
“Ye gods, end this high school life
And malfe two lovers happy! ’
Nellie continually reminds us that “great things come in small packages.” She is ladylike and thoroughly in ear nest about all her school work. She has many friends throughout the entire school and we feel sure that her life at Farmville will be just as successful as her stay at C. C. H. S. has been.
Page fifteen
Senior Class
Helen Robertson
"Hyee"
Pershing Literary Society, '21-’22.
“She's pretty/ to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, upon."
Words fail us when we try to enumerate the talents and gifts of Helen. She is the “beauty" of our class, but added to her good looks are good sense, school spirit and a lovable disposition. She is always ready for a good time, but her studies never seem to suffer from neglect. She goes from C. C. H. S. to Hollins and we feel that we are giving that school a student of which they will ever be proud.
Cooper Ponton
“Chooper"
Pershing Literary Society, ’22.
"A head to think, a heart to act and a hand to execute.”
Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce our professional class entertainer! Cooper is fond of all kinds of foolishness, and always ready to take part in any mischief that comes his way.
Linda Thomasson
“Lindy"
Pershing Literary Society, 21 -’22.
“Good humor and good sense must ever meet.
Linda is ever smiling. She has a joke to tell everyone she meets and by her lovable disposition and attractive manner has won many friends throughout the whole school. We have heard many rumors about Linda and fear that she will not be on the “single list’ long, for the twin is waiting!
Page sixteen
Senior Class
Madge Wood
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22.
“Checked for silence but never taxed for speech.”
Madge does not believe in wasting words on trivial subjects, hence her voice is seldom heard above the chatter of our lingual machinery, but some day, we feel that she will be a model housewife, for her work in the Domestic Science Department has been excellent.
Carroll Willis
“Cliff”
Pershing Literary Society, ’20-’22; Mystery Club, ’22; President Sophomore Literary Society, ’21 ; Assistant Business Manager Annual, ’22; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ’22.
“Once a friend, always a friend.”
“Cliff” just entered our class this year, though he is known to everyone of us. A good record and many friends stand behind him and we feel sure that whatever he undertakes will work out for the best. We hear he’s in love, but that’s all right—she’s a Senior He goes to Washington and Lee next year and we wish him well.
Bertie Yates
“Bert”
Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22.
”Bertie is ever faithful and true,
As fine a girl as you ever knew.”
Bertie, by her wonderful disposition, has inspired our class for the last two years. She leaves a good record, one of which anyone would be proud. We hear that she has chosen teaching for her life work. No need to fear about her, she will get along anywhere.

THE MIRROR, 1922
History of Class of 22
O reflect but a glimmer of the individual and peculiar brilliancy of the Class of *22 demands a much more polished mirror than my mind can afford, but --------- some features are too striking to be overlooked.
These, my comrades, entering C. C. H. S. in ante-bellum days, surviving during the struggle of the greatest war in history, and graduating in these reconstruction days, deserve to have fallen into the hands of a real historian.
They are of different aims and different equipments, yet by Sir Isaac Newton’s great law have been drawn together to one magnetic end, graduation with honor in the Class of ’22!
Our number is twenty-one, yet in the dim distant fall of 1911 only eight of the present class waited in the first grade to be assigned their places. As the years have passed others have been added, until the eleventh year four recruits brought our number to the present strength—the largest class in the history of C. C. H. S.
The class has achieved much, and with pride I can say that in scholarship, in athletics and literary attainments it ranks second to no other class.
There are some who may startle the world in science or mathematics, others who may become shining lights in Romance Language and some who may make new history. In athletics I feel sure there are Babe Ruths and Ty Cobbs. Who knows? I am encouraged to say this because of the wonderful records in these particular subjects in the past four years.
We have not always done our best. Who does? Yet we have tried and that thought takes away any bitterness of failure and leaves only sweet memories of the many successes we have met.
As grave and reverend seniors we leave the old high school, and we feel sure she bids us good-bye with a “sob in her voice and a tear in her eye.”
Lila Dedmon.

