1911-1919
Welcome the CHS students and staff web page for the time span of 1911 to 1919
Back in the heyday of 1917 there were less than four hundred students at CHS, which is a pale comparison to the nearly twelve hundred students now. The staff of back then nearly numbered thirty while during the 1997-98 school year there was 109. In fact the senior class barely outnumbered the staff. But with time comes growth of the city and growth of the school. And over the course of eighty years years the numbers of average students per class has only risen by ten. It still goes to show that the teachers and students of CHS still care about the important part of school, learning.
Fashion was also big at CHS but it was a
far cry from the fashion of today. Of course all the girls wore dresses and the boys
slacks and sports coats, but often a school emblem was worn somewhere on the students
piece of outerwear. As represented in the pictures, people did not smile. Why no one is
smiling is a good question, but no one wants to step forward with an answer.
