Tom Langdon represented Australia and CCHS at Youth World. During the months of diligent studying, strenuous assignments, and challenging tests at school, each student is motivated and en- couraged by the thoughts of summer vacation. When that final bell has sounded, the student body emerges from the halls of CCHS to en- gage in various activities. fhere are some who remain and struggle through tedious weeks of summer 'school, but the majority of people become disassociated with institutions of learning during their free months. Some spend their time participating in clubs like 4-H, while others resort to jobs in order to make money for extras. Many people travel, but most find that there is much to be enjoyed in their own town. Lazy days at home or on the beach compose the nucleus of summer life for them. However, in those last days of vacation, when all that is left are pleasant memories of past adventures, there is a quiet yet definite anticipation of the com- ing year of school. The sumrner's escapades are pushed to the backs of minds, only to be recalled during those long months between Sep- tember and June. Pleasures The cheerleaders spent many rewarding hours at camp in order to gain the spectators' support.

Newly organized bowling leagues provide an outlet for energy and a means for enjoyment. Familiar Routine Constitutes Geoff Partlow and Debbie Cray, like many other students, enjoy diversions from strenuous school days., lwrfvw - D fi,msfaf'111lmxQsP'i ipmnfs: Daily life at CCHS consists of a pleasant mixture of routine events at school and extracurricular ac- tivities. Periodic trips to the school nurse, long Waits in the lunch line, and ,uneventful yet enlightening class sessions compose most of the long weeks of schooling. Dull, humdrum and monotonous may Well describe the majority of days at Community, but those words give way to challenging, exciting, and memorable when one recalls the casual incidents which added the enjoyment and appreciation to high school life. After several hours of studying, students escape such a tedious chore by bowling with the YMCA league, socializing at the newly re- modeled Teen Town, or just loafing with a special someone. But no matter where one may be or what he may be doing, life for the high school student is a combination of classrom and leisure activities at every level.