I've come to the Valley of Freshmen, Tall hills seem to hang over me; There are wonderful gardens about me, And paths leading upward I see. 1 am told 1 am here for a season.
My Diary
September, 1918
I am told that the lessons I master
Are stepping stones up to the height;
I must learn how to work in the valley,
1 must learn how to do with a might.
My guides are loving and faithful.
That at once 1 must start the long climb. That each task I accomplish will lead me Nearer the summits sublime.
They help over rocks every day, And show me the pitfalls and canyons, Yet, alone, I must follow the way!
By work and by following the guides I have reached the Sophomore Plain; ’Tis not far from the Valley of Freshmen And I climbed this plateau to gain. I look up, the ascent is steeper,
And no more as a child I behold The beauties of hill and valley, The riches of silver and gold.
I’m up on the Plateau of Juniors, The ascent has been long, I declare;
September, 1919
The prospect is brighter and fairer,
The top of the hill is in view,
And the lessons I learned in the valley
Inspire as my way I pursue.
My guides give strength and good courage, I fall, and I show them the scars,
They tell me 'tis only the rough ways
That will lead one up to the stars.
September, 1920
Yet the glories now spread round about me Are grander than ever 1 dreamed.
There are rough stones ahead in the pathway! But how pure and how sweet the air is! I look at the rough way behind me, How long and how tiresome it seemed.
The tasks here are heavy and harder. Yet ambition has grown in the night, And I must not slip back to the valley When I am so near to the height.
September, 1921
At last I’m in sight of the hill-top, One more victory now must be won; I must steadily climb and not falter, Each task must be worthily done. Though each step is harder and steeper New light is beginning to shine; On this the last lap of the journey The work and the climbing are fine.
June, 1922
Ah! here I stand on the hill-top,
My comrades and I look around,
The view is entrancing and lovely,
And our thoughts are deep and profound!
Our guides bid us look to the vista
Of mountains that lift to the sky;
They give hope and call this Commencement, And we listen and question why.
Page nineteen
Ah, because the fuller life beckons Beyond are the hill-tops of power. The tall peaks of fame and of glory. Where the summits of sacrifice tower. Beyond are the Gardens of Service, Where Love has nourished the sod, And we reach the field of Achievement On the top of the mountains of God. Lucile T. Adams.
/01
After graduating from college I traveled a great deal, and in all parts of the world. One night I was sitting alone, thinking over school days, and I began to wonder what had become of my high school friends, the members of the Class of ’22. I happened to be in the Far East, in Egypt, so I decided to consult that wisest of all oracles, the Sphinx.
Slipping away from my hotel in the dead of night, I plowed my way through the drifted white sand toward the grim figure in the distance. The moon overhead, almost full, shed o’er all the strange sapphire light peculiar to Oriental nights. Far to the right the pyramids appeared, a faint purplish pink, and here and. there a palm tree stood out distinctly against the luminous background.
When at last I came near, the face held a mocking expression. Strange, mystical, possessing the wisdom of the ages; its calm, penetrating, all-wise face looked straight at me, and its gaze seemed to cast a spell upon me. The mocking expression changed, and from the lips, silent for ages, came queer sounds and whisperings. Imagine my joy when I understood that the Sphinx was going to give me a glimpse of the scroll of the future!
“I care not to break my proverbial silence, but I will endow thee with the power of fore sight. Look! behold what Is to be.” Listen then, while I disclose to you those visions of that quiet, mysterious moonlight night on the desert!
My head reels, scenes chase wildly through my brain until suddenly the haze lifts,- revealing a land of cherry blossoms, where tiny almond eyed children are seated on the floor of what is evidently a mission school, busily studying under the direction of a gentle instructor, our class mate, Rose Jackson.
Next I see a prosperous ranch in Texas with herds of cattle in the fields and the proud owner standing by, who, when he turned was none other than Elvin Adams!
