1946

The CHS Class of 1946 graduated 41 students and the first class to have an album. These pictures were taken from the album and the quality of most of the pictures is very poor. If you find mistakes or can give me additional information please contact me at ewyat@charter.net

All pages of the album are included in this Picture Gallery. I also have pictures scanned from the group picture. Not all of the students were included in the group picture.