Now I see an immense room and row upon row of spotless white beds, each holding some unfortunate person. Here a girl groaned and the quiet nurse laid a cool, gentle hand on her head and spoke a few kind words in a voice I recognized instantly as Violet Hester’s.
Not far away a girl’s school is opening for the fall and scores of pretty girls are arriving. The old ones gathered around the adored Latin teacher, and the new ones instantly learned to love her, for the sweet winning ways of Lila Dedmon have not changed since we were in C. C. H. S. together.
An office door appears in a medical building in Chicago and I see:
B. M. BOWERS
Dentist
I learn that he has made a great success in the professional world, but then I wasn’t surprised, for we all knew that Monroe would make good.
I see now a pretty little bungalow in Los Angeles and an efficient little mistress busily getting dinner for her husband, who is successor to Rudolph Valentino in the movies. This was our tiny, dark-haired Nellie Moore.
The movie lots appeared before my eyes and imagine my surprise to see crowds gathered around watching a comedy in the making. The comedian was, of course, Raymond Geoghegan, the joker of high school days, now far more noted than Charlie Chaplin.
Soon I see an eager audience in a large opera house in New York expectantly waiting for the performer of the evening. Such applause as the small figure enters, and as the violet light
flashes on her I see Agnes Gregory, who is now a great and world-renowned singer.
Then a studio appears and on the. door in important black letters:
HELEN MOSS
Illustrator
Upon going in I find that her pal. Lorena Bry ant, stays with her. and has recently completed her sixth amazingly popular book which Helen illustrated for her.
I next see the Senate Chamber in Washington, and, lo, who should be speaking but Cooper Ponton, one of Virginia’s senators.
- In Boston I watch throngs of people crowd into the. opera house, but this time the star is a famous toe dancer, who greatly excels Pavlova, I am told. She trips daintily in, dressed to represent a butterfly, which she does strikingly, and commences one of her original dances, full of charm and grace. The performer is—yes— Abbye Edward®.
Now I seem to be in a strange land where people are gaily dressed, and dark-eyed, very fascinating. One dear familiar sight appears, our own -dear Stars and Stripes waving from a building, and upon going in I see Rufus Mad dux, the President of the Class of ’22, who is now Ambassador to Spain.
Next I see a kindergarten and a teacher sur rounded by a number of admiring tots, all trying to sit next to “Miss Brame,” and sure enough ’twas Annie Laurie, as neat and quiet as usual.
A whirring noise comes to my ear and I again am in the quiet village street and I glance up to see a hydroplane lighting in water nearby. I become one of the excited group gathering around and receive the amazing information that he is just landing from his trip around the world! As the tall aviator alights from his machine I see Carroll Willis, who, -after so many years has abandoned automobiles for something which travels faster and does not have punctures!
Suddenly tinkling music, balmy air, pale moonlight and gondolas gliding slowly up the silvery waterways and I see Lucile Adams supremely happy, here in Venice on her honeymoon.
Now a courtroom scene and J. Watkins Goode presiding over the court. I find that our old friend Dick is now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Then I enter a small, dark room with numerous telescopes sitting about and an astronomer interestedly studying the planets, whom I recognize as Bertie Yates, with the same bright smile and good disposition.
In the same town I see Linda Thomasson, the happy wife of one of the prominent men, composing popular songs which have already endeared her to the hearts of all.
Lastly I see an intensely familiar scene, our own little Chase City. But it has changed some. How much more prosperous and neat looking, and what lovely smooth streets! Upon inquiring I find that it took place under the direction of the efficient mayor. Asking for an introduction to this acknowledged leader I am surprised at not needing one, for the tall attractive suffragette, in her dark tailored suit and sailor hat, was—yes—Madge Wood!
Then the scene fades and I am again motion less before the Sphinx. Rosy tints are appearing in the east while the great moon slowly fades. I hear the sepulchral voice murmur. “Go tell all you have seen.” So this, class mates, is the message of the Sphinx. HELEN ROBERTSON.

Junior History
F our present class of twenty-three, only nine started in the first
grade in 1912. During the grammar years two were added
to our membership. This number, supplemented by seven new
recruits from the eighth grade, brought our class enrollment up to thirty four, ready for the first quarter of the four-year high school work.
A number of these old members dropped, and so far only a few new ones have been added to our original high school list. This year we have witnessed two serious losses. Cooper Ponton, due to his superior intelligence, bade his fellow classmates farewell and took up his abode with the Seniors. Fred Storm also left us to attend school in Baltimore.
Of our present class of twenty-three, there may be some drones in the hive, but the majority of them are busy workers and will make a record for themselves in the world.
In literary fields we have never been idle. Last year the team from our class won the cup for declamation. This year we furnished three contestants for the literary contest. Many of our members have been conspicuous for good scholarship, while others have made themselves famous in athletics.
May we all work in unison and come out victorious in the future struggles just as we have done in the past, and thBs may the Class of 1923 present the largest and best body of graduates ever recorded in
the history of our Alma Mater.

History of the Class of 1924
WONDER how Mr. H. G. Wells felt when he undertook to write his “Out line of History.’’ I am quite sure he could not have been so overburdened with responsibility as I am now.
Woe is me should I not do justice to the Class of ’24. Yet I feel they deserve to have fallen into better hands than these.
In 1913, just before the year of the Great World War, eleven little boys and girls entered the first grade of the C. C. H. S. Timid and reluctant, they entered upon the first year of the great eleven that make up the high school course.
One member in the second year and five in the third increased the number to seventeen. In the fourth year four more names were added, in the fifth one lone recruit, and in the seventh, five, making a total of twenty-six to enter the eighth grade or first year high school.
How very important it seemed to be in the high school and have a different teacher for each subject!
Here we received five new additions and now in this, the ninth year of progress, four others have enrolled, making a total of thirty-six at the present time.
As sophomores the class is proud of its record, numbering among its members debaters, deciaimers, musicians, splendid students and some especially gifted in Latin and History. In athletics this class can boast of worthy representatives in both girls’ and boys’ basketball teams.
Two more years of successful work will bring this band of thirty-six to graduation, and I sincerely trust that we shall not lose a member, but welcoming each addition, we may graduate with the distinction of five scholarships and of being the largest class in the history of the Chase City High School.

Freshman Class History
In the fall of 1914 our class began its long tedipus journey. Many were lost by the wayside, but we still can boast of having eleven of the original members. They are Louise Fitz, Bernice Wilmouth, Willie Weston, Edna Ward, Gladys
McKinney, Elizabeth Wood, Virginia Bowers, Haskins Eubank, Virginius New, Aubrie Ward and Bailey Wilson.
Marguerite Smith was our only addition in the second grade. Terry Lee Roberts, Evelyn Atkinson, Mildred Melsheimer, Lucy Hershman, William Finch and Charles Emory joined us in the third grade. In the fourth grade our new members were Shirley Williams and Lucile Wildman.
At the beginning of our fifth year Rachel Lawson, Gene Staples, Waddie Jackson and Delmas Owen attached themselves to our band. Annie Bevil was our next entree. Margaret Brame, Lucile Carter, Ardell Willis, Ruth Orr, Maynard Beales, Claude and Garland Owen and Byron Rockwell joined our happy throng in the seventh grade.
In September, 1921, we began our freshman year, in which we were joined by Alice Williams, Madeline Downey, Catherine Spencer, William Boswell, Hunter Crenshaw and William Chandler. While the mysteries of Algebra present themselves and we are charmed by Latin and amazed at the wonders of science, we are realizing our position as Freshmen. As the doors of history are closing on the past, we are looking forward to the future with high expectations.

Champions—Resume
VICTORY is ours. The championship cup has been brought
back to C. C. H. S. and placed in our collection of trophies,
where it now rests, lined in graceful splendor against the back
ground of other reminders of many a hard-won fight. Victory was not lured by soft words or deeds to spread her wings over our campus, but was wrested from the contending grasps of eager aspirants for her favor, from the grasp of five foemen well “worthy of our steel.” Right nobly did we strive, right nobly did we win. Our opponents were strong, clean and fair, and on the same plane did we meet and overcome them.
A discussion of the team would be far from complete without a sketch of each letter man, but space restricts this to a few words.
“Pete” Maddux’s generalship is worthy of careful note, and added to this his knowledge of the game made him one of the best captains in the history of C. C. H. S. “Rudie” Atkinson proved a worthy running mate to Captain Maddux and caused much trouble for the opposing guards. “Dick” Goode came back wth all of his old-time form and was a thorn in the sides of an opposing forward. “Ed” Eubank introduced a new form of greased lightning in his trips down the court and kept his man constantly under cover. “Happy” McCall was in the game from start to finish, continuously breaking up the shots and passes of the opposing team. Owen and Zollinger did their parts admirably when called upon and are worthy of the honor to wear the coveted C. C. H. S.

The Season With the Girls
0NCE more the clouds of battle have been erased from the horizon
and old C. C. H. S. has made a name for herself in another
branch of sports, that of girls’ basketball. The team this year
has made a record that will go down in the annals of history as one of the greatest achievements ever accomplished by a team representing old C. C. H. S. Such teams as Scottsburg, Keysville, South Hill, Clarksville, Union Level and LaCrosse have fallen under the prowess of her team.
To judge the true strength of the team, a short sketch of each member is necessary. The generalship of Agnes Gregory, captain, notice, as well as her valuable service as a side-center. Annie Wallace, who occupied the pivot position, had little trouble in getting the tip on the opposing centers and was one of the main factors in keeping the ball near the C. C. H. S. goal. Lila Dedmon was always on the job when the ball was near the opposing team’s goal and was a source of trouble for every forward she happened to guard.
Violet Hester proved a worthy mate to Lila and was a stumbling block to many an opponent. Annie Laura Brame and Helen Smith converted the passes of their teammates into points, a majority of the shots being from difficult angles. These two rightfully deserve to be classed among the best forwards turned out by old C. C. H. S.
Grace Saunders and Rose Jackson played an excellent game when called upon and should make valuable varsity material for next year’s team. Much credit is due Miss Saunders, who, through her leadership and coaching ability, was a large factor in the success of the team.

Play Ball
The 1922 baseball season proved to be one of the most successful in the history of old C. C. H. S. Eight games were played, of which number six were victories for the local team. In both of the defeats the locals outhit their opponents and would have won if they had been given the breaks of the game.
The infield, consisting of Williams at first, Eubank at second, Hester and Atkinson at the hot comer, and Beales at shortstop, was one of the best on the defensive, as well as offensive, that C. C. H. S. can boast of.
The outfield, consisting of Newman in right, Maddux in left, and Captain Goode in center, was as fast and as hard hitting combination as any team could wish for.
In Wilkinson, a left-hander, and Owen, a right-hander, C. C. H. S. had two pitchers upon whom she could depend to do their part toward winning games.
Chandler showed up well behind the bat, and with a little more experience should make one of the best catchers in this section.
Only two men, Maddux and Captain Goode, are lost by graduation, so the 1923 team should be even better than the one this year.

Senior-Sophomore Literary Society
At the beginning of the session of 1921-1922 the Senior-Sophomore society was organized, and under the efficient supervision of Mrs. Anderson and Miss Estes it proved to be not only a source of entertainment but one of much learning. The faculty advisers were aided in the preparation of the programs by the society officers, who proved to be most capable. The debate was really the most outstanding feature of the program and was duly enjoyed, but the musical feature was always looked forward to with great anticipation. Other parts were enjoyed also.
Once each month a regular meeting was held in the school auditorium, at which the Junior-Freshman was a guest. By having two societies, competition was inevitable, and this, with the co-operation of each member, made the programs very interesting.
In the age of political strife and publicity it is very essential that boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow. They not only obtain this training in the literary societies but something is learned, and no matter how trivial it may be it adds to the building of an intellect.

Junior-Freshman Literary Society
The Junior-Freshman Literary Society was organized during the portion of the school term and in spite of the fact that half of the members were merely beginners in literary activities it did some exceptionally splendid work. Miss Potts and Miss Saunders were the teachers in charge, and under their direction the society progressed.
Only one regular meeting was held during the month, but the society was always present at the monthly meeting of the Senior-Sophomore. The last entertainment was turned over to the civics class, which, under the auspices of Miss Saunders, gave a mock trial. The auditorium was effectively arranged to represent a court room, and in due time the murder of “Much Time” was condemned.
Although this society had many accomplished members, it boasted of the best debaters in school, and some day the world may hear from them. If all the members continue to improve in literary ability it is quite evident that a goal will be reached.
